Hi, quite new to this Mystery shopping. Signed up with a few comapnies but find RE seem to offer me the most jobs. How many points do you need to earn before they start offering more than pubs/ pub meals? Would like to do a hotel job how many points before these come available?
Thanks in advance

All the hotel stay jobs I've seen have been buisness jobs, so you'll only start seeing them if you can register a work email address. But you will have to do a couple of jobs before you'll see them even with the work details finished.

There are a few leisure hotel stays about - we've got one this weekend... they don't appear too often and you have to be quick to get them...

I've just accepted my first job for ISC, and notice in the assigment notes it says they will pay by paypal - the problem is I don't have a paypal account on the email address I have registered with them - I don't remember saying that I would accept paypal payments anyway...

Any suggestions, as I don't really want to open yet another paypal account...?

They paid me direct into my bank account. Not paypal. Did you give them your bank account details?

I cant even see the leccy shops (am in the NW, but have defined London too). Doesnt sound like I'm missing much though.
Quick query, about to go do a stamp job, its my first gyp job and I want to make sure I can just pay for the postage and get a receipt rather than spending the full reimbursement? Just I know this branch wont let me buy the other things I need at the counter - so wont be on the receipt if I use the postage as the purchase, or should I make another purchase at the till (and they dont like giving receipts there)??

I tend to spend my £5.00 on 10 X 10p stamps and 8 x 50p stamps. That way I have bought the minimum number of stamps as required (14, I think it is) and I use the stamps for sending my ebay sales off.

To be honest, I've no idea, as it was so long ago that I signed up, and this is the first job they've offered me...

Stupid question - On RE are you able to view hotel deals outside your specified area?
