    I turned my Mystery Shopping Trips down, in the end I decided that £20 for 2 assignments was too much hassle as it was with a bank and I don't that account often - in fact it's not been used for 3 years and it's a "book" savings account so it was too much hassle to pay in the money and take it out again 2 days later!

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    :( hope another one comes up for you soon freebird
  • I have got another two jobs this week, which i am very grateful for but they are always in shops or banks. I am hoping that a nice meal one or a pub lunch would be very nice. I keep plodding away and enjoying the money:D

  • I've been keenly reading this thread for the past week and have just completed 3 assignments thanks to the links attached. Thanks to everyone for posting so much information - it's been a real help. I have been let down with job offers this summer (I am a student) and the overdraft is a real burden, as I'm not able to work it off without a job! I would be grateful if anyone could suggest/pm me with some more mystery shopping agencies/market research proposals. I live in the East End of London. Thank you all again.

  • Have you tried mysterydining.co.uk you dont get paid but you get a meal. Might mean you can have a cheap night out to keep you going. They are looking for people in some areas of London.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I have had two assignments in three days which were both easy. The company that I signed up with has my home address and the area that I work in so if it is a weekday assignment , they only offer me ones around my work and the weekend ones, either around where I work or live. This is much better as I just pop out to the shops during my lunch break.

    Thank you, that is definitely a really useful website. I've just signed up for two areas, fingers crossed I can get a few offers. Thank you :)
