Why can't I see any restaurants? They can't ALL have gone that quickly

Its odd but most of the ones from tonight in my area are just sitting there still, the coloured monarch ones went super quick tho this morning , was annoyed to just lose out to the one round the corner to me to another shopper.... grrrr... ! I dont mind doing this chain as most of the time you can get 2 meals for £8 and therefore the meals and drinks comes in under the reimbursement (so we usually have a starter or dessert too then!), was a bit peeved to see that the £5 fee had disappeared this time round tho..... Wont do the other chain though , not or the reduced fee and what you have to buy....

Just change the time of the receipt to anything between time of entering and leaving the restaurant and add a note at the end explaining the situation and that time on the receipt should be xxx. HTH

Thanks for that - that is exactly what I did, I didnt see your message before thinking no one was here I was in a bit of a panic! Anna x

I cant quite understand why I dont see more on RE, I have ticked all the boxes, got "Other areas" ticked but still I only ever see a couple from my area. Seems odd to me - and I NEVER see phone calls. How does that work cos surely it doesnt matter where you are if its only a phone call!

It is indeed a mystery. I'd not seen any restaurants until tonight - when others were talking about them yesterday, I couldn't see any. Perhaps they release batches of them in different areas at different times? I've never seen any hotels - not sure if I need to alter my areas to see these?

Have you tried widening your defined areas? I have 4 different areas with quite a wide radius - due to my main job & family i get to travel around :rolleyes:

I know I seen no food on the go today or anything yesterday food wise, like that I did get the resturant tonight:-) No fee tho....weird before these type of jobs could lie for ages, Im surprised the pharmacies are not away!!!

Not sure if this is what the notes said before they reduced the fee but I noticed they say that they will only reimburse 1 person's meal :huh:

I'm also curious as to why I can't see certain jobs on RE. I've never seen any of the restaurants that have apparently been released tonight, I'm wondering if I'm not in the demographic for it though, am I right in thinking blondecaz, karamelrose and jdan are all about the same age as me?? (I'm 21) If so can any of you guys see those jobs?

Ive also never seen any phone calls or hotels either but I'm wondering whether that has anything to do with the extended profile bit thats on there which I am currently in the process of filling in to see if that makes a difference!

I'm 23 and can't see them so you may be right. Although I'm hoping not lol.
