    Are you applying for the audits? If so you will be rejected as these are invite only and different from MS.

    Hi,
    I am new as a MS. How do you remember all the times (with seconds) you need to write down later? (how long you stand in a queue ...)

    I usually use the stopwatch on my mobile, either with it in my pocket, or in my hand to look like I'm texting.

    for ESA eggs, do you need to take 3 pictures of the store exterior, I don;t think you do but it says:

    "• 3 x Photographs of the exterior of the store (where applicable). "

    I've been Money Tipped!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

    If you're new to Mystery Shopping, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY TO SIGN UP WITH ANY COMPANIES.

    My friend saw me today " I signed up with that company you told me about and gave them my £30." Turns out she paid £30 to get a long list of mystery shopping companies, similar to the one on the first posts of this thread.

    Scum of the earth run these sorts of companies - anything you need to know is found in this thread. Don't pay for free information.

    I can't believe my luck.
    I've just got approved for my first ever mystery shopping assignment having only signed up yesterday with 'Bare international'.
    They've emailed me back to confirm the assignment is mine and the brilliant thing is that it's "SOME" euros to visit a car dealership, haggle over the price of a particular car and assess the customer service then fill in the online questionaire.
    The other brilliant thing is that I can see the car dealership from my house and that my brother has been talking about buying the very car I have to enquire about. Looks like I may be able to get him a decent deal.
    Only downside is that they pay on 22nd of the month and I'm doing it on 23rd. :(
    Wish me luck I'm gonna need it. So So nervous.

    It only wants photos if it asks for them just after the additional services section. You will also see the fee is a little higher if it needs photos. Not many seem to need them on this round.
