    My daughter has recently moved to Santander, Northern Spain. She has mystery shopping experience and would like to continue with it over there.

    Does anyone know any of our regular MS companies who might be interested in her?

    I did my first couple of jewellery shops for Secret Shopping Services early Sep. I know it says they are slow payers on the first page but how slow is slow? Cheers!


    "GREAT NEWS! We are going back to a payment period of up to 6 weeks as we have always done in the past instead of the 6-10 weeks we have done over the last 4-months."

    That's a quote from an email sent 9th October, so given you did early september I'd say you're still in the 6-10 week timeframe.

    BARE & Helion are the two that spring to mind that have European jobs, no doubt Max will be along soon to confirm if Helion have a big Spanish program currently.

    They usually ask that work is completed "in the local language" though, so only really good if her Spanish is up to scratch :)

    Never had a closed shop with GR, but it could depend on how they handle it, for example with Gap closed shops in the past have shown as 'cancelled' and a closed shop fee has been added to another existing job.

    Edit:- So basically just because it isn't shown as completed visits I wouldn't say that means it won't be paid.
