PIP travel agents on now, I won't post on alerts thread (someone else can if they want) but they are dreadful calls in my opinion for tiny fees. I can see a whole host of problems from them.0

I am doing one of the baked goods MF this week but it's in my work lunch time and 5 mins from my office. A free lunch basically plus a little fee. I know the questions are a bit obvious but I am unlikely to go back there so not too fussed if I get rumbled!0

I grabbed the one two doors down from the posh sandwich job I'm doing for MF on Friday, little effort and a completely free lunch.0

I have just read the brief for that one which is miles away (thankfully) so not tempted in anyway. So basically you have to make a purchase and then ring up and cancel it and then get your money returned back on your card - quite a faff for the fee involved.
These fees are on par with the ESA travel agents and I dont do them either. I noticed that the GR travel agents are not shifting, I keep getting emails for the same shops - most unsual that GR can't shift them. I can't do one of them as I am sure the woman has picked me up a MS as when I did a circuit for RA recently - she made a comment about 'remembering me':)0 -
"Hullo, I have been reading this site and have learned a lot about mystery shopping so think I am ready to start now. "
"These used to be with Secret Service and the reports were appalling as well, repetition, repetition, repetition!"
Quick learner lol!0 -

Just looked, absolute pee take.0 -
Just been into the German supermarket that I haven't seen on MF for a while.
They're highlighting some text on receipts that says you might win something if you complete on online survey. I wonder if they've replaced the mystery shoppers with that?
As an aside - it really is a pain scrolling past the first (long) post in this new forum format. Wonder if it can be copied and pasted into a subsequent page 1 post to save our fingers?0 -
i have only just started doing shops for other MSC other than MF and I was just wondering how many different companies you juggle and do you find it confusing? I am just growing the number of companies I am using but doing it gradually. Have now signed up to 5 but one doesn't seem to have any jobs on offer.
Thanks0 -
What is the most extreme Mileage/Travel payment you have been offered to complete a job the MSC cannot get done..
Mine is a round trip of just over 1000 miles from home to complete 4 (30min) jobs in two days.
Job Fees & Bonus payments not disclosed due to board rules, but its costing the MSC over £450 in Mileage + Hotel & Meal costs covered.
+ they said do you think you can do the same run again next month..
