None showed up for me, mind you I hate the brand with a passion that burns like the fire of a thousand suns, so I might struggle to be objective.

I cannot understand how putting a piece of fruit on an item and putting a lower case letter in-front of its name triples its value...actually I can, the founder was the worlds greatest marketer.

Am so glad to hear someone else say that!! I was starting to think it was just me!

Been doing some reading about mystery shopping on this website:

http://www.mysteryshopperjobs.co.uk

Two companies including "Consumer Intelligence" are listed (the other one seems to be more market research rather than mystery shopping). Is anyone here a member of C.I.? Do you receive any work and if so what is the pay? They seem to work with insurers so was hoping the pay may be a little higher than retailers.

I've done a few bits and bobs with Consumer Intelligence. The Insurance ones I've done are phoning 6 (I think) companies that they give you and obtaining a quote, then filling in the info about how the call went, and the price of the quote etc.
Money isn't too bad for it, seeing as they tend to be pretty quick, and you use their phone system so calls are free.

Other than that, as was discussed about them in the last few days already, they send out surveys as well, which are nice and short but you are just entered into a prize draw for a few pounds, and they have a few winners (20 prizes of £5 for example). I've won £6 and £5 I think. I just treat them like a survey site most of the time except for when an Insurance one comes up. I usually don't do surveys for prize draws but these ones are nice and short so I make an exception. I didn't declare the winnings or anything, as I wouldn't from a normal survey site, so don't see why I should just as this site also do a few mystery calls as well.

I know that MFers pay on the 10th and 25th and if these fall on a weekend it goes a bit 'funny' lol

I think somebody mentioned all their money rolled over to the 25th, but was sure that this would be corrected once Monday came as it was just the system.

Although, it's Tuesday the 13th and all my money is showing for the 25th. Anyone else got this?

I had that once but it was OK - can't remember how long it took to sort itself out. This time it is showing the way it should be.

Am doing a job where I need to send the item back by recorded delivery but have spotted on the job notes I need to include a copy of the receipt in with the item. Am hoping the post office has a photocopier and that they won't mind me faffing around with copying the receipt and then giving it in to be posted - what do other people tend to do with these?

That was me, and a portion of it has been paid, mind you my things are bit screwy my end at the moment and they've been very good with me.

Do Gapburger still do the 'Corner shops', as I have not seen one for ages and the certainly don't appear now when I search for assignments on their site.

Thanks

I did one a little while back so I assume they still do.

I took a photo of the receipt on the post office counter, popped the original in the bag and sent it with the items. No problem for the lovely lady at the post office to do it that way.

Yeah, mine went funny at the weekend but it was back to being ok yesterday. Should be in the bank on Thursday.

The only jobs i have seen for 2 months with GAP are burger ones. I emailed them about it and they said that their system had removed me from the Corner shops but they couldnt see why so they are re-setting it for me but said it could take a few days i will also have to retake the test .
