An email was sent out to some peeps a couple of months go, to advise they were closing down their MS operations. I believe the only client they had left was an auto client. Their stamp shop jobs seem to have gone to MSL as well as the careers call.
Oh that's a shame, I really liked them. Oh well best go job hunting elsewhere then!£10 a day challenge £349.01/£3650

It is a real shame to hear about TNS. Really good people to work for despite having to endure the evils of Sassie. I do wonder which MS company the phone shop has gone to though. Someone told me that they've seen them pop up on GfK - and I've seen them there too, but I know those jobs aren't actually for the phone shop, but in fact for the bubbles mobile network.
I've always also wondered who the Red network uses, or if they even do use mystery shopping. I know Bacon uses GR, bubbles uses GfK and purple puppet uses MF.0 -
Has anyone received their early month MF payment?
Also, did anyone do the betting site beta testing this weekend? I think I may have increased the share of the fee if I can withdraw my winnings!0 -

Does anyone know who their monthly car shops went to. These were stopped about last year at this time, but the client was actually TNS themselves.

Still haven't received my MF payment for the 10th.
I really do hate how long it takes MF payments to clear. Every other mystery shopping company pays me dead on the date they say they will pay me. GfK for example nearly always pays me on the 10th and 25th - the days they say they pay out. Sometimes earlier if the dates fall on a Sunday or Monday!
Presumably MF uses a primitive system to send out their payments, probably similar to the way cheques are cleared. I don't know why they haven't adopted a better system like all the others where payments clear the very same day they are sent. It drives me mad.0 -

Theer is no point in getting mad about it - just expect it later than they say as it is the same every month!0 -

They also explicitly say that payments are made 5 days before the 15th or the last day of the month in order for time to clear. ie, expect payments on the 15th or the last day, not before.0
