Mystery shopping thread 26 *please read the op first**please no client names or fees

tibawo

I note on here that people have had problems with Gap with payments. This is the second month that they are saying my bank has rejected payment. Account details never changed and I have checked them. I have tried emailing them but they don't do anything but mark the enquiry as resolved.

Just wondering if anyone else has been through this and how they got it sorted?

I see MF have acquired a new client - a major mobile phone network! Decent fee for the amount of work. It isn't one of the networks that GfK (Bubbles) or GR (Bacon) have.

It is not a decent fee.

I think it's reasonable. Bear in mind I do have a techie background so I love doing phone shops, tech stores and similar retailers, so it's easy for me to relay back exactly what was said. Thankfully it's a lot shorter than the phone shop reports with TNS. I hated doing those for the standard fee. When a visit was urgent I couldn't say no to them, though.

The fee is terrible, you'll still spend half an hour in the shop with the same patter.

Just noticed other posters (Markxx- Big Graeme - Somerset) talk about the weeks holiday in Spain through MF.
I have a few questions as I have been a MSer with MF for over a year and a half and have never seen this.

1. Did you have to include the closest airports to you in your ''Defined areas''
2. Under which ''Job Type'' does this appear ? e.g. airports, retail, food, hotel, restaurant, misc.
3. How often does these international holidays appear?

I have also read in other forums, MSers manage to snap a holiday every year.
One persons done 3 over 3 years.

What am I doing wrong that I cannot see these jobs.

Look forward to your responses.

Made No difference to me, I got offered Leeds and Manchester and I live in Glasgow.

Always listed in the Jobs in other areas list.

Twice sometimes three times a year.

Nothing, they go within minutes of going on the board, you just have to be lucky.

I've seen 3 pop up since 2013 and the 1st was just as it got posted and went by the time I'd read the brief, the 3rd I got lucky with thanks to super fast 4g letting me apply and grabbing it. Timing is crucial

Thanks Graeme for the quick reply.

Your second reply.... ''Always listed in the Jobs in other areas list.''
I have been looking for the ''other areas'' list and cannot seem to find it anywhere.
I have 2 Active 44 Available and 0 Filtered.
Where is the other areas list.

BTW, did MF contact you about these jobs? You did say, you were offered these.
