[OT] Mystery Shopping

[Sessionz]

Looks worth a go. Are the reports submitted via an app?

@mabozza may be interested in this

There is an app you can download but I used my laptop to submit my report, I think you can do either.

It's worth having the website and the app though, as I found a job on the app that wouldn't display on the website on my laptop. Once I'd applied for the job on the app it then showed up on the website for me as well.

Will sign up tomorrow

More and more companies seem to expect you to fill in a survey about your experience instore in the faint hope of offering a gift card? I refuse to do it im sure this is to get everyone to do mystery shopping for them for free?

I've never heard of Mystery shopping companies paying people in vouchers.

Which companies are doing this at the moment?

 

[jane potter]

No I meant that companies are not getting mystery shoppers in and paying them. They are instead asking people to give a report when they shop then offer one person a giftcard.

Hi all, there are over 500 jobs available on the site today, lots of phone call assignments, looks like you can do up to 15 per month.

 

[gavvy]

Ive done quite a bit of work for these. They pay out v quickly usually within 2 weeks of task approval.

 

[Jon]

Is anyone getting a load of emails from Tern at the moment?

Every day they seem to email me about MSing ops they have for me in Leeds.

Some is OK, some is quite well paid and other times it isn't so pretty!

i gave mystery shopping a try last month, - Market force great for pub meals , Two others I tried were Retail Active and ESA, Oh and Tern for sarnie shop jobs. I dont think Ill be doing much more - free pub meals maybe but the shop ones - they just want too extensive a report for the fee they pay you.

Wonder why my keyboard has switched to italics..

Yeah the long reports can be a bit of a kill switch I find with traditional mystery shopping.

Like you, I found MF good for lunchtime food but not a whole lot else. ESA I think I used to mostly do telephone banking jobs with that used to require a small report afterwards and I didn't have to leave the home to do them so I didn't mind!

Have got a good handful of phone tasks available

Can you complete a Tesco Mobile assignment between now and Monday?

If so, earn £30 for a Purchase visit plus 20% extra fee!


These are Purchase Scenario visits - What is the difference between a Non Purchase visit and a Purchase visit?

Many people think that the “Purchase” visits are easier than the "Non Purchase" visits as there is no ‘changing your mind’ – Some people can find that a little awkward! The fee is higher than the “Non Purchase” too , as you will need to buy the phone (approx. £20-£30) before then returning it for a full refund – The return can be done as soon as 20 minutes later and is a really easy process when you explain that you didn’t realise your partner/son/daughter etc has bought you one for your birthday etc! You are also welcome to return the phone to a different Tesco Mobile store at a time to suit you if that’s more convenient.

The reports for these visits really are minimal, and although you are required to pass a credit check, this will be removed from your credit file within approx. 60 days.

So, what locations are available?

Is anyone having trouble logging in to Marketforce? I can't log in (I use Lastpass so I know my details are correct). Tried to reset password, but the email never comes through. No reply from them on email or Twitter. Anyone else having issues?

How strange. I want it sorting as I really fancy a you know what burger and wanted to check if any jobs were on!

Hey all, I'm a newbie here!
I wanted to share my positive experience of mystery shopping though. I originally signed up to Marketforce (originally RetailEyes) 15 years ago and have been carrying out assignments on a regular basis. You aren't going to get rich and usually the reimbursement/fees covered travel and cost of the item but I really enjoy it and it's nice to have a freebie from time to time.

If anybody would like me to refer them, let me know and I will add your email address to my account. I think we both get some extra cash once you complete your first assignment.

Who else has had positive experiences of mystery shopping?

 

[jane potter]

does anyone work for them? They dont get good reviews and is it all fast food?

It's been 5+ years since I've done anything for them but from memory it's not ALL fast food but they do pay quite well compared to market force etc
