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

I don't know about the email response, but my interpretation of the brief is ....I order the initial savoury item, wait to see if I'm offered an up sell, then order my other items up to the value of the reimbursement or above if I want to pay the extra myself.

I wouldn't do the assignment if I couldn't claim goods to the full reimbursement value plus the fee, it just wouldn't be worth my time.

Asking again, sorry, as I think I may have got lost in an ongoing conversation.

Anyone know about the ID requirements and bank account formats when signing up for gapbuster. Those seem to be the only topics not covered by the sites numerous FAQs. tia.

I don't recall having to send any ID. You typically only need your bank account/ sort code information. I signed up a number of years ago, though.

That's how I read it too. I did one yesterday but it's still pending for payment so watch this space ...

Has anyone else seen the 'trendy burger place in Central London' on MF? Ridiculous number of observations required IMO, even for the relatively high fee.

The pastry lunch visit do we still buy one item even if offered extras such as meal deal?

I did one in February and was given the full reimbursement quoted. I spent slightly more than this.

Up-date - paid to the limit, again, following shop carried out, yesterday.

I am always so nervous to try mystery shopping, are you sure these websites are secure?

It's just that the profile only has a single gap for the bank details, not a space for sort code and a space for account number.

How long does verification take? It says "No more than one working day" but it's been slightly longer?

You need to ask your bank for your IBAN number as GAP are an overseas company.

Yes, they are not just in Central London. The observations are fine, you have enough time to make them and the report is easy.

If you can't manage on of these then you'd struggle working for some other companies.
