oh ok well in that case it was counterintelligence ( I only "got" the name today - very clever (gosh I am slow).

They got back to me within a few weeks of registering with these 3 assignments. They called me and the people I spoke to on the phone were really really nice.

There are so many Mystery Shopping companies aren't there!!! I wonder how well they pay (not that you can tell me on here ofcourse)??

I got my first payment from Retail Eyes so am pleased. I though mystery shopping was too good to be true!

does anyone know how "forgiving" gapbuster are ?

i did my first assignment for them yesterday ,and i cannot find the bloomin receipt

im always so careful and have never mislaid an assignment receipt before

something tells me gap arent the most forgiving of the MS companies ?

Hi Rachie,

AFAIK it says on the GAP site that if you haven't sumbitted receipts for 3 shops, you'll be taken off the panel - I'm assuming that means that if you lose 1 or 2 it should be okay - am not sure if you'll get paid though?

Thankfully, it hasn't happened to me yet, but I've got a feeling sooner or later it might...

thanks dormouse

ive not had a reply to my email yet !

but ive got another job for them later today,and will be making sure i dont let the receipt outta my sight lol so hopefully that will make up for the disaster on saturday lol

What's the best job people have had so far?

It seems like pizza delivery ones are popular!

Got a free contract mobile phone for a year last year - having to pay again now, though! Apart from that, there are restaurant jobs of course; and this week I'm doing the Lake District flagship store of a well-known kitchen company. Get to put some cash towards Christmas pressies and have a free slap-up lunch in their rather nice café! Trying to find someone to come with me, as (amazingly!) the food spend is more than I could manage by myself!:j

Went to munich ( beer festival :beer: ) in September.

My partner gave me the 'itienary' for our week away. Lo and behold 2 of them were on Retail eyes as assignments - so I bit the bullet and accepted them, much to my partners annoyance :mad: .

Weeks away was fab, and when sober - carried out assignment number one - all went well despite language barrier and partner suddenly turning into James Bond :cool: .

Assignment 2 went even smoother, and have just received the payments from Retail eyes.

Will definitely continue both at home and abroad - and partner has got the bug too.

Did you have to submit the reports from abroad as well or when you got back home?

Unfortunately had to submit them from abroad.

Luckily Germany has many swanky internet cafes - for a reasonable fee, had access to the internet, cappucino and lovely background music.

Managed to access RE site and complete jobs, didn't send off recepits until back in UK - that didn't cause any problems :j .

I'll definitely check RE site before any travels abroad next time.
