    Does anyone find they are going to talk to their mates about this and stop themselves in case they register too? I am in the north east of scotland and I don't think there are too many people doing this up here, but there is also much less work available.

    I am not going to say a thing!!!

    :rotfl:

    I am the opposite ! I have got my sister involved in mystery shopping too and she lives in my area

    often on a saturday evening we will go and do 4 or so pub jobs

    she drives and i get to drink :rotfl: :beer:

    My partner has told a few friends of his that I do it and how much I earn. They all keep asking him and texting me for more information but I don't want to because I've hardly turned a job down and don't want them to get then before me:o If they want to do it, then they should research like we did!:T

    Blimey you lot have been reading my mind! I've just been moaning to other half about having to justify every last thing for RE, and I also felt like a terrible liar in the Pharmacy when it got to the prescription collection thing I had to resurrect my dead granny and pretend she lived up the road but couldn't get out much!

    Oh and I didn't get the reveal job for TNS, it had gone when I emailed back about it. Never mind will look out for another.
  • Just out of interest, who is everyone registered with?

    I'm with TNS and getting plenty of work as I can travel a lot (it pays the petrol money so I can visit friends and relatives in different cities) but the jobs seem to be largely retail and not massivley well paid.

    Are there many people registered with two agencies and if so which do they reccomend?

    do ya research on the cars before you go is best

    as you are supposed to "know all there is to know about it and be ready to buy" :beer:

    good luck with it :)
  • i started with the mystery shopping bug a couple of weeks ago. im registered with tns and have done 2 jobs with them last weekend, retail eyes but nothing done yet, BAI and doing my first job with them tomorrow. ive also applied to others such as gap and retail eyes but havnt heard anything from them yet.

    shame about the reveal one turtle, its good fun :) keep looking though cos theres new ones all the time.

    best to just sign up with as many as possible i found

    most of my jobs have been with TNS,grassroots & BAI :beer:

    though ive also done some with gapbuster, retail eyes,frontline focus
  • thanks rachie. i dont see how i have time to research them all. theres 9 to do and its taken me all night to just get the stuff printed and read and try to get the questionnaire in my head :)

    think im going to go along with the story of i drove my friends car like this and i like it and want one. :) hope it works. im sure i will be fine once ive done my first one. i was worrying this time last week about the reveal ones :)
