I can't do burger jobs any more after being removed from the clients list for 'familiarity' so its impossible for me to reach gold shopper status.

Is that a permanent or temporary thing? Can you do them if you are visiting a different town?

To get petrol jobs I've had to do a damn sight more than complete the test. Eating 2 lots of fast food in one day comes to mind!

Only two - that's lightweight.

I've done three several times, I think I may even have done four once!

I can't do burger shops at all even in another city. Its been over a year since I last did one, I suppose I could email them to ask be added back to the list but without the premiums the jobs really aren't worth it. When you're doing 3 shops at a time you really need the premiums to pay for your gym membership

My limit is 3 in a day, but that's happened a few times... 2 in one time band and then 1 in another. Really can't take more in a day than that, even need some days off after that. :O

Some of mine are drive - thru ones so I don't have to eat them all. Taste them to make sure they're ok.

I wouldn't mind doing more. Problem is, I keep getting stung by the "you were the last shopper" rule.

20 miles away is a city that I drive to sometimes - it's less of a problem there as I can mix up which one I call at - but I don't go there THAT often.

Still, better for my health and same effect on bank balance if I just tough it out until month end then have them beg me!

Btw - My 2nd visit once was drive through - the GYP guy had kept saying "Don't worry - you don't have to eat it all - just taste a bit." Even as he was saying it, I knew I was going to eat it all. I then washed it down with a couple of free pints of lager! Hehe!

I emailed them and got a reply which stated the petrol jobs were another project called audits and that I only completed the mystery shopping test.

Also, if you do audits which are overt, you cannot do the mystery shops as they are covert. This applies to most MS companies such as GFK with their small shops.

Okay, that makes sense. So hopefully once I've built up a good reputation with them I should gain access. Thanks.

I've picked up four petrol jobs and I'm in my third week of being a mystery shopper. I just think they're so popular that they get put on at a certain time and they get snapped up. When those emails come out, people will receive it quicker than others and that may spark forum notifications etc so by the time you log on they may be gone.

One way to test is to search England - West London, there is one available there. If you can see it then you're eligible

..... well it was! its gone now lol

I don't do the GAP petrol audits as I prefer the MS assignments. It may be others have whipped the MS assignments quickly in your area. In my area 4 petrol MS assignments have been on the board for a few days now. I've never done 3 of the burger jobs in a day, the last burger job I did was a few weeks ago. Although they went through a phase of "gold" shoppers I think the petrol is basically FFF unless there are loads of shoppers competing for work in the area.
