Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys?

Doesn't that just make you so happy to be a MS, though! I get so unhappy nowadays when I get bad service in a shop and I am NOT MSing - yes, I do write and complain, but miss getting paid for it!

I know what you mean - I'm pleased that the rude slow staff are getting found out! Made me late back to work though but my boss is a sweetie so I got away with it! My favourite is when they are really good though, it's nice to be recognised when you do a good job so it gives me a warm glow! :A

Yes, and I LOVE it when you can give them a reward there and then, as with some circular rolls with a hole in the middle IYKWIM, and see their little faces light up! Had a VERY positive experience yesterday where a tiny girl was doing a brilliant job training a co-worker AND looking after customers - she was so happy to be given her reward!

No I applied and got contract and everything but haven't had work yet. Did it take them long to send you work?

Got work fairly sharpish Rachelja, but then again I'm in Northern Ireland so don't think too many folks are involved! Do you know if these guys sort tax for us or do we need to register as self-emplyed?

I have never quite fathomed React out. They do not pay on a certain date in the month like other companies but seem to make payments more or less on a job by job basis. They seem to do this within a few days of passing our reports but I suspect that sometimes the report passing is delayed until the end of a round which then delays payment for some jobs more than others. They do always pay though and I have found them one of the better companies to work with.

If, in the end, you have to resort to contacting React about your money and you get an explanation for the mysteries of their payment system I would be interested to hear it!
