  • Wow, there really isn't a fee. I couldn't resisit logging in and taking a look. That really is RE at their lowest...... Probably a long questionnaire to answer in exchange for a product you are unlikely to use. Incredible. Too early to be April Fools...

    Is anyone actually going to want to do the health stores on RE? No fee, only reimbursed what you are recommended, you seem to need to post the receipt and of course the usual store photo needs to be taken... I can see them staying on the website for a while!
    No way! I did one last time but I couldn't believe what they expect you to do for these.

    You only get reimbursement for the product recommended. So if the assistant recommends a £1 product that's all you get....for travel, doing the job, taking a photo, battling with their website for 4 hours to submit the report, posting the receipt.

    Thanks but no thanks RE:p

    And they want the receipt posted back to them as well!! What a joke.

    Stamp shop on RE - so if the leaflets don't have the branch code on them you don't get paid. Surely that's the point of doing a mystery shop....to check if the shop is doing things correctly! :(

    There is a fee showing in the questionnaire, its not on the job notes though. Don't know if that will makes a difference to anyone though.
    Couldn't think of anything witty to say so just keeping the space until I can :(
    Stripper No 7 in HCSC :D
  • RE stamp shops - start date 9th Feb!

    Ruddy annouying, I have been past at least 2 of them in the last 2 days and could have done them if they'd put them on the bloody site in good time!

    Oh yes, I see it now. Thanks for pointing it out. Still doesn't make it worth my while to do the assignment but I'm sure they'll get snapped up by someone.

    They're going pretty damn quick! Some people just love doing work for no money! That's they only thing that's keeping RE going :eek:

    Did I spy a fellow mser today in Lowestoft at an ethical cosmetic shop?
    Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!

    There are three types of people in the world, those who can add up and those who can't.
  • I can't help notice the delivery pizza jobs aren't shifting on RE. No fee and the reimbursement only just covers the purchase if you get a certain size. Also pubs in not-so-nice towns near me never go - I see they've finally added a small fee and still aren't going!
