If you go to the contact us part of the website and just call the contact number for the client you do have they will help you out - or they did me anyway.

Hi, I've looked at the contact bit andonly get the help lines for the 2 I've already signed up to.
do you have to keep changing your shopping option thingy to get the other possible jobs to be shown?

Well I've finally grabbed the bull by the horns and applied for a BARE flight. Did help that you don't have to pay for the flights this time. Has anyone else applied or done any long haul flight jobs? Are they any good or complicated to do? x

Ellie just avoid flights where geese can go into the engine. LOL. There is someone on the site who has done loads of BARE flights but I cannot remember who.

Let us know how it goes. and good luck.

Hello!

I'm a stay at home mom and my maternity is due to finish soon. I need to make £100 a week to avoid going back to work. Does anyone think this is possible with MS? I am also doing avon which brings about 50 a month currently.

I've signed up to about 8 agencies so far and heard back from 5, 3 of which i can start searching for jobs now.

I'm in the midlands and can't find any local jobs yet. Anyone else from midlands?

Any tips for getting started and actualy making a bit of cash would be great!

Some months you can make quite a bit of money and other months you make a pittance. I wouldn't rely on it as a steady form of income, especially if you are budgeting to get a certain amount each month, it can be very frustrating. Also, a lot of jobs are purely based reimbursements for meals and purchases so the fee is very minimal. For example, last weekend I went to a restaurant and was paid £40 towards our meals but no fee so I didn't earn anything for that; yesterday I went to a chemist and had to spend £5.00 and will get the £5.00 back and also a £5.00 fee. It's all swings and roundabouts. I'm also a stay at home mum but do another little job on the side to help out with cash flow as it really isn't enough money to cover what you would earn on a full time job. Also a lot of jobs where you can earn the good money such as banks dont allow you to take children. I dont know if you have a childminder but it would help.

Ideally I would love a first class return flight to Hong Kong. PICK ME! PICK ME!

That'll be me then

I've done one of the new flights already (they are running a pilot :rolleyes: scheme)
First class to Jamaca. :T
I'm now going First class to EWR in March. :T

I'll post some tips and my thoughts on the pros and cons one here later today.

Blindman did you have to do LOADS of work for Bare before getting chosen for flights? Where's EWR?

EWR= New York, Newark Airport.

I did over 20 flights for BARE, mostly none glamorous ones (Norwich to Aberdeen anyone!). I did get to go to Chicago and Tiblisi (just before the war!).I proved I was reliable and did a good job (9's and 10's). I did last minute flights and was flexible in dates etc.

I've done a few other types of jobs for BARE but nothing on a large scale.

I would love to do flying jobs for BARE but, having only recently joined them, I only have 5 points. Is the only way to get more points to do other assignments for them or are there other ways?
