Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Two)

comedynamehere

Hi there, I'm new to this so looking for some feedback on which of these companies are better than others. Particularly as I live in Northern Ireland and I don't want to go through the process of registering and carrying out the online tests just to find out no work is available here. And finally, some of the sites ask you to register your bank details right away which I don't feel happy with. I know thats alot of questions, any help would be much appreciated- thanks!

Gap are probably the easiest to start with, build up some confidence with them, then go on to other companies.

Kaznelson - thanks for the heads up but you're not supposed to divulge information on fees or job details, per your agreement with MS companies (gfk included I'm sure)...

Thought I'd let you know - and for any other MSers on this board.

Apologies if this has already been asked elsewhere in the thread ( I did a search but couldn't find anything).

In regards to my expenses (I'm trying to limit the amount of profit I submit to the tax man) does anyone know what the rate is for phone calls? As part of my MS I have had to phone a company but don't know what to charge it at? Also can you charge for internet time? If so how much?

Any help much appreciated

Hi all

I had an email from BARE yesterday asking for an assignment which had to be completed between the 15th and 19th of August 2007!

Anyone else get this?

I have quite a few out of date emails off them recently.

Are Gap quite understanding about changing the dates of shops? I need to change Thurs to Fri?

I try to do this too. On a recent bank job, a certain firm who pay expenses paid 50p for it. May depend if it's a local call - probably only 10p or something or an 0844 or 0870 number?

A question from a green MSer: when do you expect to be paid?
My account shows a drop down box for 25th October, but when I click on it no further information comes up and no money has arrived into my bank account. It is probably a normal thing for them but I am slightly worried as a new payment is due in a couple of weeks and I have not had anything from the first one yet.
I am open to suggestions.

Many thanks for your replies.
