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

learning_to_drive

LOL Gap have temp banned my account until I ring them to explain why I put the phone down on them 3 times (once because I was driving) the other two times because I awaiting urgent news on jobs etc.

I dont understand why they ring so frequently to offer assignments, my argument is that they have an online booking system for that very reason, and they offered me jobs that were miles away half the time.

I just applied for TNS as they sort your tax out,they sent me a test to fill out which took me ages. As i was reading through the rules etc it says they can ring you at all different times, now i regret joining as i dont want them ringing me all the time.

do any TNS members have people ringing them all the time?

They do ring on mobile/home phone usually queries but all have been very friendly and helpful,Really not intrusive and they usually leave a message and i get back to them when i can on phone or via email.Been with them 3 months and been phoned about 5 times. Really lovely company to work for.

Just had an interesting call from The Gap. They were wanting me to do a greasy burger breakfast assignment and rather than offering me a premium payment i have been offered an extra petrol assignment - think that works out better than £2 extra they usually offer.

Just in time for needing my car filled anyway :j

TNS call you at all times of the day? I have never had any calls off them. I've done a fair few visits for them. If I ever have any problems with visits etc, I call my lovely regional controller. She sorts everything out for me. Bless her soul.Oh and has anyone done any visits for Amber Arch? Are they a good company to work for?

I have done over 20 jobs for them in the past couple of months and never a single call. I wouldn't worry about that.
Once they send you a password and log in ID, you just need to check their job board regularly and book what you like.

Aha!!! They must be keeping some of these a secret then! I wonder if they do the same with the toy shops and the green supermarket jobs? or do they just get picked in the early hours of the morning!!!

Hi, does anybody work (on the inside) for a mystery shopping company?

I just wondered what checks they do to make sure a mystery shopper actually did carry out their assignment? I was thinking that anybody could pretend to do a "job" and then get paid for making it up!
