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

Helion do lots of car and van assignments all over the country. Some involve one visit while others are 2 visit type jobs. The disadvantage in working for Helion is that they pay in Euros so you will probably find that your bank takes a cut to convert your earnings into sterling.

Hi all,
I have been reading this thread with great interest for a while. Everyone seems so helpful and friendly! I would be ever so grateful if someone could help me.
I have been a member of edigital research for a while. Evaluating internet shopping websites is perfect for me, as I have multiple health issues that make it difficult for me to venture out frequently, much less whizz around town like something out of mission impossible! (However, seriously, that doesn't me I don't want to, I've done it few times and to say I was excited would be the understatement of the decade!) My question is, does anyone know of any other mystery shopping websites that offer internet shopping opportunities, or things like telephoning etc. I've signed up to ESA, MSL and GFK, but such opportunities are thin on the ground. I do sometimes manage MS in the ordinary manner, but not enough make more than about £10.
I would be ever so grateful if anyone replies, everyone seems so kind. Thanking you so much in advance, (do I seem over enthusiastic to you?),
Mxmas. xxx.

I joined Grassroots in 2011 and enjoyed doing stuff for them. Their list of available tasks seemed to get less varied and now all is see are the bum slapping supermarket. I then check my history to discover these now pay half the rate they did 5 years ago! So it's time to pull the plug - sorry GR, but you'll struggle to get folk to have any loyalty in undertaking tasks.

They are no different to all the other MS, few appear to appreciate loyalty or even good work.
There are very few jobs that give fair remuneration for the work required. I find I am doing less and less.

Loads on MF

Mr.E.Schoppa

The German supermarket with a name that sounds like a synonym of 'small' is back, however they're no longer on MF.

HS Brands is where their jobs are currently residing.

is it just me or does the bit I've underlined read wrong?
Unexpected questions that helped you narrow down your needs? (required)

"What additional things will you be adding to make this trip very special?"

Agree Glamour. I also hate it when you are told to buy certain items such as footwear and then told you can't buy things in the sale etc, how cheeky when the reimbursement does not cover your spend. MF are you listening plus the reimbursements and fees are not rising with inflation.

MysteryMe

If I am not mistaken the GR slapper jobs are not the same scenario as before and quite a simple task. There is a small reimbursement as well as the fee. OK if you are in the area. I see mainly mobile phone jobs with them now and I avoid those assignments like the plague from all MSC

MysteryMe

The thing to remember is that there is no minimum wage as an independent contractor. Everyone has to decide for themselves what works for them financially. I now do a handful of assignments for MF a year as the fees are just too low for me however I would not criticise them for offering 30p a mile when the majority of MSC offer 0p per mile.
