Mystery Shopping Thread 25 *PLEASE READ THE OP FIRST**PLEASE NO CLIENT NAMES OR FEES

There's a lot left on the board, considering they had to be done today.

Mr._Bigglesworth

Looks like i've hit the 6 per month limit visits for a certain fast food chain. I'm curious as to what would stop me from signing up my wife and doing six visits in her name?

Not that i'm going to, but it did cross my mind whether two mystery shoppers from same address is allowed and whether one could cover / act on behalf of the other?

Hi there - can you edit your post please to remove the client name?

I'm not sure that would work, and it isn't something I would try. They could be checking CCTV to confirm your report and might work out there were two people.

Mr._Bigglesworth

I just had a look at the BARE mystery shops and there are two car mystery shops that are part of a 'circuit' on my doorstep.

Seems a bit more intensive than the fast food mystery shops I've performed to date. Anyone got any experience with these? How difficult and typically how long to complete one

most car visits are never worth the pay in the end.

Is anyone else supposed to be doing any of the React clothes shops today? I've been doing less and less for them recently but I think adding these random extra interactions with next to no notice (and, of course, no extra pay!) is the final straw...

I did one and I was not best pleased as u now need to spend 20 mins in the store too which was not previously stipulated as it was too late to get rid I honoured them but I would think again about doing it 4 next time. i think it just makes you stand out more by asking obvious questions!

The brief States you cannot fill in for another shopper. Also on the odd occasion where there is a query, your description is passed on to the agency. If you value the work, if rumbled both you and the associate will be blocked.

Blimey would be pushed to spend 20 mins in one of these stores. Could spend 10 mins in a changing room reading a book to kill some time...
I am convinced the staff know you are a MS as the scenario where you ask for an item out of the shop window is the give away. Couple of times I feel I have been given the floor show as a result. I only do them when a premium is offered as I dont like the report where you do the 'word diary' - don't pay enough IMHO

When do Gyp pay? Is it at the end of the month for the previous month's work?

Well, they should pay at the end of the month following the month you completed the jobs in, but expect payment to often be up to 10-14 days delayed.
