you got it in one. lol some jobs rea not worth doing unless you are in the area anyway, and it is not getting any better.. and dont forget you can spend maybe an hour submitting the report and sometimes it repeats the questions and wont let you submit so you have to over ride it photgraph reciept and send them. it not what you call easy money you need you wits about you. I forget theres the paper and ink from the printing

I refuse to do the pizza jobs unless there is a premium fee on them. Previously they were with another ms company who paid a fee for them, but Gap just give you a reimbursement. Considering that you have go to the place, go back home, write and submit the report along with the receipt it really is not worth it.

I find it unacceptable to work for food only, and if all mystery shoppers agreed on this then the companies would realize that they have to pay us for it as well.

With jobs such as hotels, airlines etc it can be worth it cause it's such a big freebie, but for some greasy fast food? Seriously?

There's a wine bar visit for one, hanging around in my area on RE that's for a chicken salad to be washed down with a pint of ale followed by a coffee. I can see why that one isn't proving too popular.

By the way, am I allowed to ask for a pm for which company shops the Red French-style Cafe chain? If not, let me know and I'll edit it out.

I've put this on the alert thread as well, but just thought I'd share with others that the stamp shops have appeared on RE. Can't remember who said that they swap round after financial year end quite often - but they were obviously right! Don't know what time they went on and only 3 showing anywhere near, but glad to see they've re-surfaced! :j

Reckon that must be a big part of the thousands of jobs about to go online email that we got from RE earlier this week.

Auntypog - pls let me know too, if anyone PMs you about the French, red, cafe - I like those ones too!

TIA

No stamps ones showing on mine, do you know if you have to be a certain score to get them? Ive been with them 4 years and never seen some of the ones that are on the alerts thread, even if i check at the same time. I know some go very quick so maybe thats why?

Nothing showing for me either.....

Not sure - there's only 3 showing for me. If you look in Sheffield does it come up - there's one showing there for me? My score is only about 20 or something as only done a few jobs for them.

If it's the cafe I'm thinking you're on about (who used to be with TNS), they're now with RE

Try searching for your local town, a lot of jobs don't show in my available list but do when I search (including stamps & burgers)

Just thought I'd say (not meant to sound patronising BTW!) that it's great to see some newbies to this thread - including people who are already mystery shoppers! Good to expand the knowledge base

Nothing stamp-wise comes up for me doing that either, but I can see one in Sheffield, so I'll just wait for them to turn up in my area.
