    Just get it off your bill/bank. I don't like these IBAN calculators, how can anyone be sure it's correct?

    Hi,

    When I registered with A**I , I was only able to access ******** shops(clothes shops).
    I try searching all the arears (london to surrey) near me and nothing did come up.

    I have seen on this forum people mentioning different shops under A**I.

    I am wandering can anyone tell me how to get register with these other shops with A**I.

    Many thanks.

    You have to register for each client. I was sent links by A**I as I couldn't work it and asked them directly how to add clients so I don't know how you do it otherwise.

    Can you take the client names out of your post please? And the same to the replier who inadvertently included the client name in their reply? Thanks

    [STRIKE]Just thought, the problem with your IBAN, missymugwump, might be the spaces? I'm not sure, but have you tried putting it in without them?[/STRIKE]

    Edit: Just beaten to it! :D

    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    I can see why not to put names when the post is about clients and jobs but this is how to sign up and the name is on the front page and it wouldn't make sense otherwise. Plus I had this problem and so others will have it too with this company.

    I will edit the post but I really don't see the logic here.

    Some MS companies very much dislike any discussion of their clients - others don't mind so much. I think others here will tell you the consensus on this board is we don't mention ANY client names (also no fees btw). Other companies may be reading and may find out what clients a company has and try to steal them.

    Does anyone do mystery shopping for a large department store (I know I can't name them, but they have Blue Cross sales...I hope it's okay to say that!). Anyway, if so a little birdie tells me that they're only doing 2 more waves of mystery shopping, this summer and autumn - then they're going to stop their mystery shop programme in 2010. They are replacing it with an online survey instead, which customers can fill in about their experience. It seems like they're basically getting their customers to be their Mystery Shoppers for free, instead of paying us to do it!

    I hope it's not a sign of things to come with other shops??? :confused:

    They do this a lot in the US and as usual, I guess we'll follow their lead. You usually get a discount voucher to print off for your next visit, so doesn't necessarily mean you always get gripes, but hey, I'm not saying it's a good idea to replace mystery shoppers, mind!
