The Mystery Shopping thread - part 6

ellie9ellie

I got a free bet two but the the two clubs I bet on drew - damn it!! I only did one as the first place didn't offer it to me.

Becles - thank you for the post - as you can tell I know diddly squat about fish!!! May have to get a proper tank and a filter (if the fish lasts through the night that is!! There in separate tanks at the moment so hopefully they will be OK. These fish are costing me a fortune.

I have another betting shop job on tomorrow so off to see who has good odds.

Afternoon. Has anyone noticed on RE that any recent jobs have been put through but payments have not been added to your account? I have 3 that I have had the points awarded for, but they're not appearing on payments pending...

Yeah, same has happened to me, I put two reports through early this morning, the points have been added to my account but the jobs have vanished. I'm going to leave it overnight to see if they appear after the system update and if they don't i'll email RE and see. Though why I bother, I don't know, they only seem to reply to about 1 in 4 of my emails

I have 3 jobs which were reviewed last night and the points were added but the payments have completely disappeared. They are not showing as pending or due I'm assuming they will sort it on Monday but if not I'll be contacting them.

I've got quite a few stamp shop jobs lined up over the next week or so. They are the ones where you can spend £5 or post something, and get a POP as a receipt.

What I'm wondering is, if I spend less than £5 on the item posted, will I get the full £5 reimbursement or just what it actually cost? If anyone knows the answer to this one I would be grateful.

I usually just buy books of stamps, and use them up on postal competition entries, but I've got so many to do that I think I will have too many stamps. And have a few parcels to post, so would be handy to combine them.

If these are the stamp jobs for GAP you have to pay more than £5.00. I bought £4.94 worth of stamps before and they wouldn't reimburse me. If your paying by cash you can buy savings stamps. You can use these towards your car tax or television license.

Eek! I jsut did a shop to find out about credit cards and bought £4.40 of stationary and asked the staff member for 3 postage stamps. He forgot to give them to me and I didn't realise until the transaction completed and I left the place.

I noted this info on the questionnaire but do you think I'll get away with it?

i once bought slighty less than the £5 in error and they did reimburse me. it must depend on who looks at your report.

I like the new one4all vouchers you can buy on those jobs. Unfortunately you have to buy a minimum of £10 at a time but you can use them in thousands of shops. I'm saving mine to buy nice kitchen stuff!:)

Just out of interest, a quick straw poll as it were... how many jobs can you see on RE right now? I can see 4 and my area is fairly big.

Absolutely zilch Covering a decent sized area in the East Midlands (don't do much/any work for them though, about 6 jobs over the past year)
