They actually pay people to join in a discussion?

I've been a member for about 6 months, been asked for a few discussions (40 to 60.00) per discussion but not fitted the 'criteria', good on you, simmo, hope we get something soon  ;D

I sent the link to my daughter and she's joined.  I think son-in-law is hoping for some beer too.  :)

[starting out]

Another one to join is indiefield.net

They also do market research, some in person at a hotel or whatever and some online or over the phone.

Will look at joining these for my next full time job ;D ;D

I used to do 'real world' mystery shopping as a student & it was certainly lucrative, but my natural skepticism prevents me from joining online sites. (I'd love to hear how you get on Simmo, especially if you get some £££ out of it. ;) ) It seems that the online companies are even more obsessed with their 'employees' home postcode than those using traditional methods. It is almost laughable. I'll explain...

When I was a student I lived in a property I wouldn't have been able to afford to buy, but it was in an area deemed 'upmarket' so I was offered assignments in Harvey Nicks & the local independent department stores. I currently own properties in the same area, but live 10 miles away in the commuter belt... Apparently I never removed myself from the books of the market research company; these days I am (very occasionally) offered jaunts to Tesco & Aldi.  :D It's comical: when I was a skint student I was sent to snoop around stores I wouldn't have been able to afford to frequent on a regular basis, these days I have my own business & I'm asked to visit discount stores. Gotta love demographics. :P

Have fun & tell us about the beer. ;)

I use http://uk.mysurvey.com/ for online surveys, they pay in nectar points, amazon vouchers or capital bonds (gift vouchers).

I used to get free pizzas from Papa Johns with a mystery shopping company, but can't remember the name at the moment.

How do you get to be a member of http://uk.mysurvey.com/ ?

The wife and i are registered with "Retail Eyes" and "grass Roots".
We get quite a few from Retail eyes, although since the recession, the jobs have tailed off somewhat.
Grass Roots has gone really quiet for us lately, all they seem to offer is  a vodaphone mystery shop, which we have done so are not allowed to do for another 3 months (for the same shop ).
We get to mystery shop asda, morrisons, currys, bookies,phone shops, banks (which i don't like doing), lots of chain pubs, etc.
The pay isn't great but  we usually get free meals/beer, or part of our grocery shop done.

I've taken part in one for Ikea in the past. Couldn't believe I got paid (and a pint) to sit around talking rubbish for an hour

I'd like to tell a friend about this (we live in S.B'ham but travel to Sutton Coldfield, f'rinstance, would be no problem for her), but please can you clarify if you must declare your payments as earnings to, for example, the Benefits Office, before I do?

She is in a wheelchair and although so wanting to get a job, is living on benefits atm. Once the Housing Benefit office start readjusting her entitlement for occasional 'work' it takes a lot of hassle to get it reinstated.

Thanks.

Anybody registered with ukmysteryshopperjobs.com ?

They keep sending me emails about how they give a "100% Zero Risk, Money-back Guarantee" for work BUT as they are only an agency, I wonder.

Oh, by the way, they charge £22.95 (reduced from £34.00) for registering with them - a con , me thinks.
