    GRR at RE.

    Just accepted a slimy creature & salad lunch. Did the pre-acceptance test. One of the questions "This visit is for 2 adults only". Ticked yes. Got accepted.

    Now reading notes and it says its for 2 adults and a child!!! So I'll have to cancel.

    How ridiculous , a lunch job where you have to take a child during term time??????

    So watch out anyone, before accepting this job, check you have an available child!!!

    I was actually chuffed that this allowed for a child aswell. I have lost count of the number of times my mum has mooched around town with my 2 year old whilst I mystery shop. Will be nice to be able to treat them to a nice lunch. (and earn myself some brownie points for when I need my next favour!!)

    hmmmm just got a RE phone call job that doesn't need recording!! Also the assignment questionaire said something " i understand I must wait 7 days for a follow up" but the printed questionaire doesnt say anything about that at all?????


    Yes, I have got one of these too. I did one some months ago and it's about the easiest possible job, hence the relatively low fee. You don't need to wait for any follow up but you do need to click that you will in order to pass the test!

    They should MS psychic phone lines like this.... you don't have to give out your name or number but you still have to wait seven days for a follow up...... creepy..... you'll just get a weird phone call saying "when are you coming? We're waiting for youoooooo...!!!" :rotfl:

    Sorry, it's hot and I'm delirious:A
  • Tern will send you a jiffy bag and labels for it. Yes, you do need to keep the original receipt, and make sure you complete a purchase claim form aswell. (which you can print off from the assignment guidelines.

    Thanks... but do I have to request this bag or will it get sent automatically?

    Also there was no purchase claim form with the assignment guidelines???

    I saw this too so couldnt take one as my son is too old to be able to have a kids meal and i cant make another kid randomly appear - very annoying :mad:

    I got one of these as well, you don't have to record it or any thing do you? I did see that any where, on the phone calls do you normally have to record them then? Never done any before, sorry! :confused:

    I'm so surprised that there has been a hotel visit on RE for over an hour and its not been taken yet.
    Is nobody in the NE of England on-line tonight?
    Sounds really good but only for 1 person, still I would have thought a single person with no kids would have snapped that one up.
    I can't see it:confused: It's probably still there because you are the only one seeing it:rotfl:

    im still not seeing RE hotels if there have been any in the south tonight? :( did email yesterday as blindman suggested but I have not had a response as of yet so I guess there is still something barring my account from seeing them.

    No these ones don't need a photo. It's only for certain jobs they require them (thankfully).

    I had to get a photo of a sandwich place the other day and the only way to do it was to stand in another cafe nearby. I did get an odd look from the waitress in there:o
