Shall we remove RA from the list on the first page of the mystery shoppers thread due to insulting fee's.
I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

Agreed. At this rate, we'll be paying them to do jobs.Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

They shouldn't be removed - there would be hundred / thousands of people asking questions about them. Better to put a comment on the 1st page to the effect that they are really low payers.0

They are taking the pee, that small amount for a job! I just wish people wouldn't accept these jobs.0

I think they should be removed but in FAQ's should be a section about why they are not on the list.:j0 -
I think that RA should be left on the list, with the caveat that fees can be low (as had already been said).
As a fairly seasoned mystery shopper, I do occasional jobs for low fees, because this gives me credibility when negotiating higher fees with the same agency. If RA is removed from this list, new shoppers will miss out on this opportunity. Also, some of the RA jobs are very quick and straightforward, and could be good for new shoppers just looking to gain some experience.0 -
Its not just the low fees, in my case I did a few jobs and didn't get paid for them. I've chased it up and had to fill in a form- wasting more time chasing after a few quid. Not even the courtesy of a response yet :mad:
There should be a warning on the first page about them.0 -
I did some pharmacy jobs for RA. One of locations was double listed under two different brands (one brand had bought it from another).
I called the office and was told that this was fine and to log it down. Guess what happened, I didn't get my bonus (not my fault they had listed it wrong) and when I sent an e-mail asking why not, I was not replied to and had my account disabled. I was not rude or overbearing, I just put a short e-mail saying it wasn't my error, e-mails that I send to companies like TNS all the time.
Kick them off, we aren't slaves0 -
Desperate people on here will still take RA jobs for £1. Just shows was levels people stoop to and do a diservice to us all.0
