Did my first Tapas job for RE today. Never been there before, and its not the sort of restaurant I'd have chosen to go to, but it was delicious, and I'll definitely be going back !

If you sign up on their website, they keep sending you vouchers. My middle son wanted to go for his birthday and we used a 50% off all food voucher. The children loved all the little dishes and want to go again now.

I did an RE game pizza shop. It's a new store with opening offers and it was any size and any type of pizza for a few pence more than half the spend allowance. The pizza's were beautiful - really well made and tasty and we would go back, but not at full price as I thought the normal prices were too expensive.

I picked up some chemists in places where I'll be anyway. It's not much extra effort to do them and my Dad uses the product I have to buy. It's easy to spend the rest on stuff you need to buy anyway like toiletries or painkillers or bits I need for our holidays like mozzie bite cream.

Someone mentioned some Mobility calls or something, all my 8 calls are banks, to be clear. 3 different banks.

Be careful mate. I'd cancel 5 of them. It does clearly say (when you bother to read it!) that you can only do one per bank. Don't want you doing them and not getting paid!

My local one often has offers on, they quite often put vouchers through my door too. Also I once ordered a pizza online and they added me to their mailing list and occasionally send me vouchers with special offers through the post.

I have never paid full price for one of their pizzas.

I also read, I think, that when you call to order, they only tell you about offers if you ask if there are any offers available.

Just a thought for those doing the bank jobs...don't be suprised if you get extra good service when they look on your account and see all the money coming in from Mystery Shopping companies....

Do you think that would be a good excuse for submitting your report late? I sampled the product and fell asleep!

On a more urgent note, does anyone know what time Retail Eyes phone lines open today (if at all) or have any numbers that will be answered ASAP? I need to speak to them about a job that's booked for today, but no answer on the main number.

Problem solved, just tried again and they answered. For all we moan about RE's fees and website, their staff are lovely when you speak to them. :beer:

I'm doing a GAP Burger in a few hours but then wanting to get straight off on an overnight stay.

Does the "8 hours" (aka by 8am) rule come into play at weekends?

I mean, do I need to submit my report by 8am tomorrow or will tomorrow evening suffice do you reckon??
