The mystery shopping thread - part 4

Pda/ Blackberry seems a really good idea. I am also think ing of upgrading my printer to a printer/scanner /copier to make me more efficient, although there aren't that many times when it's needed so maybe that wouldn't make sense financially.

Timmne, I live in a rural place in between a few market towns so I have to travel a lot to get my jobs. Can't believe I spent years in Brighton, Dublin and Kent and never knew about mystery shopping!:mad:

Does anyone know if Gfk are in the habit of upping fees when they call you to accept jobs at late notice? There's a couple it's not worth my while to accept but they're due soon so I am expecting a phone call.

Also with Bare, I remember someone else said they seem to wait ages to hear about allocations, have other people got their self-find vehicles agreed yet? Cos I'm still waiting.

Well done all you big earners. Have you all figured out how much is profit? I guess for those who incorporate in into their usual travel it's mainly profit:D

Sinderella with GFK, they do have a budget to offer you extra - I was offered quite a lot a while back, but it was for a phone shop (which I don't do as they've become a little boring for me!).

GFK paid me a lot more than I was expecting - will hold onto it and see what happens

sinderella - i've been paid extra more than once by gfk - so hopefully you will get that call.

Re: the printer - I sold our old one on ebay (thought who would want it) but it sold for £50 and I picked up an Epsom scanner, printer, copier with over 50%off on an online sale so cost me nothing in the end. And works like a dream and makes the whole receipt thing easier.

I've had a PM from Nick at Customer Perspectives Ltd, a mystery shopping company. He's asked for his company to be listed on the OP, which I have done. After speaking to some MSing friends, they've recommended CPL to me so hopefully you'll be interested in joining them, as I have just done!

The OP has had the following inserted:

Customer Perspectives Limited
Allocation of Jobs – By telephone.
Pay Day: 21 days maximum, but usually within 7-10 days.

Thanks!

That's my money!!!!!!

Just tallied everything up and they have paid £419.90 less than I was expecting :eek: All the tickets are on my credit card and the bill gets printed around the 28th month, so I really needed the reimbursements to pay it off.

I'll wait till I get the statement showing online, then I'll have to contact them. They're usually pretty good at sorting things out though.

Timmne

Didn't you get held up by them last time Becles?

After checking, I'm £419.90 up!













Just kidding

Does anyone have an email address for GFK apart from the [EMAIL="ukinfo@gfk.com"]ukinfo@gfk.com[/EMAIL] as this one keeps bouncing back for some reason ?

I applied on the 14th June and not heard anything yet.

Thanks

You only have to apply for the one, as they will automatically expect the return to be completed as well...

I have a question about the BAI flights - when you have applied for these have you applied for both out and inbound flights, or just the outbound? Obviously if you do one you do the other, but as these are listed on the job board separately have you actually applied for both? And doing it whichever way - did you get the job?

Thanks
