I received an email this morning from Streetspotr which talks about 'instant spots'.

Hello N,

We wanted to let you know that there are thousands of new ’Instant Spots’ live in the app since yesterday.

To conduct one, simply activate the Instant Spot Alerts, be found by one of those Spots during your everyday shopping, follow the message on your phone to conduct our short survey, and receive your reward!

Here’s how you can activate the Instant Spot Alerts if you have an iPhone or if you have an Android phone.

If you have questions about the Instant Spot Alerts, simply email us.

Cheers,

Your Streetspotr Team

So.. these are basically hidden spots that may or may not popup after shopping at a particular place. They're surveys but hidden on the map. The setup instructions advise to set location to 'always' which is a defo battery drainer on iPhone.. I don't know about Android but suspect the same. I'm just wondering if anyone has come across any of these instant spots? It would be nice to know which stores have the surveys. I'll be going to my local high street today. If I spot any, I'll post back. They're most likely to be in the centre though tbh.

I've had the same email and I've checked this morning and there are 44 nearby to me. Most of them are over 50 miles away but there are 2 which are fairly close.

I don't set the location to always on as you said it drains your battery.

I've not had the email. :(

I did a feminine hygiene visit on Monday and then the same visit in two different stores today for a lesser fee. Does the fee go down after a couple of days?

I managed to find one of those hidden tasks in Streetspotr. They appear to be in supermarkets and drugstores. One popped up on my phone for Boots. I didn't complete as the message popped up after I had left and I didn't want to go back. Maybe worth hanging about a bit if you shop at one of those. It's seems you can earn 100 streetpoints and progress onto a paid task.

I tried to do one of the Tesco kitchen roll ones but the instore wifi wouldn't work and I had no mobile signal.
Couldn't you get a signal outside the store? you only really need to be online to prove that your actually there, You can still do the task offline, then upload it when you have signal

I greatly dislike providing data or information for 'points'. If you want me to give you something, then I want something back. I'm in the apps market for money, not to be top of a league table.

I've had this app for a while, but haven't made any money yet. I often get notifications about jobs 'near to me' but when I open the app, they are like 60+ miles away, not worth it for a £4 job.

Hopefully I will strike lucky soon as other similar apps seem to offer more jobs in my area.

Anyone done any of the Lucozade tasks in pubs? How long do they take? Are you required to stay in the pub for long?

Got a couple really near by but they've been there for ages and worried there's a reason they've not been snapped up!

Perhaps you can answer [member=2821]mabozza[/member]

Thanks all

I have done 3 of the instant spots for StreetSpotr. Basically it asks you why you're in the pharmacy or supermarket - I have just been ticking all of the options - then it says something like 'oh you're buying shampoo?' And you get £7.50 plus reimbursement of the product price for answering a couple of questions about it. I went to get a prescription and completed the task before the prescription was ready. I have done 3 of these and they have all been £7.50 plus refund of price of the product you bought for it. I actually think they're the easiest money I've earned from one of these apps ;D

Update: I did a mystery shopper spot where you buy a lucozade, except the pub didn't have lucozade so ordered different drink, then they said there was no receipt facility. I was thinking I wouldn't get anything for it, but explained in the comments and submitted the job anyway, and got my £7.50 for the spot plus refund on the price of the drink :D

Hi, does anyone know if Streetspotr has many spots in London - I checked the map out and it seems all to be in other UK towns?
