    Hi guys

    I have joined ciao and got surveys a lot, although not all followed through to the end because they had enough people like me already answering.

    Anyway - i realised i could do reviews on the site too. It has taken my earnings up to £12.49 but since i started doing the reviews, there hasn't been any surveys - is this normal or is it just a coinsidence that the surveys have quietened down?

    Many thanks

    hi
    i need some advice i went on my first ms it was quite quick but i did find the hardest thing was to remember what i had to ask there was so much !!! any tips or tricks you can share with me ???

    You do get into the rhythm of it, and mostly you have to remember the same things. I still slip up sometimes though (and I have developed a range of strategies so I don't have to go back, like ringing the store and asking what's either side! :p )

    I work for TNS - tried the rest and found they were the company that was my number one preference. I have done so great visits for them and I like the fact that they take care of the tax etc for me.

    Beccles, just seen your avatar - congrats on a beautiful daughter, if I remember rightly and seeing your wedding photo a while ago, you have 2 lovely sons already - ahhhh I've gone all broody now - congrats to you all

    help me please, I am brand new to this site and have been reading about mystery shopping, I am regsitered as disabled and am wheelchair bound, are any of these companies giving out specified tasks to disabled to check facilities, if not, can anyone help pointing me in the right direction as this is an area I would be interested in checking out for the benefit of people like myself, so as to improve what we have and congratulate those who are helping.
    Thank You

    I think Grassroots would cover this area, they might be worth checking out.

    Thanks mine does too it says paid 22/6. I have been paid withthem before so there shouldn't be any probs with the bank details. I seem to remember they took ages paying me last time too. I too will give it a couple more days.

    as bare pay through the bacs system this will take 1 week from when they say they have paid to when it gets to your account.

    hope this helps
  • I contacted TNS about MS jobs and got this reply.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    We have recruiting partners who send a personalised invitation to join our panel. This is the only way you can join in the foreseeable future. It is not possible to request an invitation to be sent to you.

    Can someone send me an invitation then ???

    sure, hopefully someone will, just saying not to expect a quick reply, because this forum is quite strict on MS Company Confidentiality, also that is what people agree to when signing contracts with ms companies.

    If you ask for a company that mystery shops a chemist rather than the name of the shop, thats ok.

    And TBH I havent got a clue who does shop them, I guess some company will do 1 but not sure the other one will get MS's (For a start, there name is a bit false, I was so optimistic... lol)


    And how do we know for instance that employees of companies don't sign up for MS companies to find out what they are being MS'd for. Naming and discussing individual companied invalidates the whole process. I even deny I MS if someone asks me, as happened recently when an acquaintance asked me (dd had said something to her)

    but that is a breach of confidentiality on the employees side, not ours... if we called "Cheapo Kebabs" a "Kebab Shop" there would be no way of identifying "Cheapo Kebabs" from the description, so if an employee of the kebab shop went online, registered, a) they would have to lie about working ofr Cheapo Kebabs (Fraud) and b) Breach confidentiality for misuse of information.
