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

Why pay for information that you can find free on the net?

Never pay for information when you can get it free on the net with a quick search.

Is anyone else PML (PTL? ) at the gym jobs which are sitting around on one of the sites totally unclaimed?

I did one of these a couple of months ago and decided it was complete exploitation for the £30 fee (for a minimum of 4 visits). This time they have reduced the fee to....wait for it......£0.

Things on this site normally disappear within minutes. I simply can't imagine why their normally enthusiastic MS band haven't snapped them up!:rotfl:

What's PML? Is this a company I'm not registered with??!!

PML is an internet/text abbreviation. The second and third words are 'myself laughing'. Quite a good name for a MS company, actually, the rates some of them pay!

Timmne

Oh.... oops!!

The gym jobs never have been particularly well paying, as you say...

It really annoys me how companies think that you're grateful of a free trip to a gym when you have to have hawk eyes all the time you're there, remember and time everything and then spend 90 minutes filling in a report!

At least the restaurant jobs pay you a fiver in recognition of the fact that it's not as easy as just going out for a meal!

Yep that's why I think it's a bad idea to post on here telling other people jobs are in my area , but people do that! Or even if they say the X jobs are on Y website it does not really help.

But surely this wasy it helps everyone, if you didnt see X on Y now and Z jobs available, would you have visited the site to check at that time???

Doubt it.....

There are a few sites set up that send notifications out when work is available, I have set one of these up so if you want to take advantage and get the email most people do when work is available, just register on that forum and everytime someone posts, you will get an email

Link is in my profile so it does not breach any rules

is anyone here doing the "Re-labeling" jobs for a large supermarket?

I cant believe it, I didnt understand it at first, rather than puting a sticker over the boxes, I remerchandised all the shelfs to plan and then put a sticker over them... so it took me 4 times the length of time it should have... typical... lol

My question is, has anyone been to a store that has the stock required or knows what you are doing, all stores I have been to dont know what I am doing and didnt know I was going, but this is in the breifing notes that they arrange with the store the date... ?

Q1. I don't understand this - do you mean that you earn in total less than your tax code allowance?

Q2. See previous postings - you don't have a choice about registering with the IR. Don't you think your MS companies are likely to provide a list of workers to the IR? (And don't you suspect that the IR might have an interest in checking out people who currently pay no tax? )

Sorry for the bad news..........

Thanks for reply jobbie

Yes i earn less in total than my tax code allowance. will mystrery shopping have any effect on my tax code for the my main job? Cos if it will, then i guess there is no use of doin it if i have to pay tax in my main job as well If i do mystery shopping.

I hope you understand what i am trying to ask. I am new in UK, In hong kong it was lot easy to sort out taxes, I am just confussed.:rolleyes:

Well had a chat with them and its still £30.00 for all phases completed. They said it would show up in the third phase. But guess it still too much work for 30 and taking into account where you would be in the 2nd month. (my all plans do occur last min)
