Can anyone help me ...purleeese!

I have just entered the world of mystery shopping. So I'm sorry if this question is daft but I'm just trying to assess whether a shop is worth my while or not. When they list a fee as £0 and a reimbursement of £10 if you only spend say £5 having bought everything they want you to buy will they still pay you the £10 or will you only get what you spent ie the £5.00. Will fully stuff my face with starters and puds if they don't but will be more respectful towards my so called diet if they do!

Thanking y'all.

Any signs of RE money? I take it they would have paid it on the 12th as the 10th was a Saturday. I suppose that makes it due tomorrow, however it always seems to take an age with Retail Eyes.

It always hits your bank account on the 15th and last working day of the month. Mine is in today.

It depends on the company. Most will only reimburse what you spend but a few will give the full amount regardless.

I'm guessing it's Retail Eyes, and they only give you what you actually spend.

I remember about six months or so ago, someone was asking what we called ourselves (not mystery shoppers) I need to fill in a form at work about additional jobs and wondered what people called themselves? I HAVE looked back but can't find it (search doesn't seem to turn up anything useful)
Thanks

Has anyone got any really bad stories about not getting paid or losing money somehow? What's the most you've lost out on?

Nope but felt screwed after doing gaming shops on reimbursement only. Never again.

I think the term is Customer Service Evaluator - that's what's going on my CV anyway!

Ser, if you search my posts, it was me that suggested this so you should find the other suggestions at the same time.

I usually say field marketing as that covers MS, merchandising and auditing.

However, my hairdresser thought it was something to do with farming :rotfl:

Woohoo! Going to Cornwall this weekend and just picked up 3 petrol jobs on the way! That'll pay for my petrol there and back!

RE sometimes expect too much quality with their pictures. It is sometimes hard to stay discreet especially when the shop has windows.
