They are to ring claims companies about reclaiming PPI on loans, I've had various different companies offered to me in the last 24 hours. They have been putting random postcodes on them to get them to appear in people's lists, so hopefully you should see one soon. Keep checking.

Gfk need to change their system so that phone calls are offered to everyone at the same time. I've been registered with them for years and today is the first time I have ever been offered any phone call assignments. My postcode area must be very random:rolleyes:

Just a reminder to everyone to hang on to their notes and any job related emails........

I completed a job a while back ago and the company concerned have come back to me asking for further details about the staff member mentioned in a particular scenario. I was puzzled by this - I didn't recall this person or the scenario happening and thought that some of the comments in the copy of my report were quite short (eg Fred was helpful.), whereas mine are usually more detailed.

I eventually sussed out the problem. On this occasion I wasn't asked to do one of the special scenarios but when I tried to submit my report with this section blank, I couldn't. The mystery shopping co then filled in this section with some made up details to enable me to submit the job. No wonder I couldn't remember - it didn't happen! :rolleyes: I still can't quite believe that they have asked me to clarify comments which they concocted themselves!

Fortunately I still had my emails regarding this so I was able to piece it together. I'm glad I kept them otherwise I'd still be thinking "who the hell is Fred?"

RE STATION JOBS

I would not get too stressed about getting a ticket, if you tell the barrier operator that you need to visit the assigned site they will let you through.

Can anyone please tell me how flexible Aba-i are with changing the date of the assignment? I have just accepted one but will not be able to do them until Saturday! Do you think I have committed a sacking offence by asking for an extension?

I emailed and asked yesterday and was told quite flatly no, they only extend jobs towards the end of the month when deadlines are due to be fair to the other shoppers. I swear the job didn't tell me before I accepted it I had to do it between 11am and 3pm on a weekday but I could have done it on the Saturday or Sunday in the required hours. Grrr.

Gutted that I have missed the clothing shops on RE again! And they are showing as available until you click on them and then it says they have just been selected by another shopper and then they dissappear :mad:

I emailed this morning when this happened with a store that 'was taken by another shopper' on both my account and my OHs, apparently its a system glitch, and she just assigned me the job manually.

I'm doing the phone calls for Bare at the moment and DH was with me when I called one place the other day. He was serioulsy worried at how easy it was for me to lie :rotfl: He said I didn't even bat an eyelid when I was telling the person on the other end of the phone a whole bunch of fibs he he he.

And please could nice person PM to let me know what the posh retail shops are on ABAi - I've searched the two I thought it was but nothing anywhere TIA xx

The ones on aba-i are posh London (mainly) shops.

Think of the thing in your kitchen that keeps your milk fresh.



edit: oh, and I agree about station jobs for RE, I just tell the person on the barrier that I only want to go to the shop and I have always been let through.
