i pick up a few at the train station on my way home from work. It takes about 20 minutes for me to zoom around 5 shops and gets me a quick 25 quid in fees.

for the reports i open 5 windows and copy and paste my answers into each one and adapt if neccessary.

I was really annoyed when the goods cost more than the reimbursement - last month was fine though.

Well since the ones today all involved a glass of wine or a lager imagine doing 5. You'd fall asleep on the train home.:rotfl:

If its been such a long time since you worked for RE its possible they've put you back on probation - but its worth checking all your contact details are up todate, if they've tried to get in touch with you in the past and failed they'll put you back on probation until you tell them you've corrected the problem.

I can't understand why I'm a probationary shopper since I have conducted visits for RE in the past (albeit about 18 months ago). Anyone know how long the probtaionary status stays in place?

Does anyone know how they allocate assignments? I have a log in for the website but it just says under construction when I log in!

For RE - I thought you only needed to do one and when that was approved it you would no longer be on probation, however, as you have not done it in a while maybe they have reset you.

For Assosia,
I'm just as lost as you are. I received a confirmation email with ID and password but when I logged in it said under construction but I'm sure I've read other people getting jobs from them...I would love to know the answer.

They allocate jobs by email. There's very little you can do on the website beyond update your profile.

They email you with jobs, so you have to reply via email and wai.t and see if you get it

edit.......Nads just beat me to it!!! Must type faster

Thank you both for your answers

Probationary status only lasts for one job, although I don't know if it is re-instated if you don't do any jobs for a long time.

RE appears to be down again
