An email got sent round last year asking people to apply to be on a panel to do these shops. Not sure about the spend and save thing but they are green and orange if that helps?

Ah right thanks, then yes, these are the ones we're talking about. I didn't get an email inviting me last year, so maybe that's why...

I'll let you know what my Area Manager says, maybe they'll add them on, she says hopefully. At least we've finally got to the bottom of why some can see and some can't - phew!

Random question but are some people just constantly logged on to various MS Cos? Seems they always find the jobs. I log on when I can (usually tea time) and hardly see anything... well apart from the airport and train jobs on RE.
Only asking as I'm still trying to decide whether to splash out on a new phone (Blackberry) or a note book and internet dongle. Maybe if I can logg on 60 times a day I might get some jobs, that would scare the glasgow MSmaffia hahahaha

Also which companys tend to phone from a witheld number and hang up on you before you answer? Been happening for the past couple of days and just happened as I typed my last question. Only 1 ring before they hung up grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

That happened to me today too! Gutted as I was hoping it would be for one of the mystery shop companies I had applied too! Mine jsut said "Call".

On the RE phone ones, do you have to call from your home landline or can you call from your work landline. I'm hoping to do one during lunch tomorrow but I wasn't sure if the recording that they sent you after your phone call somehow showed which phone number you phoned from. (if that makes sense )

creaker - not sure about your question, but even if you call from a home phone, you could with hold the number so can't see it making much different. Never done a phone job b4
Also regarding RE - anyone else notice how the reimbursement for the station ones have gone up, even though the hot drink purchase required (on most, there are a few pastrys one) is only half that, and it says you can buy other items but at your own cost......very sneaky. As someone said while back the reimbursement could be £100 but if they just want you to buy a cuppa.......pointless

Creaker it doesn't matter which number you call from. You ring the 0871 number and enter the job number and pin- don't ring direct!

Well spotted tiger... sneaky sneaky sneaky...

Thanks you two. I feel silly for asking but better safe than sorry.
