Slightly regretting my 'sure, I'll take as much as you want to give me' to a certain US based company. I have loooooong lists, and long days ahead of me. Smile and think of the money. Well, that and the fact that alcohol is a permissable purchase.

I've some long lists waiting for me next week, it will fill up the fridge nicely

I've just done a collection of jobs for RA go to fill in the 20 jobs that are grouped together and find it will only let me fill in the details for one. I have emailed them this evening but am unsure of what to do now, worried that I won't get paid for them as the data will not get entered until tomorrow. Has anyone else done a group like this for pain relief places and knows the solution?

Have a check on the form - I have often had a wrestle with them, as I constantly forget that they want the date the wrong way around. Or wrong way around to my way of thinking anyway! It's month first, as far as I can remember. They also don't use the 24 hour clock, so check the time box is right.

Spoken to them seems that there is a snaffu. Seems that when I phoned I was given bad advice by their own people, the person I spoke to this am is looking into it with her manager. Not a happy bunny.

One other question - Does anyone know when Q pay.

Does anyone know how to get my TNS fieldworker id? I have forgotten it and nowhere to request it like your password.

Hi everyone,

I've been MSing for 4 years but have only just found this forum.

Does anyone have experience of working for QUEST? Do they pay on time - their website says the 15th of the following month.

Thanks

RA are lovely. All MS companies have poor paying jobs, just don't do them. I tend to wait for the visits that pay well and pick them. Also, they do premiums too so the poor paying jobs can actually work out quite well.

QUEST are good, it does take them a fair while to pay. I did a visit for them in October and they paid me in January. Like I said, it took a while but they paid.

SHOPANGELS are the same. Took about two months to get paid, but it happened eventually.

The only company that has not paid me for a job is GR. I did one of "those" supermarkets where you had to 10 questions and there was only 1 member of staff. After 8 encounters with the same woman, I bottled it. I mean I might as well have gone in with my MYSTERY SHOPPER crown. I stay well clear of those visits now.

Well chuffed. Did 9 x TNS phone visits and 3 of the stores were closed. Woohoo. Easy money.

Have a top weekend all.

Hi,

I've just started MSing and have had a query on one of my shops for MF. They asked about a meal I had ordered as I had ordered a premium one, rather than standard so they wanted to know if it was upsold ori I had ordered it. On the assignment notes upselling was refered to in relation to size and extras, not meal type.

As I ordered a premium meal, rather than standard and get upsold do you think this could result in non-payment??

Thanks

Ive not seen the brief but if you were asked to order a standard one and could accept an upsell to large it is one thing but if it doesnt mention being able to order a premium meal then you have not followed the brief and as such wont be paid as you havent done what they asked to do,

im doing a gap pizza online job which annoyingly has a 50% discount over certain amounts and my order by itself comes to just under that, so I looked at ordering a load of extra stuff, but although codes and meal deals can be used as detailed in the brief it is only if you order valid items, so I cant expand my order and order loads of desert for essentially free, as it isnt a valid meal item.

In essence, follow the brief to the letter and you shouldnt go far wrong.
Better luck next time

I could but I thought ordering another 6 1.5 litre bottles might raise some suspicion...
shame as I was hoping to stock up on icecream and cake

The order total came to just under the minimum after 50% discount so I could have ordered the same amount of food again or loads of stuff, but im flying solo tonight and it would have gone to waste.
