    RE posh sandwiches question.

    If you cancel an assignment, are you then blocked from that location? I had to cancel one due to illness, my local, and I've never seen it again, even when there are millions in the big smoke nearby. I recently had to cancel one due to an appointment overrunning and I can't see that one either, but the other branch in the area is visible..... any ideas? Should I contact them?


    ETA - Others can't see it either so not blocked. Good to know!
  • Can I first say thanks for all the advice you guys give on here - didn't really know it was possible to make money mystery shopping and so will certainly look at applying to a few companies.

    However what I'm really looking for is some promotional work. I'm a trained dancer and performer but there's not a lot of work about at the moment. My friends have given me the names of a few agencies they've done promotional work for in the past and I've registered with them but haven't heard anything yet.

    Whitelabel has recommended FieldStar (thanks Whitelabel - and sorry for posting into an old thread) and I've joined them and will apply for a few vacancies on there. Does anyone know of any other websites I could try?

    Sorry to ask about promotional work on a mystery shopping thread by the way - but I've struggled to find a forum about promotional work and someone suggested I try asking you friendly lot ;)

    aagh I want some work, diary is looking empty and the school ski trip has just come out £900! Why can't I have fast fingers instead of the these chubby stumpy ones, I insist the companies wait until I am on the internet to release jobs!
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    Ring round to the different companies and ask if theres anything going local to you. Got me several bookies today over the phone that I couldnt see on the website.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    It totally agree. They are a real breeze aren't they.
    Virtually no narrative.
    'You have 253 errors' becomes 'ready to submit' in about 10 minutes. Brilliant.

    That questionnaire on Sassie is the best. I even picked another one up because the report was so simple. The visits are fun too, as soon as you say "you are not buying that very day", the assistant normally shows you the door straight away. Woohoo.

    Oh the fees have been massively increased on some of the REACT visits that are due. If you have one in your area, then go for it. The running shoe shop is a good one, the report is not too complex.

    I did a last minute toy shop for Catalyst this morning, decent pay for a report that wasn't too bad, major plus for me though is it has been proof read, scored and feedback given all in a couple of hours. I'd love more companies to give some feedback from visits, it really makes a difference.

    I like Catalyst. Nice staff and good pay. The toy shops are nice, have simple scenarios and easy reports. I know the pay has been a bit hit and miss for a few on here, but personally, I have never had a problem. And like you say, the feedback on the reports is a nice touch.
    I do, however, have a house full of battery operated toys!!!
