Holly,

Thanks for your help!!

I went into RE and under assignments clicked on 0 Avaliable. It then takes me to a job filter and I ticked boxes and clicked apply. is that what I do to find jobs? i have put in lots of cities I visit in East Mids too but it is still saying no assignments? Is this just because there are actually no assignments or am I doing something wrong?

Give it a bit of time and the jobs will start to appear. Mine looked the same when I started then after a while I started to see more.

Just a hint, try and pick up a job that has to be done quickly for your first one. As other people have mentioned you can only take one at first then once it's completed it takes about 2-3 days for them to proof read it and "pass" it before you can pick any more jobs.

I've got a supermarket job today, does anyone know if I can use my coupons for extra points on my rewards card when paying for my shopping?

I woke up all optimistic this morning - so far I've had a useful meeting - and I've just picked up my first GR job! wahey! Now I need a plausible reason to be banking on the wrong side of the river....

Has anyone done one of these. PM me please if you have. Look a bit complicated. Do you ask for a refund for your purchase?

Goodness, I'm almost scared to venture on here as it's all been a bit heated hasn't it!

As you know, I'm new to this but I was wondering if you can tell me which are the good MS companies to go for. I'm strongly picking up the fact that RE aren't good but who do you think it is worth applying for? I'm with GAP and Grass Roots so far, as well as RE (won't be doing anything for them I don't think though).

Any advice much appreciated.

Personally RE is one of my favourites - they always have loads of work. The fees aren't the best but when I just want some lunch during my break from work or something, it's worth it for a free lunch

Yes - the first bit is like a normal mystery shop. Then you go outside and try and do the exit interview. Then go back in and tell them you are the mystery shopper, ask for a refund and do the audit bit.

They're not that complicated once you get the hang of them, and the staff members are really helpful with the audit bit as they're used to it.
