Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

Thanks Rachie and Pink

I may have given you the false impression that I actually know what I'm doing with this stuff!! I've never done a foodie one before - so will be sure to keep my receipts. I think I've got confused between drink ones (which are for one person only it seems - and don't need a receipt.

So Rachie B are you able to claim the full £20 even if you submit a receipt that sayts e.g 15.43?

Thanks again

Hi Smog - I'm not Rachie B(sorry), but no, I'm almost certain you can only claim what you spent; otherwise it's classed as income and would need to be taxed. As TNS is a PAYE company they'd need to pay the tax for you and they won't do that on expenses.

they have always paid me the full amount even if ive submitted a receipt stating different

im sure someone else owned up to doing this too ???

they pay me so it must be "ok" ? lol

i HAVE JUST REGISTERED WITH RETAIL MAXIM not sure why I haven't before - what sort of jobs do they do and do they come back to you quickly?

I've been registered with them since August and haven't had a single job offer.

But if you've just registered, I think you'll get an email in a couple of days asking to email them a photo!

Retail Maxim offer me about 1 job a year. They have no website to look for jobs and you have to rely on them to ring you. Not really worth the hassel with them, I think.

,ve Got My First Ms Tommoro A Bank For Gr Any Hints Or Advice Most Welcome Also Got 2 Similar Planned For Next Week Ta

sorry its abit of a late reply - but I have found these ones to be really great to start with. Just keep your eyes open, make mental notes of names of those who served you and what they look like. THe forma are easy to do online, not as colplicated as the ones you can print out! make a note of the shops/biuildings on both sides!!!!!! becasue they will ask, and follow the instructions to the letter.

hope you had a good day, let us know how you got on
