well done you!! im also managing to pick up a few jobs!
question.....which company does bingo? i would love those!!
:beer:

Thank you! GFK does bingo and they have put a load on today. There should be a link on the first post to them. Keep going with the jobs, there seems to be a few about at the moment.

Are the phone calls on RE nationwide or am I barred?? I did have to drop a job the other day after googling the pub and finding out it was in a rough area with really bad reviews. I was going on my own so decided it would be best to cancel it. All I can see on RE are about 50 pub jobs. Maybe I will have to do one to get back in :eek:.

Just looked at GFK, who aren't recruiting from my postcode, but are from my Mums postcode which is only 25 mins away. She only lives in a small market town, so not sure what would come up there in the way of MS. But quite tempted to apply under her address - would this be a bit daft?

The pub jobs appear to be limited to one per person. I'm not impressed!

I don't think that's daft at all. Not sure GfK would strictly approve, but then they won't know will they?

I did a bookies on Monday, the race I betted on was abandoned, just wonder if they will refund the bet to me?

If the race was abandoned, you should get your money back.

Well, once you have been accepted, you can put other post codes in anyway for work opportunities, so just add your postcode then. Of course, once you have been registered for a short while, you will be be moving won't you?

RE appear to still be releasing pubs.

I have just accepted one and still have 62 showing (in Yorkshire) so if you've already accepted one it may be worth having a look again if you want another.

Will go ahead and get registered.

I can't find *any* jobs at the moment, with retail eyes and gfk .... and I did about 7 over the last two weeks, very odd.

I have a question tho - the points on retail eyes, does anyone know why they're there? Do we get a bonus or something? They seem very detailed about them, but I've literally never seen them mentioned.

Is anyone else finding RE are putting payments on later paydates?

I've only been MSing for them since end Jan this year, but until now, payments always used to get scheduled for the next available pay date. I.e. a report ok'd on the 19th would be paid on the 25th. For the last few jobs I've done for them, they're getting postponed til the next date, i.e. a job ok'd on the 19th will be paid the following 10th.

Or have I just been lucky up til now?
