I was about to ask the same thing - I can't get the page to display at all.

While I'm here - what are ESA like - I keep seeing the alerts and thinking I must sign up...

They seem to operate like Bare - once you are doing work for them it seems fairly easy to get more, but it is a real pain to get accepted for the first job. I am registered but not done anything for them yet (have applied only for a few jobs though).

I've only just signed up to them, do they e-mail you when jobs are available or do you need to just keep checking?

They always call me to offer the jobs. They are in the process of switching to sassie where you can self-allocate the jobs so it's worth keep checking.

I'm doing two jobs for them today, one is in the new system and one is in the old one.

Good luck!

Does anyone know if there's a dress code for the casino visits please? I can't find anything on the notes, but my hubby thinks that you probably won't be able to wear jeans.

Check the website. We did two and the dress code was "smart casual" on the website but when we got there there were people in everything from smart cocktail wear down to trackie bottoms and trainers

I did a few jobs for them in the last two months but haven't got paid yet. I applied 6 jobs in my area last week but did not get any. Don't really understand how they operate.

You'll find several mystery shopping companies will only hire in certain areas where they are lacking in shoppers - it's not uncommon.

You could try any family members postcodes in other areas and sign up under their address before "moving house" or just putting your home postcode as your extended area. A lot of people get round it that way.

I've seen a few pub/sandwich shops/cycle shops become released on RE if anyone's interested? Might be some in your area.
