Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

GFK NOP (google it) are fantastic, been doing odd jobs for them for the last 3 years ...

Pay is 2 weekly, and costs vary, they also reimburse parking and allow 23p per mile petrol !!

About applying to different companies... You know how they sometimes ask if you're working for any other MS companies - what are you supposed to say?

I can't make up my mind: they might want you to say 'yes', and then they'll know that you know what you're doing as you've done it before, or do they want you to say 'no', just in case you've already done the same assignments?

Does anyone know?

I work for 4 companies now, and ive always put which other companies ive worked for on the application, and ive not been refused yet, so i think you are safe to put yes.

What is the pay for this sort of thing?

WELSH-DRAGON_2

It is against the terms and conditions of some of the companies to discuss and publish on open forums the pay rates.

Oh okay, I just meant is like fee based or by the hour?

WELSH-DRAGON_2

When the job is shown on the website it also shows the fee payable. Mine are not by the hour - some pay mileage some do not.
