    I spoke to Ted today - did yet another React fuel job (the fees keep going up :)) He wanted to check when I would do it as it is due today - he said the first person he asked said she would do it by the weekend which I made a :eek: noise at. He sounded pleased I was going to do the job and the report today :)


    Had React payment invoice today - am presuming as it went out 12th that it should come to me on Wednesday maybe?

    Am looking forward to Gap paying although depends whether a job completed on July 31st will come into my August pay how happy I am (had a nice bonus :))

    I'm not doing so much at the moment as it is school holidays, although I am managing to fit a bit in. Every little helps (need to update my spreadsheet though so I can see what I have actually earned).

    I *heart* these phone shops. None of the staff actually seem to give a flying fu** and you are in and out in 10 minutes, plus the report is not too bad and does not take that long. Easy moolah! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I did 6 local ones last month so I won't be able to do anymore for another 2/3 months which kinda sucks!

    Are you talking about GFK phone shops?? Where are you doing these?? And how?? I have to go through the whole rigmarole every time, and I've done them in four different cities! The quickest I've ever been in and out is about 20 minutes, and on two or three occasions about an hour or more. Come on, spill your secrets! :D

    I am getting sick of burgers. 3 times a week now for 3 weeks. Please no more burgers. Argggghhhh.....there are 8 more again to do and all at a premium. A very good premium. Last week they were desperate and rang me, pleaded with me and offered 3 times the normal fee plus reimbursement. Hopefully again this week.

    i do a few gfk phones a month and have to say i would not buy there. they are so bloody pushy and full of !!!!! eg raise an objection and they get someone else and say 'this is.... she is looking at ..... but wants to think about it' then they go on and on again. the same with the bloody insurance, i have already told you i want to think about it so dont waste my time going through the sodding leaflet! give me a copy and tell me when i come back to sign up! grrrr :mad:

    i think customers would prefer it if they didnt do all the bull they are meant to do. although you can get free stuff if you raise an objection ;)

    In West Yorkshire. They just want to chat to each more and not help moi or other customers out. My local one is legendary, done it 3 times, and each time, I was not offered a seat nor given any information on various aspects of the visit. In and out in 5 minutes, and most of the report was "N/A, not mentioned by the sales consultant".

    Must be a northern thing as it's the same in the north west. Never tell you anything ! Makes the reports a doddle though

    Too right. And copy and paste helps too. LOL. I love the GFK banks, the one with transaction and then an easy peasy enquiry. Those are top notch. Did my local one and the service was abysmal, gave them a really bad report. Went in today just to pay in a cheque, not do an ms, and I got a super duper trooper floor show. She even helped me with my bags and called her colleague over who wanted to say hi and ask me how I was et all. I was gonna ask her to make a sandwich whilst I was there. Do you think that would have been rude?

    Thanks

    It's because Max only accepts pretty mystery shoppers in his company!! ;)

    Or just to make sure that you are legitimate, your profile is right I guess, as some jobs require you to me a certain age or gender, that you're a real person, not signing up multiple times to get more jobs etc.
