Re: Streetspotr, free smartphone app that pays you for doing simple, fun tasks
I just want to leave this here to give props to the Streetspotr team.
As I posted previously I saw the Men's Shaving Products Spot on the App and was eager to get some done as you all know the jobs are few and far between on there. Anyway the Spot listed all the major shopping outlets Tesco, Boots, Sainsburys etc and as I have 4 of the required stores within 1/4 mile or less from me I reserved 4. ;D
So i busied myself visiting all of the stores that morning but when I got home to complete the Spot at home as required 3 of the Spots had disappeared from the App!! I had only the 1st Spot that I had reserved showing.
"Must be a glitch" I said to myself, anyway I completed the Spot and made the optional video which gives you the chance to win £25 if it's chosen as the best one.
So when done, I sat down at the computer to check emails, catch up on here and so on when I saw I had an email from the Streetspotr team which explained that unfortunately they hadn't mentioned that you can only reserve one of the Spots and so the other 3 had been "reallocated"!
Well that explained what had happened to the Spots that had disappeared from my phone. :-\
But wait, there's more!
A follow up email had been sent which apologised for the mix up and because it was their mistake they were going to pay me for the 3 Spots I had done once the one I submitted was approved by the client. Wow! ;D
So that's exactly what happened, a special one off payment of £15 was paid directly into my PayPal account for those 3 spots yesterday! Plus I was paid for the one Spot that I had completed.
A great result and I am very grateful to the Streetspotr Team for honouring the work I did for them and compensating me for their error.
So a big thumbs up to all at Streetspotr! You guys rock!
Thanks.
