I've not done one of these jobs, so can't be 100% sure, but I don't think there IS a reimbursement - I think it's a flat fee of a "blue note"

I'm not sure whether the fee is meant to also cover the cost of returning the item or not, though.

Don't try phoning RE to ask them - they aren't asnwering their phones today!!!! :mad::mad::mad:

the postage costs are reimbursed separately and you keep the item. i dont know what "blue note" means - i have brain fade due to lack of sleep due to ill child... i know anyone with kids knows how that feels!! so there is a reimbursement figure for item you keep and a teeny fee but even adding both together i cant find anything that wont still cost me something. i wouldnt mind if there was something i desperately wanted to treat myself too but there isnt!

I did this one way before Christmas and luckily found a top for my son's Christmas.

I was out of pocket though. This is another one Re's specials akin to the vitamin one where you don't get a fee or reimbursement just the joy of health lol!

Beware it took them almost 3 months to agree that the postage was to be re-imbursed and it took endless chasing!

If you really don't want to buy anything on the site, I'd hand the job back. RE deserve no loyalty or professionalism, as they give none in return.

thank you i think i am going to have to. i cant find anything that would not cost me money and they are items that i do not need for any of the family or for gifts etc. i was also concerned about the note about postage being reimbursed at a later stage. just annoying as i am stuck in so was hoping to know ive earnt something today at least on a better note logging in to try and find something meant i got an italian bros meal so thats something (if once again not actually making money).

Hi guys,

i've an up-coming bookies job with RE. Just realised my passport is expired :doh: and i only have a paper driving licence. The assignment notes states photo id required. Can i get by with my non-photocard driving licence, do you think? RE don't answer my emails and no response on phones.

Many thanks .

Does a blue note perhaps mean a fiver?

I don't have a clue about football and did mine yesterday. Just take a random guess. I did 3 -1 to england.

Best bit is, I won lol :beer:

I did the same....and a straight £2 win.....so a nice little amount to add to the fee, making it a bit more worth doing .

I have just done my first MS for Retail Maxim and have emailed in the claim form with my receipt. Can anyone tell me, please, should I have posted the claim form, or will email suffice? I have read and re-read everything and I am now in doubt.
