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

Chollita

I'm a wannabe, not a newbie, out here in sunny Spain (well not very, at the moment :rotfl: ), I'm looking for any way of earning a few quid/euros, so MS looks like a possibility. I know there are companies operating here.

Hopefully someone can answer a couple of questions for me: has anyone heard of/worked for a company called AQ Services International? Secondly, is it usual for a MS company to ask for your bank account no when you register?

I'm laughing at the pub jobs on RE which state:

What you must order: Larger, Real Ale or Wine. At least 1 main course from the main menu.

I've just had to book a restaurant table for one (no guests permitted), for an 11am lunch for two weeks' hence. There was a deathly silence from the server at the end of the phone. He couidn't quite believe it either. I reckon I should get good service...

With regard to the suggestion of putting locations on the alerts -- I've added my location in my profile info so people can see where I'm based when I post, for this reason xx

I can't believe you're going ahead with it! I wouldn't have the nerve; it's just too embarrassing to know that they know what you're doing! Even worse when they know that you know they know!

I'm getting reaaly sick of GAP, i've had a pizza job booked for today for weeks, it was a lunchtime job, anyhow they have changed the time (and the fee) and its now an evening visit which I can't do. They've also cancelled another job on me (which I have completed) because their online questionnaire was wrong and i couldnt' upload my results, which I emailed to tell them, idiots!!

With the GAP pizza job, I've got a deal eveytime and got paid
I did it accidently the first time, got paid, so have done it ever since. The one where you get an extra starter! It comes to £12.95ish? So not far over reimbursement! Don't do them anymore as didn't receive the right order last time & they were REALLY rude! I got V. stressed!

This is the problem with GAP, you can go along swimmingly with them for ages and then when they pish you off, they do it properly!

They threatened to not pay me for a job a couple of weeks ago as the things I said which were to the left and right were wrong (which they weren't, it's in the middle of nowhere with one thing either side!). I wrote back and told them if they don't pay me I'll go down the legal route to recover the fee.

....And then I remembered I have £30 worth of coffee job kit from them which I'll happily sell to get my money back

Can I join in the GAP bashing?

Have done a few jobs for them, no probs at all.

Did a big pile of them over the past 2 days.

They changed the days on 1 job, didn't notice this until I printed off my paperwork the night before, so still did the job anyway as it was still allocated on the day I'd selected. Now I can't put the details in as it's "invalid"

Another job from this lot, I get an email asking me to explain my no answers from questions like "Did they smile?" What can you say? their lips were downturned? Their face was not presenting a gesture of happiness? Come on! They just didn't smile!

I have to say, I'm quite pleased with Gap lately

Getting LOTS of work from them, and after I contacted them about why I wasn't getting stamp jobs appear (I had answered one of the screening questions incorrectly) they re-set it for me, and someone even phoned me the following Sunday afternoon to offer me Stamp jobs in my area before they were put on the site for general release!

I've also been getting prompt responses to my emails as well

Maybe I'm now the only shopper in this area and they are trying to keep me sweet???????

I got one of those too! Bizarre - I emailed back to ask what more they wanted?! Questions like 'Did they offer...?' no, they didn't - what more is there to explain?!
