Flickering ember I have only been with them a few month and I have had them 3 or 4 times on my account. Though I have never accepted any.

Scaredy cat have you updated your refined areas? I know a girl up above was going to check hers. They also have had casino jobs in the north east recently, because I saw them. They will let you pick up many jobs. I think I have dozen at the moment.

Tizzy - yes I added a number of different areas when the new thingy came into operation - I added some places I very rarely go to, but thought there was no harm in seeing if anything was available. However, I'm now seeing jobs in other areas but none near to me!

FE - just checked and there are definitely no casinos showing for me - probably cos I'm new, which is fair enough.

Scaredy cat I have only been with Re sincethe middle of August. But its like them all fastest finger on the button and its only a few of them.

Good luck in picking up one on the next wave.

Tizzy, it does not matter how long you've been with them but SC has not done any jobs for RE yet so would not be eligible for casinos til (s)he's done a few. Once you've completed one report successfully, you're able to see and pick up more assignments but til then you're limited to just one, as a probationary period.

That's what I thought - but as I said they haven't had anything local enough to make the fee worthwhile. I could have picked up a chemist job a few weeks back but didn't feel comfortable with the scenario... saying hubby had been suffering with the runs for a fortnight!!!!! :eek:

Cheers FE I thought she had done some for them and just couldn't see anything. I didn't realise she was still on probation.

Hubby having the runs :rotfl: hee hee I haven't see any chemists my way for a while ...... mmmh???

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie mystery shopper who hasn't got the foggiest

I've been accepted by Gapbuster & GFK. Any hints, tips, advice would be really appreciated.

I have never seen RE casino jobs either; I think they're only for super-duper highly scored internally...I have over 600 points but do not have a perfect "secret score", an internal score out of 12. I don't know what mine is but I have lost points lately so can't be a 12. I am in the NW and get to see a fair bit of work, although there's still surprisingly little in Merseyside. The burgers and coffee places are in travel outlets, eg train and coach stations and airports. It may be because you're new that you're not seeing much, but I don't know. Ring RE and ask them; I have no idea what other people are getting in your area. I know you're only allowed to pick 1 assignment at first when you're new, and once you've completed that report, if it's fine, then they let you loose on the place and you can pick as many as you want; I once had 11 active in one go.

I have done a casino. Seen more offered as well. i did one on about my 4th assingment.
may be down to demographics as my OH was not offered it.

Can anyone either tell me on here or if you prefer PM what exactly is a SPi assignment and what it roughly involves?

Thanks in advance :beer:
