Not usually. There is one company who does this, but most will reimburse the amount you actually spend. You have to be really careful which jobs you take on because sometimes the cheapest thing you can buy is more than the reimbursement, leaving you out of pocket. This is happening more and more, especially one company.

Thanks...

You see all this question asking is helpful to me and to many lurkers reading in the background.

What I appreciate is there are many on here who have been there done it made the mistakes and are now experts in MS. By speaking to fellow people I can leverage of your experiences so I don't make similar mistakes....

I hope others feel positive too knowing they have helped others on this thread because it is greatly appreciated.

What part of the country will you be doing these MS jobs. If you live in a big town then there will be a lot more avaliable.

When a MS company reimbursses say £3, would it be possible for me to just spend £1 and still get the company to reimburse £3 on top of my normal fee ?

No - they reimburse what is on the receipt. Sometimes if you do not spend the correct amount they do not pay at all.

Looking forward to hearing about your first five jobs in the same location.

St00zer,

After reading and replying to some of your questions over the last few days, and noticing you seem to have higher goals compared to the rest of us, have you considered one of these options?

Check carefully. Many clients insist on using a debit card. Once you have done a few jobs you will quickly find out the answer to most of your questions.

Is it possible for me to use a Credit Card on MS for RE ?

Not sure why people don't believe me that this is possible when I saw more then 5 jobs in one location only a couple of days ago on RE. Sadly they have put me on probation so I could'nt sign up.

What was interesting was the next day 95% of the jobs had gone.

Please can you provide further details of these sites and advise why you think they are a good idea?

Thank you.

The first one suggests at a regular income, and guarenteed work from day one.

The second one - I read you wanted to be in a position of not doing the work but getting others to do it for you, which is essentially what the franchise offers. It is £27,000 + VAT though.

I am sure once you select one of these then the others will disappear. Were they all the same type of jobs?
