  • Hi
    I am new on here, seems you all know the ropes regarding Mystery Shopping. Are you able to point me the direction of the higher paying companies, as some seem to pay such low fees.

    I have completed assignments for Insight Market Research and there fees are always in double figures with short reports which is great, but the others I am registered with offer very small fees and expect such long detailed reports. I have started mystery shopping to supplement my income and am not expecting to become rich from it, but £3 for a visit plus a long report seems ridiculous, I can't believe some of the companies get anyone to even complete these visits.
    Thank you in advance

    did a ms today, young lad serving think it was his first day.
    I gave him £20 but he rung in £2 so it showed £3.20 owing other mos came and showed him how to do £20 so it looks like I gave him £22 and I was given £2 extra change, never realised till now feel sorry for the young fella.

    Anyone think that MF's 3 photos for proof of purchase is ridiculous? Took photo of receipt, photo of purchase, didn't take photo of shop as thought photo of purchase replaced shop front. Proof reader pinged it back saying they can't use it. My mistake for not reading briefing, all 5 pages. Take my goods back for a refund? :mad:

    My work has dried up a bit. I expect it is winding down for christmas. Ironic because I have more free time.

    Plenty of quick and easy merchandising work on IMS.

    Or tell them you'll go back and grab a store front shot later?
  • I have had a good day, I have decided to sack MF, RA, GYP and Bare, I also had the pleasure of telling RA to their face that I have sacked them, funny, I feel strangely liberated.

    I prefer the annoyance premium I charge certain companies. ;)

    ETA MF money in tomorrow.
