Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

A_little_stressed!!

any1 here receive a phone call for a mobile shop this morning? Then later receive and E-mail with a higher fee for the other sites you were offered? Do they ever give you the higher fee if it changed within an hour??

Not sure if this is a record, but a mate of mine was rung on Saturday with an urgent job for a chicken place on Sunday (yes, Easter Sunday) and offered a £30 bonus!! Funnily enough he accepted!

Was this for Gap? I did a travel agent job last month. Like you, just got the quote, no card. I put in the comments that no cards were available and it was fine. Received payment this morning!!! :T

Yes it was.

Well we shall see, hopefully it will be ok. I didn't cooment in the questionnaire that there were not any cards available as there wasn't a question relating to it, just one asking whether a printed quote was received. In hindsight I could have put it in the additional comments at the end couldn't I?

You did well to get 4 only 10 mins away. I did a 4 job day but had to go 35 mins away. I too found that there is quite alot to remember! My travel job was not worth it as I was in there an hour! (I wasn't given a card but just swiped one off the desk). Keeps ypu on your toes though and all good practise... :rolleyes:

It was more by lucky coincidence I think and they were for 3 different companies, all came up at different times over a week period.

I do live in a good area for this sort of thing though. I'm in a big town with several other big towns all 10mins drive away in each direction. It's the parking when you get there that's a pain.

I worked out I wasted 1/2 parking and then 1/2 waiting for one of the shops to open as they were short staffed and closed for lunch 5 mins before I got there!

Nice one!

So what's the worst you've been offered?

Mine was an urgent computer shop 120 miles away. I wasn't offered any additional money at first so I explained the distance involved. Then he tried to twist my arm with an extra £5, and seemed shocked that I wouldn't accept?

It would have taken about 5 hours for the round trip, plus 240 miles worth of petrol to earn £10 :eek:

I thorght we were not suppose to talk about fee's.
On the same kind of topic, how do you go about asking for more money for urgent jobs - do you just say I want a premium or do they offer it. I had a call once for an urgent job & was not even offered a bonus.

I agree with the people about the office. I once used to spend sometime here but I have not come back to a whole host of things one of them is the discussion of fees. I find it disgraceful that some people are here discussing fees. This disucssion is not allowed there. One of the other things I like is that you can have discussion on a wide range of issues and you don't have to become nasty.

I do join in here but not with mystery shopping threads.

I thought I would come here and see what the discussion was about here.

Repeating my previous post slightly, is there any chance of getting the fee put up after you have already accepted the job? The fee for the job I accepted over the phone went up within an hour??

Have you asked them? (Nicely of course!!)

They can only say no and I can't imagine they are just going to offer. Don't ask don't get! (Sometimes you ask and still don't get, but worth a go!)
