Thats good to hear Tgirl! I wish I had done that with the burger jobs :rotfl:

With regards to my bar meal with RE I just logged back on only to find the job awaiting the date to be set and then I get email from RE stating they made mistake with the dates loaded on the system :mad: So I have released the job (with no loss of points ) as its a few weeks later than I wanted!!

I had the same problem, it was a right kerfuffle and I was told someone else got the date I wanted. I wonder if this was for a particular location, feel free to pm me.

I did an account opening shop which was a bargain as I really did need a new account so got paid for it You can usually keep it open unless it states otherwise. I also had a courtesy service call from the bank asking me if I was happy with service which I thought was quite amusing

Thankyou! I do actually want my own account, I'm about to start an evening job this weekend and would like the money to go in there. There definately wasn't anything to say you couldn't keep it.

I've read on here that some of the burger chains know you are coming, do other shops get told they are having a visit?

Anyone else get an email yesterday about confidentiality of clients and posting messages on forum boards revealing their identity? You have to reaffirm that you do not reveal who the companies clients are. Seeing as some of the clues to companies on here are very easy to work out, it might be worth going back and editing some posts if your details/user name/profile can easily be traced back to you.

Some of the recent posts have been far too obvious - I agree that the posters should amend their posts - cryptic clues are just as obvious as saying the shop's name.....

Just wondered who the email was from?

A MS company or from this site itself?

An MS company. Now that I'm on a different computer I can post some of it

"Discussion of questionnaire topics, product ideas or samples with non-household members (includes but not limited to chat rooms, blogs and postings on bulletin boards) is a violation of your confidentiality agreement and will be addressed in accordance with our policies"

BTW I've just cut and paste and not discussed (assuming this is being read by my bosses:D)

I do think that this is a good forum for information about how to deal with MS situations. Sometimes it is hard to try and explain things when you are getting cryptic. Over the last couple of weeks people on this thread have been asking questions about some MS companies and which stores are on their books, and I think that some people forget about the confidentiality issues that surround MSing. Some of the clues that I have read on here are very easy to guess.

Evening folks

I am gonna ask some questions which have probably already been asked on this thread but its 30 pages long and will take me ages to plough through it!

Can you please advise me of the best companies to sign up to? and advise how frequently you people get jobs and roughly how much they pay? (if you're allowed to tell)

I would quite like to go to pubs and restuarants as I use to work in that trade. Do you think that will go in my favour?

Also, do you have to use your own money to buy stuff and they reimburse you or you take it back?

Thanks

Chas

That wasn't from a mystery shopping company.

I started working as a mystery shopper just 8 weeks ago, having been on Incapacity Benefit for many years.

With Working Tax Credit (including supplements because I am disabled and aged over 50) I am somewhat better off than on Incapacity Benefit (plus I can earn more than the £20/week I was limited to on Incapacity Benefit).

I am limited to the amount of walking I can do so, lengthy audits are beyond me and I struggle to cope with going out in cold weather. Also, being single, the 'family' work (such as cinema. bowling, restaurant and holiday shops) are not available to me. I occasionally get 'disabled' shops but these are not common (although generally pay better).

What I really need is to work from home doing telephone surveys. where I can call customers and ask them to answer questions. It may seem a little boring work but it would suit me (and my disability) very well. Does anyone know of mystery shopping companies that offer this type of work?
