    Hi please don't give me a roasting! I am now just sitting down to start my tax return - could kick myself for not starting in sooner :( it looks like I need to purchase a software in order to do this. What ones are others using?

    Dear All

    What company would you recommend to start as a Mystery Shopper?

    I'm looking to start small, just looking for a little bit of pocket money whilst home with my little one.

    Many Thanks

    Difficult to answer as depends where you are in the country.
    I would suggest you read the information at the beginning of the thread as that will give you an idea of what companies are out there.
    MS ers favour different companies depending on what they want. Just be aware the rates for MSing are very low unless you are doing Audio.
    GAP who do fast food are popular as a starting point.

    What are MSer's experiences with Coyle? I live in London and have signed up, but want to get some reviews before shelling out £200 or so.

    I am following any replies :) Interested in Coyle too, I am based in the Artic climes of Scotland.

    I started the sign up a week ago, but I do so wish these companies would warn you in advance when you need to write an essay response to some of the questions. I didn't have enough time so had to give up at that point until I can find a spare hour or so (which is not often).

    What is the £200 for as I obviously did not get as far as that?

    Well, for example, I wouldn't want to accept one of the jobs that require a meal in Canary Wharf followed by drinks without being confident that I will be reimbursed. They state how much they will reimburse up to, but I have read that if your responses are not good enough then you won't be reimbursed or paid. That's my current worry!
