I've done a stamps job today and keep getting contradictory errors on the MS website. I've tried swapping my answers around and it wont let me do anything. Can someone help?

It's because they have the same questionnaire for so many different scenarios. For instance there are several 'offered cash withdrawals' tickbox options and only one will apply to your scenario but they don't tell you which one:rolleyes: It is just a matter of trial and error. Try each option in turn and it should accept it eventually:D

Has anyone accepted a catalogue shop job yet? I notice the fee has gone down and I just wondered if it's because there is less to do this month

Im very new to ms and did one last week for a well known company. I had to take out a loan which was never actually supposed to go into my account. It has however and now there asking me to send them a cheque back for this money which they will send back to my bank. Is this a scam? Has anyone else had this? Can I not just cancel a loan or does the 14 days cooling off period not apply to banks? Any help much appreciated as Im getting worried about the whole thing. I was sent an email originally but I have completed the form on their website.

Be warned with the posh department store jobs where the "incentive" is £10. They have now changed the minumum spend to £25.00 so you're going to be £15 out of pocket but if you were going to make a purchase there anyway in that particular department I suppose it is worth it but don't look at it as a freebie!

I haven't done one of these jobs, but if it's Gap, I have had problems with their reports before. I would just try absolutely anything to make it go through, you may have to change other answers to make it accept... but make sure you add in the comments at the end of the form that you had to do this in order to get the form to submit, and explain what actually happened in the comments.

A quick query about the phone call jobs with OC - do you make the initial phone call between the due dates given? I'm assuming you do as the follow up call could be well outside those initial dates but I just want to make sure so if anyone has done these before please let me know!
I haven't had anything from them for ages and now have three jobs on the go!

I did mine today.

Have you checked the questionaire for the additional services offered? It shows which letters correspond to the assignment E.G - a) b) c)
