It used to be really good years ago and I used to get loads of work from them visiting sites, comparing similar sites eg 4 different bank sites and giving my opinions, and also a lot of sites within a shopping portal, including purchases/returns etc. but these days there seem to be far fewer assignments, mainly involving the purchase of mobile phones from high street stores, with anything else getting snapped up very quickly.

You also really do earn your money with very long in depth surveys to complete including a phone call and an e-mail to customer services and quality control is very tight. I've had to resubmit reports because I hadn't always used capital letters and correct grammar in some of my comments.

Having said that, they are very professional, you'll be dealing with blue chip companies and providing you reach the payment threshold (£25 if I remember right) you'll have no problem getting paid.

I've only completed the online assignments so I don't know what is involved in the mystery shopper high street surveys but for the online stuff the format tends to be fairly standard. You have about 10 pages to complete. First is an initial impressions page - how quickly sites load, how obvious it is where to go, what you think of the colour scheme etc. You're then asked more in depth questions about the site, usually requiring you to register and to complete a specific task eg apply/purchase (with or without completing the task) and report your experiences, any errors or problems you come across. You then phone customer services, and send an e-mail and report back on how long it takes you to find the contact details on the site, how quickly you get through, how well the problem is dealt with etc. If you've made a purchase or applied for something, you then report back when the item is received. Finally you give a summary, including whether you'd recommend using the site, and any suggestions you would make.

to get accepted you have to sign a form and send to them, then do a test just review a website basically, then if all ok then accept surveys as they come up.

I am in a queue but havent received any surveys yet to do. Been with them 10 days. Also you get the chance to enter prize draws for answering questions but i dont bother as i wont win. Im interested in earning money. I will stick to the ones that pay me. Thats what i signed up for to earn. Hope that helps.
