What did it for me is: I upload receipts by taking a photo and uploading. 2 were ALLEGEDLY not clear although they were fine or I would not have submitted them. G1mpbuster just refused to pay and would not even let me resumit the receipt, fax or mail it in.

Holly, as for RE, yes it can be annoying with silly repetitive questions but the reason they do that is because some people just click any old answer to get through the assignment when they've not done it properly at the visit stage. So it's literally a case of confirming you have clicked the right answer, so it would be enough to say, "The pub was fairly busy, about 20% full." I also agree that their fees are not that high but I do only do the pub jobs, for example, for a free meal and drinks. I'd never spend that sort of money on a meal out for myself as I cannot afford to. And if I was going out anyway, the £5 fee negates my bus fares so it saves me a little bit on my planned excursion.

Well done FE you have come up with another nickname for Gyp that I hadn't thought of. My other new one is Fronline Late Focus.:rotfl:

I take your point about some shoppers just ticking any old box but why then don't all the other companies do that.

I do not do the pub jobs for RE now. I do though do ones for another company as they pay for 2 meals and 2 drinks. I think RE have a cheek expecting you to do a pub visit where it is clear in the notes they want 2 shoppers as you have to order 2 different drinks but only 1 meal. So either DH sits and watches me eat ( he is used to that though having married a glutton or you share the meal and me being me I would count the number of chips he ate in case he gets one more than me.:rotfl:

If you go to your home page, click on invoicing and a list of jobs that you have done will show. If it states reviewed then you'll have a button to click that said (raise invoice). You can do this at anytime you like. No paper work to fill in.
PS, check that the reimbursment is included first.

Thanks Leila

Can I make a plea here in defence of Sithara. FLF are Canadian. Although Sithara assigns jobs she has no control over the payment part. I know from talking to her it causes her a great deal of stress getting irate calls from us about late payments, so please don't take your frustration out on her.

As Josie rightly says the pay is good considering how easy the job is ( the credit card ones) and the report takes 5 minutes. The pizza ones are not in Sithara's remit..they are done by Marie.

Marie, and FLF, owe me pizza money from May!!

FE have you tried ringing and asking for Marie for your pizza reimbursement. I only did one as I found the shennanigans of all those daft pics silly. By which time the pizza was lukewarm. And I ate the whole lot. I blame my mother...I was told as a child to eat everything on my plate as their are "Poor little children in Africa are starving so get that plate cleared"

So you can see I had a traumatic upbringing which has caused me to be a glutton in adulthood.:rotfl:

In case anyone else is as stupid as me I solved the RM login problem. I just assumed it had become like some of the others and you had a username and chose a password.

In fact the briefing notes give you a username ( name of the shop etc) and a number for a login unique to that visit.

Note to self: must read briefing notes properly in future.:o
