I set up my RE with town names. Going to try adding postcodes instead to see what happens! I haven't seen any restaurants or sports shops, but I'm 23 so I obviously never eat out, buy cars or visit sports shops

It must be the age as i'm 23 and can't see the sports shops/eating out etc

That's it. I give up on RE. They can go stick there jobs where the monkey hides his nuts. No wonder they have sports jobs still there this morning. I need new trainers but I prefer to buy my own as I can't be a****d with that rubbish website.

The accreditation questions are set wrong and they have spelt accessory as acessory.

Bunch of amateurs.:mad::mad::mad:

My New Year Resolution was to avoid RE as much as possible. I recently did two jobs.....never again. Eventually after over a week of to-ing and fro-ing got the pictures attached and the expenses given over the phone. The pictures were there - I could see them, even RE could see them but RE's computer said no!

I thought as it was a problem at their end, everything would go through ok, but both have disappeared from my account and it looks like I have another lengthy fight on my hands to get paid.

It took them 4 months to agree that their reason for non payment before was nonsense - they were adamant my daughter did the job for me. If I had to repeat one more time SHE IS SEVEN, I think my head would explode!


So never again - for good this time!

This has been my worst week ever.Under £200 booked so far and next week looks worse.

April is looking good though.

Doing an cinema ice cream job tonight, looking forward to it... i'm used to buying it from a tub in the supermarket, so it's nice to go down and get it hand-scooped!

Yummy - I did one of these jobs on Wednesday night and was upsold to the biggest ice cream selection possible with caramel, cream and smarties on top! There goes the diet for this week/month then! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I have another one to do tonight too...:eek:

Like others on here, I've also had a quiet March ms workwise. However, it's been quite nice to have the time to wind down a bit as February was so hectic. April is looking ok'ish but only due to the shops which I have lined up for TNS. Only have 2 jobs for Gap booked.
I've got an ice cream job lined up for tonight and will combine that with a non ms trip to the cinema.

For some time they had "dining" on the shopper homepage as "dinning." I suggest they employ a proofreader. :rotfl:

I've done loads of these, but never once had an upsell (or even taste). One measly scoop! I can't remember who used to do the standalone stores, but they were more rewarding for ice cream lovers!

Same here (she says with a huge sigh of relief). Trouble is, I've now developed a habit of loading myself up with pitiful fill-in jobs, and I'll have to be a bit more selective (goodbye RE).

I actually find RE ok, I couldnt see any jobs for ages in january but I then phoned them and and told them and hey presto I could see loads of them and have done ever since, so my advice to those who cant see jobs is to ring them. I have found them excellent over the phone. I know it sounds like I work for them but Ive never had any problems with payment or otherwise with them. Mind you their fees are on the low side but great if you can tie in with other jobs.

I also have a couple of questions Ive registered with Abai and cant see any jobs,do they release them all the time or just in a big batch once a month or so.
The other question is ive tried to register with TNS and apparently I dont come up to their standards is it just me or do they pick and choose, Ive never had any problems with any other MS co as I work for 8 or 9 of them.
Thanks in advance.
PS I dont know if anyone here lives in Yorkshire but if they do Bare have some car circuits they are paying VERY good rates on,nearly double the usual fee.

I only see the Abai jobs by using the * search. Nothing comes up using my postcode.
I think a few people have failed the TNS test the first time round. If I remember right there's a couple of questions with more than one correct answer.

I've no jobs booked for this month or next month. Nothing showing locally and only an odd one further away. Have applied for 10 jobs with React. Expect to get my usual zero from them.
