That right pebble thats what the tour person told me to do. I think i may have even bet - one coupon on black and one coupon on odds (is that possible, it was a while back) - they both came up so had £20 to play with, ended up betting it and wining a few pounds extra and then leaving the table. Or maybe I started with £10 and then won a few times betting on blocks of 4 or 2 numbers. Can't remember, but I wouldn't worry, i went in there completely blind, never been to a casino and the tour explains everything and I didn't feel like an idiot asking questions.

you can do the black and odd but you risk losing some/all of the money if red or even comes up. betting on opposite outcomes almost guarantees you a win (unless 0 comes out).

it's free money anyway so i don't suppose it really matters!

I'm not seeing the gyms on Re.

So, thats Hotels, Gyms and phone calls that I can't see.

!!!!!!

There were about four gyms in my area (i.e. within 50 miles of me), but they went pretty quickly. The telephone calls went very quickly (I couldn't get them coz I was at work when they came up). It might be that these jobs have just been taken really quickly?

I can't see the hotels either.

The reason some of you may not be seeing the hotels is that you need to have Business details entered in your profile.

The key is the email address must NOT be Yahoo or Gmail etc.

TBH these type of hotels are OK but nothing that fantastic. Also as I've said a few times the questionnaire is 140 Q's :eek: and I've done two where the allowance did not cover the expense.

Also you do not earn loyalty points as it is a bill reversal.

OMG :eek: Just had a call from Bare - they've allocated me the car jobs - 8 dealerships to visit tomorrow (and one of them is 70 miles away from the others!!! Hopefully I can do that one today as I'll be close by...).

Having read through the briefing notes this looks like a nightmare - I think I need some guidance from UKMonkey here;)...

Not strictly true, I have an email like yahoo/hotmail/gmail. I do not have business details in my profile and I can see business hotel stays

Well that's RE consistency for you! I got the speil from RE

Methinks they do not know what they are doing. (and their web-site is cr*P)

RE told me that it's just the one Hotel company that won't allow hotmail/gmail etc. Mine is ntl & that's not allowed. I gave my husbands email too, but because it doesn't relate to my business name, they said that won't do either!

I can see all the quite posh hotels no problem - some of which are for single business trips - but not this particular chain of hotels because of the reasons given. They said if leisure visits came up, I would be able to do these, just not the business ones if I use my ntl email address.

I was thinking of sorting another one out for my business anyway, to tie in with my company name, so may do that. RE said they can sort it quickly once I do this.

Aba-i money just dropped through the letter box! :j Four separate envelopes again - all for jobs done within two days of each other, and for the same company!!
