    no takers anyone??? :confused:

    If someone who has a prescription could scan it and email it for me to do a Photoshop job on, then I'll get cracking on those pharmacies and have them shifted by the weekend. :)

    Hi,

    I've just accepted my first fule court assignment with ABAi after ages of not seeing as single assignment anywhere near my location. I've heard you guys mention fuel assignments in a positive light so accepted it. Looking more closely it says i will recieve £X for the assignment, with a minimum spend of £Y.

    Can i assume that the £X is supposed to cover the £Yspend? So really i would make less than £Z in fee's? Or do ABAi do it differently and reimburse you £Y for the spend and a £X fee (wishful thinking i expect).

    It also says you cant buy fuel, so thats another bummer! Lol...

    Any advice would be appreciated!! :)

    I'm seriously considering getting myself a doctors appointment and inventing some malady just to get a perscription to do those damn jobs!!!! I have 36 showing in my area at the moment. It clogging up the screen.

    I have got to get a prescription in the next two months anyway, so wondering whether to just go get it early. But I really can't be bothered to take time out of work to go to the doctors and then time out to do a MS that probably isn't worth the fee.

I've heard you guys mention fuel assignments in a positive light so accepted it. Looking more closely it says i will recieve £15 for the assignment, with a minimum spend of £10.

    The ones I have done for ABAi in the past have been £10 spend on fuel with a £15 reimbursement, and another was £10 fuel with a £20 reimbursement but a visit to the competitor across the road

    I would look at the job like this: You go and get £10 worth of goods and get £15 back, thus £5 profit. You get the £10 worth of goods for free! That is better than staff discount my friend, they only get 10% off!

    Also, most of the ABAi jobs are now saying you have to purchase a car wash for £2.99, so you would get a car wash for free too :)

    Hi,

    Yeah i appreciate that, so i'm not complaining, however i didnt want to look like an idiot and e-mail ABAi direct...... so i thought i would like like an idiot on here instead :-)

    Many thanks for you advice!

    I'm Matt by the way, only recently started Mystery Shopping in the past 4 weeks, so getting to grips with it all! I've done 4 assignments so far and have 6 more booked in over the next few weeks. Its all go!! :-)
