    Is anyone else with Frontlinefocus. I have been doing jobs since early April including the daft pizza job with the stupid pizza pictures. The website used to have a bit called Dial Up data where along the top there was a revolving bar giving pay dates.

    So it said jobs done March paid at end of May, jobs done April paid end of May. They owe me a lot as I have done loads of credit card sign ups, plus the cost of the rubbish pizza and various other reimbursements.

    I have been paid zero, zilch, de nada so last night I emailed them about A) you can't access the home page with pay dates and B) I would be so grateful if you actually paid me the money. I quite like to eat food now & again but never mind when my electricity, council tax bills comes in I will just forward them to you. When I go fill up with petrol I will just self serve and tell them to send you the bill.

    Even went to Glasgow airport on Saturday to find the airport filled with gun toting police!!! Turns out it was the anniversary of the airport terrorist attack so they looked like they were gonna just shoot you dead and ask questions afterwards.

    I asked about the payment (non) when I emailed and got a reply saying the site is under construction and not a mention of why I have not been paid.

    Sorry for the rant but I am not doing this for charity. And why the heck should I have to phone them at a London long distance number at peak charges because it is morning.

    Sorry for the rant but I am usually a happy wee soul but I am furious about this. Yet another example of us being treated like performing monkeys in a zoo who have had a lobotomy done.:mad::eek::mad::rotfl:

    Now you will all think I belong in an asylum.

    Not at all Hollypear!! Having met you I have never laughed so much for ages!
    My husband keeps asking me what we find to talk about on the phone for nearly two hours!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I tell him we are discussing Mystery Shopping - that it's a serious business!
    You definitely get hooked on it, like many people have mentioned.

    Hope you get your pay sorted out.
    ;)

    Hollypear,

    That's rubbish they haven't replied. I knwo their website is down at the moment but I would persevere with calling them.

    They have been quite good everytime I have spoken to them so hopefully they will help you out.

    Good luck!

    RE card shop jobs, the ones which we offered last week for Fathers Day and promised a "bonus" for completing before 7pm, has anyone else had this bonus added to their payments? Mine has gone into payments pending but has no bonus in there?

    No, my bonus not showing either...

    am I right in thinking that the bonus was £5, I have 2.50 then another 2.50 fee showing in my account as of this morning?

    I have just done my first MS assignment (GAP Burger one). It was quite exciting!

    I have a question though. I submitted the questionnaire and got an automated email advising it has been received. Roughly how long will it be until I find out if it is accepted?

  • Ooh - I have just registered with GfK. For the last 2 months they have not been recruiting in my area but they are now. If anyone else had experienced this I would suggest going back and checking again :cool2:

    Great, thanks for the tip! I have also been waiting for them to start recruiting in my area.

    You don't!:rotfl:

    You'll hear if there is a problem though.
