Well I have just jumped on the Mystery Shop bandwagon, signed up to

ABAi - Got my first job to complete tomorrow

GfK - Just passed their little test which had a couple points of interest for the job above.

International Service Check - saw the job ad on job centre plus posted yesterday (due to new contracts so says ad)

My OH used to do MS some 8/10 years ago (when you posted your reports or faxed over if urgent!) and we noted the remuneration has somewhat crashed through the floor, going on the first job I have to do.

I will give it a few months to see how things turn out

Well done on taking the plunge and welcome to this thread. Have you read the first few posts on this thread, you'll find them helpful. Any other questions, or assistance, we're here to help.

And yes, reimbursements are reducing virtually before our eyes!!!

WHY OH WHY OH WHY

does TNS want ‘Attitude to Risk’? from us? they say it relates to assignment, but it seems they are looking for data ... the reason why I do not know.

I have shopped various cars companies from them and they do not ask if I like certain cars ... so why ask about this! seems fishy to me

i had similar thoughts and will be giving it a miss

I finally got a reply for the ones that were marked as paid but never appeared in my bank account. He said he would look into it, 3 weeks later and several more chaser emails and nothing. Shan't be doing any more for them methinks.

My partner did a bunch of car visits marked paid on the 26th NOTHING showed up. I shall be throwing one of my fancy BARE legal letters me thinks.

Cut off is the end of the month and payment is the 9th. Should be with you on Friday. You may not get everything you done last month, a few people I have spoken to have commented that they didn't manage to proof everything before the cut off this month, especially eggs!

Have you had problems with them in the past? I have never had a problem but I too am still waiting to be paid for some of the car dealers that I did at the end of June!

Yup I have had problems with them in the past. But then they seemed to be doing well.. and now it seems LOTS of people have had their assignments marked as PAID and no payments. Ill be sending an email off to the owner this morning... followed by an email to the accounts dept. ill keep you posted.

Thanks for that. I have been looking back as I did loads of work for them in June / July and I am pretty sure some that say paid are not actually paid. I am thinking of not doing anything for them again until they sort themselves out as they owe me a small fortune now.

Just received an email from TNS containing hundreds of peoples email addresses, followed quickly by a recall message ... which also contained the same hundreds of email addresses. Please don't ever send me another email reminding ME about confidentiality now, will you TNS????!!!!
