GFK Mystery Shopping

Does anyone do Mystery Shopping for GFK? They want your bank details when you sign up on-line. Are they a genuine company?

thanks

    Yes they are genuine, I used to do them, but all they seem to offer is Job Centre assignments in my area now. Too depressing for me. They used to do a lot of cafe assignments but that seems to have dried up now.

    Hi Bebewoo

    Thanks for that. I was just unsure about putting my bank details on-line.
  • There is a specific mystery shopping thread if you want any more information on mystery shopping - will probably get more responses there! And they do a lot more than the previous poster suggested......

    They are probably the most reliable company. They always pay on time and offer regular assignments. Sometimes you don't even need to spend any money and once you are on their system you will get offers of other work in your area when it crops up. Good luck.:j

    Yes they are genuine, but very few jobs from them in recent months where I live.

    I've found them to be one of the better ones for jobs in recent months - 10 in the last 6 weeks for me.


    If you are interested in this company and others you might be better joining the Mystery Shopping Thread - everyone is nice and friendly in there and can answer any questions for you. The first 2 posts of that thread contain everything you need to know to get started.

    They are asking for your bank details so they can pay you. Which they do :)

    I have had quite a few jobs for them recently and the questionnaires you need to do aren't too bad.

    Would recommend the Mystery Shopping thread as well.
