    Oh sh**! That was the plan, get a t-shirt or a belt, maybe a scarf or shoelaces.


    What are they making these accessories out of? Gold? I thought about doing the same with one of these shops but they were too far away to be worth it.

    Please report back with how you get on and if you could buy anything with the reimbursement.


    Is it the petrol alternative or the other one?

    Hi, i had also thought about doing these visits, went into my local "jeans" place and saw there was very little priced below £25, i only a bright orange strappy vest for around £15....not really worth it when you can go elsewhere and get it for £2 :rotfl: :rotfl:

    It's going to be a bit weird spending time discussing and trying on jeans and then going for the cheapest thing in the store!

    vicki, it's the other one :) I'll let you know how it goes, pretty standard visit but that questionnaire looks nasty.

    I was wondering regarding the expensive jeans stores, would you be able to go in, buy whatever, then go back a few weeks later and return the item?

    Just a quick query, i have a RE job to do with a famous company about a laptops, the fee is "not very much" and the reimbursement is £10, do i just get back what i have spent in the store, or do i get back the full £10 whateve i spend, its not very clear on the brief....to be honest i had thought it was the other way around...that will teach me eh!!!

    Thanks ;)
  • Usually RE only give back whay you spend so I go to the max spend limit ;)
