Mystery Shopping Thread 20 **PLEASE DO NOT MENTION CLIENT NAMES OR FEES ON HERE**

I don't think you will have much luck with RE. My parents did a meal job for them. From the internet it looked like the reimbursement would only be about £5 short of the cost, in reality it was over £15 short. My dad spoke to them politely about it, but to cut a long story short they didn't offer any more money.

Hey guys, sorry to but in here but I do mystery shopping every now and then (though in fact more so in the past, haven't done a job for a long while really) and have a question regarding a job I have tomorrow.

Basically, is there any point in trying to get RE to consider making the reimbursement rate higher? As on reviewing the menu of the place I am visiting I realise that there is no way the amount they have offered is going to cover the cost of the food/drink they want me to order.There is also no fee, just the inadequate reimbursement. I am considering cancelling but wondering if there's any way they may review the terms. Anyone ever had success with this at all or am I pushing my luck? Thanks x

Its not the 'front room' job is it? You struggle to get a main course in there for the reimbursement and you have to buy wine which the cheapest small glass is something like £4.20 then they insist on you taking a friend. You have got to admit it is a great way by the company to increase sales.

Ugh, RE have just posted up some jobs with the dates starting 1st August with one of them being directly opposite a place I shopped earlier. I could have easily walked about 3 seconds across the shopping centre and done it and they would have had the report a few hours ago

Anyone seeing new jobs on TNS. I see a load for next couple of weeks and then nothing beyond. No car jobs. I have not seen this before and usually have more booked in at this stage of the month.

Thanks.

Anyone with an HSBC bank received their Bare payment? The website shows as paid 27/7 but I can't see it in my bank yet and can't remember how long it usually takes to trickle through.

Cheers

Hiya.
Just did my first ms for blueapple,well, it wasn't really a mystery shop but hey ho, it's money and it was a piece of cake. Anyway, as it was my first one and I can't find any info, do they just deal with you by email, i.e. do I just send the info I collected back on email to them?
thanks.

Hi
Yes, just email the info back, and the pay claim. They are quite prompt in paying usually.

I've got a Co-op bank account and not had payment yet. Last time I had a payment it was through paypal so not sure how long it took then. Hopefully soon
