The required purchases should cost you pretty much the reimbursement so you probably wouldn't be able to buy nything else anyway!

Thanks Monkey ! Its a summer drink , blimey are they really that expensive !!! Wont pick one of these up again I dont think but hey it will give me something to do whilst I wait to return to an Abai shop ...

No, they're not that expensive. I can usually get the drink and food item and still have a few quid spare to buy some lunch at the same time. Just be careful to sort of grab it after you've ordered your drink, because you're meant to just order your drink and see if they suggest a food item and they're not going to do that if you're loaded up with other food!

hi guys

sorry about posting in the wrong board, it will not happen again..finally learning.
thanks

Tip for you. You can delete posts by clicking on "Edit" it does give you the option to delete a bit farther down. You then don't need to write "Removed" as it actually disappears.

Thanks Josie thats really helpful, so they will pay me up to the reimbursement then even though theyve only told me I have GOT to buy a drink ....

(

You may spend more than the claim limit if you wish, but will only be reimbursed up to the amount

stated above for the drink.
)

If I buy two drinks and a food item will they still pay the set reimbursement ?

Sorry I am not up to speed with how TNS 'work' !

How long do MS companies take to check reports, i submitted a MS to RE on Monday and as i'm still probationary i cant accept any of the 25 MS jobs sitting on my page....so frustrating. GR is no better, report submitted last Friday, still pending....

Has someone just released some very nice posh sandwich shops in glasgow on RE for tomorrow?? Very nice!
Sadly cant take up the offer, stood on a nail last night so hobbling round the MS shop I did today was enough to write me off for the weekend....plus the tetanus jab is now affecting my typing...hope you all have a more productive weekend

They replied to my email earlier about the delay saying that they are running behind because of holidays. I have a report that's been sitting there for 6 days, but they don't normally take that long.

I have had one sitting for 9 days!!!! No queries and the one I did 3 days after has been passed, think it must be due to holidays or again........................450,000 shoppers:eek::eek::eek:

I am actually waiting for 9 payments to be processed by RE which for me is quite a lot of money. I did ring them today about this and was told that there were quite a few people who had also rung in with the same query. She took all my details and the job numbers and said that if they hadn't cleared by Monday then I was to ring again! :rolleyes:

I'm confused.

I've just had a job come up in my area at a station but you have to actually buy a ticket to get to the outlet and then order some food.

All fine, but you only get £3 reimbursement, the cheapest train fare is £3 and I'm meant to get some food too.

What's that all about then? I don't want to turn it down, but I'm going to be out of pocket to start with! Any advice greatfully received!
