I thought I'd give Helion a try yet, after joining and applying for just one job, which I didn't get, now see the following message:

In the constant strive to improve the system for you we are planning some updates. To be able to do this we have temporarily deactivated shopper grading and available evaluations.
Both will be up and running again soon and we will inform you on this page when everything is up and running again!
We hope you enjoy our updates!

It's been like this for a few days, anyone else with Helion, are they a reputable company?

Yes, they are reputable - I haven't had a ton of work from them, but any jobs I have done were graded and paid with no problems.

Thanks for the reply HeavensDevil. It's nice to finally get an acknowledgement; being a 'noobie' appears to make people a little paranoid that you're not a real MS.

Ooh and I got my GAP payment too :j

JohnnyG you need to understand that people who work for companies that have a MS programme come on here to try to find out who does it so they can sign up to try to see when they will be shopped.

If someone new comes on and simply asks which company does a certain shop then it will receive an appropriate response.

You asked a question 4 hours ago and have a response already?

I see RA health shops make you void receipt so no chance of taking the items back
And I think the GR cat shops need to up the fee a bit

It's gone very quiet on the GfK front, well where I live anyway. Has anyone else experienced this or is it just me?

I find they all go in fits and starts. Gfk is quiet for me right now but have done quite a few jobs for them in January and February. Think that's why it's best to be signed up to quite a few then hopefully you've got enough work to be doing.

ABA have lost the catalogue shops.

Not a good month for ABA as another of their clients is scaling back their mystery shopping. Shame as this was one of the companies that I did the most work for.

Thanks Kst101, I managed to pick up quite a few of their phone assignments in Feb, will keep on checking their website
