just a note before anyone grabs the pharmacy ones on the alert - you need a prescription in your own name !

How will they know whose name the prescription is in? (Confidentiality?)

Just been trawling through all sites and seen in Tern that my account has been manually deactivated and the assignment I have done for them(my first) is still yet to be marked. Anyone else having the same problem - I have emailed them?

It might be tied in with the 3rd part of the job where you have to have a medicine review with the pharmacist.

Actually there's a named fee for each leg (ie outward and return apart from the Sydney ones). Clearly states fee is £xx for outward and £xx for return-

It's a bit academic as you have to come back!

You might want to add a link to the priceline thread to your guide too btw.

If you read the post :rolleyes: I think you'll find the link to both Priceline and Hotwire are already there.:D

I would just call or email an enquiry to them and ask whether "plus 1" is strictly plus one or whether you can take a couple of friends. (maybe don't say actually 8 though?!)

When I did my first ever job for them, it was to a pub and didn't even have a plus 1. I emailed to ask and they said I could take someone along.

On a related note, anyone know RE's opening hours?

I may just do that!

I have no idea, I generally try calling them after 12 and before 8pm if that helps? I have tried earlier in the day and not got a response before.

Presumably the pharmacy records will match up with the name on the report- although there is another loophole

I've got my first two ABA-i petrol jobs today! :j
However, i'm abit miffed about the hot drink part. It says to ask for your drink during the till transaction, whilst paying for your purchases, but I thought that the cafe part of the petrol station was self service?? Is that right?

No, it's not self service in those petrol stations. Just queue up as usual, and ask for your drink , they will then shout the order over to the cafe person (if there is one there). I love these jobs, quick and simple!
