    Hi

    Does anyone MS for a trade/public diy company please? How do you interpret this rule?

    "You cannot shop the same site again this month, if you have shopped the same site in the last 2 month (s)"

    Does it mean you can shop in Feb and March, but not April?
    Or
    Does it mean if you shopped in Feb, you can't shop again until April?

    I have messaged the company, but no reply yet and these are a quick and easy MS for me to do
    Thanks.

    Basically you can't shop this month March if you've visited in Feb or Jan. Once every three months.

    I did, but purely because my mate wanted the phone for his kid. Got a nice premium and he got the discount. I get the feeling no one normally does them and I felt like I was walking in with the scenario and saying "good morning, I'm your mystery shopper".

    Surely you would only pick these up, onlyif you wanted to take out a contract with them in the first place and you had a reason? I can't see how you would do multiple visits as they involve taking out a contract. I do note however that they do shift so somebody is doing the jobs.

    I guess if you shop there anyway it's not too bad. The report is easy. Food shopping is one of the things I will consider reimbursement only jobs for. I've done a couple but TBH it's not my supermarket of choice. Much prefer the orange ones!
  • Oh, just noticed I have finally been paid by GAP for January work.

    Just took 4 camping ones on , happy days we were wondering where to tootle off to in the motorhome this year :D

    It depends on the shopper and the work involved with the shop, I'll do some low fee visits because it either buys me lunch or dinner that others won't touch.

    Have a look at the alert thread and apply to the frequently mentioned companies, then start with the rest. There are lots of niche companies around with some decent jobs.
