Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

leni

I just got offered and turned down a gym one - I said for what they were asking (including a workout lol) the fee was no enough. Including transport and tax, preparing, doing and completing the questionnaire I'd have been on less than half minimum wage an hour - they asked me what ammount I would do it for, I said double and they said no, so I said ok, doesn't matter and we ended the phonecall.

I have to say a big thank you to you all, esp becles and rachie b, but so many others too for enlightening me about mystery shopping. :T :T

I am really enjoying it - and have booked lots of jobs for the near future.:j SInce my OH and I only used to go out once in a blue moon - I have taken some meal / restaurant ones - which gets us out and about but for so much less. I now have both work and a change of scenery. And I really do enjoy it.


A million thanks to you all :T - no doubt you'll get sick of me asking questions when my tax returns due though,:rotfl:

Which MS sites have restaurants on offer - I am registered with Grassroots and the only assignments I get offered are for one bank and one large retail outlet.

Retail Eyes do a lot of pubs/restaurants, and TNS do too.

(I hardly ever do these as it's a bit hard for us to find a babysitter )

you should really try to get registered with as many as possible I think. I'm registered with grass roots, tns, baia, retail eyes( but havent done any for them yet and last but not least retail maxim. tns have had some good restaurant/meal/drinks ones recently.

I would register with gapbuster but well - my pc and gapbuster dont seem to like each other so its inaccessible. WIll try agian when I have a decent isp, hopefully in a week or two

tns you have to do a test type of thing but if you read the manual (online) well you should be able to do it, though it is quite tough. give it a go, I get lots of work from them.

You only get back what you've spent, I'm afraid - so make sure you make the most of your allowance

Been a bit of a slow month for me, only got 2 assignments coming up, one with retail eyes and one with TNS

you need your receipts!!!! - to claim back the money so its only what you actually spend. If its a meal you may spend more than the allowance - but for me it makes it a great excuse to go out and makes it a cheap meal out.
