    My FF money has always come by cheque, and towards the end of the month after you complete the assignment - Although still outstanding May's one at the moment

    Oh, also, does anyone when FF money should show in your bank? Expecting my first payment from them around now....

    Are the fees high enough to warrant the long reports then, in your opinion?
    Give them a try Sarah, I have done some great work for them but like moi said they require very lengthy reports. So to be honest I will not be taking much more there since time is money. They are a very good company to work for, one of the best but you have to enjoy writting just as much as shopping. To give you an idea a minimum of 2 hours is needed to do the simplest job.

    Can anyone enlighten me re Bare. They have some jobs that say Qualified-Self Assign, but then when I click on them, I'm not qualified and have to apply.

    Seems all very odd and none of the previous jobs I've applied for were successful so I was hoping these would be ok. It sure is a strange site........:)

    They tell you if the jobs are self-assign, but that doesn't mean everyone will qualify for it. Generally you have to have a shopper rating of above 8 so if you haven't completed a job yet you can still apply for it, and it may be assigned to you. Once you have done 1 job you will be able to self-assign these jobs.

    Keep applying and you will get one! It took me ages to get my first one, then since then I have had a few in a short space of time ;)

    How many mystery shops do you guys normally carry out a week?
    I have 16 this week which includes a couple of calls.

    And I would be interested to know how much money other people are making a month?
    I'm just nosey!!!

    Have just managed to get my first mystery shopping flight!

    Remember, if you are looking for MS flights, always so a short haul flight first. If you only apply for long haul flights you will probably be disappointed!

    I aim to make £10 per day. I work full time so it just tops my ISA up. Any more is a bonus. Some days I can make £50 but that would be over a weekend when i try and do a few jobs in an area at once. Some weeks I do none and then other weeks I am eating out 3 or 4 nights and grabbing a few s/w or burgers for lunch. I am lucky and live in London.

    Well done Paul. I am doing one on Saturday. Glasgow to Belfast City. Hoping the weather is nice so I can do a city tour as I have a 7 hour stopover. Are you going somewhere nice?:beer:
