    can someone help me with the E** mystery shops for the smartphones?

    I really want to accept some assignments but I don't have a camera phone and can only really take photos using my digital camera of the outside of the store. I've looked at the assignment notes but I'm so confused what it's asking me to upload. I've pasted it below so someone can hopefully clarify it. There are 5 jobs in my area and I've just noticed they expire tomorrow. Does anyone know if E** extend the dates sometimes?

    'A scanned copy (or photo) of the demo version observed on the displayed smarthphone written down on the piece of paper.

    Once you have left the store:
    - Write down the demo version observed

    Once at home:
    - Make a picture of the piece of paper or make a scanned copy of it
    - upload it on your online questionnaire'

    Thankyouuu!

    Hi - not checked your previous posts but are you new to MSing ?
    reaaaaaly need to edit your post to remove brief / client details


    ive not read the brief but from what youve written
    its saying when you leave, on a piece of paper write down the model demonstrated
    then when home take a photo of that or scan it
    and upload that picture

    there may be a limit to the number of shops you can do per wave too so dont bank on getting all 5
    not sure on them extended dates either

    I know what you mean but whats the point in mystery shopping if they know that we are the shopper, its a waste of money for them and a waste of our time

    All they really want are the timings. After that it's all just daft observational stuff.
    The client wants to know what the timings are in real life situations. So by the time you've asked for the receipt it doesn't matter, you've already got the important information that the client wants. After that, they can put on an amazing floor show for you, but the timings you have aren't going to change.
    The client KNOWS the receipt is a give away, but in their words, "We're not too bothered, because we only really want the timings, which you'll have before you ask for the receipt."

    So come on everyone. Stop worrying about it. And what's the worst that can happen anyway? You get asked if everything is alright and they open the door for you.:)

    Thanks. Yeah I've been doing it for around 5 years. I don't post much on the forum and sometimes seen client names so never thought much of it.. I'll remember in future though!

    You write down the reference number or whatever, then when you get home you take a photo of your piece of paper with the number on it.
    I don't have a smartphone and have done a few of these with no problems,

    Hi, Is anyone having trouble entering results on MF tonight? I've ticked yes and continue to say the visit was successful but no questionnaire is coming up. Have tried several times.
