Why are you banned?!?! Was your trial report that bad?!

no i got 8 out of 10. i went into check this had appeared when i had the email about it being done and saw my acount was deactivated - i emailed 4 people to find out why. got a reply and its so stupid. i got sent an email about an urgent job a long drive from me this was on 6th july. i said i would be able to do it as it said up till the 12th so i could have done it on the 11th. it appeared in my account showing as due by 1st july on the 6th july so i emailed them straight away as it was obviously wrong. they then told me i could do it up to 10th july only. i explained that i could only do it on the 11th unless i was offered a larger fee or fuel allowance and was told they dont do these so i asked for it it be released from me. i only took it as it was an urgent email and i was trying to help them out - not a job i initially applied for as all the ones like that near me i didnt get. so anyhow now i am not allowed to work for them it seems..... i have emailed them disputing this and saying i have emails if they want to check what happens but i guess their system states that i had job for days didnt do it (ie from the 1st) and then released it. i am annoyed about it to say the least as they cover lots of companies i use regularly plus i dont like them to think i am not good enough :o:o

edigital have finally accepted me after a LONG wait whilst they verified my test :beer: so i am pleased about that but could only see car related things - is this all everyone else can see as well or is it because i am new in there? I have only shown interest in 2 incase other things come along.

anyhow good to see things are friendly in here again now im not trawling through all the old stuff that i missed if its all negative. we are stuck at home with viruses today so just about to go and make a veggie lasagne to hopefully make us better - i dont feel like doing it at all but we have to eat and i am the cook Ive still got 29 jobs to do this month all over the place so i need to get my strength back up again especially when i get lost in middle of nowhere which is likely only got 1 job back home when i am holiday so far so not very happy about that. i did have a pub visit with RE too but they say i didnt select the date (i did as i only had one i could do when i am there) so they took it off of me so fingers crossed some more pub visits appear before i go away - thats all i really want when im there as means we get some meals out as treats then.

That's all they have at the moment (well all that I can see!). Keep an eye on the invites page as they have a wide variety and it's usually all stuff you can do without having to leave the house

Many thanks for the warm welcome guys! I'm going to keep an eye on this forum and try and contribute when i can!

Going to do the fuel assignment on Thursday, so that should be entertaining!

For those of you who have been doing this a little while, do you still get a great deal of satisfaction from it? I get this sneaky but good feeling from doing assignments! Its weird.... However i am now finding myself recieving bad service in places i go normally and wishing i was there on assignment!! ;-)

There will be MANY times when you wish you were on an assignment! Mystery Shopping can be really addictive - as soon as you see a job in your area that you're eligible for, it's quite exciting to be able to pick it up. Sometimes I wake up on a weekend and think "Ugh, why did I schedule so many assignments for today... I just want to chill out!" but once I've done them, I usually feel pretty hyped about it, and ready to do it again!

It's nice to just have a bit of extra money coming in to be honest. I've started to go off the phone shops after having to fend off a salesman a few weeks ago who just wouldn't give up. However, when I got to write up the report and explain exactly how bullied he made me feel and how pressurised I was to buy, it's nice to know you may be helpign to spare someone else that same experience!

It's a nice little thing to do, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it for a long time to come! There are ups and downs, I won't deny that - but you will get addicted!

I've just picked up a bank job on Grassroots if that helps anyone out.
Know we weren't sure whether to put GR alerts up as everyone gets emails anyway - but you can only pick one job up.

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 £** for the assignment, with a minimum spend of £**

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

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

Any advice would be appreciated!!

Hi Matt and welcome....but can you remove the fees from your post as the clients don`t like it. You never know who is reading and they will try and undercut the prices so we will be even worse of.
