Field Agent - Billboard Checks,

Anyone else been doing the Field Agent (iPhone App), Roadside Billboard Checks this weekend ?

Field Agent seemed to be going off the boil a bit, but 3000 jobs available this weekend, Wow,

Managed to do 119 of them Sat & Sun (6am to 6pm) (Between myself and OH) they took about 10mins each and as there were 4 or more at the same location in some places it really made it a great weekend,

Has anyone else been doing them, how did you find it, Easy Money?.,

2 Full Long days, but 119 * £6.50 more than happy,

Thinking about going tomorrow to try some more, but all the local ones are gone, so not sure if its worth driving a distance to pick up odds here and there.

  • Firstly, apologies if this is the wrong place to post, I can start a new thread if you want :)

    I looked up Field Agents after reading your post, unfortunately it is only available on iPhone at the moment :( Do you (or anyone else reading this) know if there is something similar on Android? Sounds like a great way to make a few quid when being out and about anyway!

    I think they were talking about an andriod app a few months ago, but nothing ever came of it,

    I think if they are going to get busier now they will have to consider it as Andriod has grown to a large market share,

    Best bet is to go on the field agent facebook pace and ask about it, I thnk several others already have

  • Just remember that this is still classified as work, not "money for nothing".

    If you do get this app and start earning money, you will need to let the taxman know. See the Mystery Shopping thread for more information on this.

  • why do people insist on pointing out the obvious about the taxman? do they get some sort of pleasure out of it? I've noticed this seems to be on the increase.

    God forbid anyone trying to be helpful on the forum! I think its something that should be stamped out immediately!

    Because it beats repeating the obvious in 6 months time?! Its politlely reminding people not to overlook this, potentially, causing problems later!



    Why do people insist on posting in a post where they havent posted about anything to do with the post?! Or in any way contributing to post other than trying to put down another poster.... Put that in your post and smoke it!

    I'm being HELPFUL, dear - ever tried it, rather than being snarky??

    If someone gets the app and earns £700 a week and doesn't declare it, and the taxman finds out they could be in BIG trouble!

    Yes, to you it might be obvious, but maybe to someone of lesser intelligence, or a non-English speaker, they may not realise.
