I have the same. My second payment is for one job that had been in pending until two days ago. The first payment was shown as "paid" while this job was still in pending. I seem to remember this happening once before, but I can't recall if the second payment actually went into my account at the impending payment run, or if it ended up getting carried over to the next one.

Is it not that 25th is the day they are sent out. Doesn't mean with Bacs it will show up in your a/c today.

Click on payment on your RE page and it will tell you what the payments are. This is on Page 1 of this thread Tracy.

Yes they only have a set number of diners per area and show vacancies for the areas as and when needed.
They give a reasonable reimbursement and you can use vouchers/special offers etc just as a normal diner would. I usually get one visit a month out of them in my quiet area. For the first job, you can only apply for a visit in your hometown, if they are happy with that, you can apply for others. It is fastest finger first but you have to phone them to be allocated the jobs (until you reach gold or platinum status). They are a friendly company and not to be feared lol.

So are you saying that the spend on the meal is not covered by the expenses?
(unless you find vouchers...)

There's no mileage, fee or parking.
It's FFF and (obviously) there's a report to write up.
No regular jobs due to "saturation"

Doesn't sound too great to me TBHO

I quite liked the sound of it. Cheap nights out with the partner/friends. Not recruiting in my area though. Should i just keep checking? Is that how other people got selected?

Thanks for the info. Will give it a miss as I doubt if they do any place in my town. If it's national chains then definitely no chance. A couple of the bigger hotels might be included but I could be waiting a long time, if ever, for a job.

Thank you Hollypear - I have worked for RE for over 2 years now but have never had the payment showing as two payments going into my bank account one on the 23rd and one on the 25th for different amounts, I do have another 5 jobs still pending to be approved and there is nothing showing on their system to say which ones the extra payment includes. I also am aware of what the payment dates are for RE and how long it takes to get into my account. Thank you for the information though. All the payment information stops at the 22nd February, hence my confusion and i thought it was just me.

Actually just had a thought - since you've accepted the job such a long time ago but only got the brief explaining the purchasing requirements now you can maybe ring your scheduler at the MS company and try to negotiate a few quid extra? They'll probably just tell you to take a run and jump but shy bairns get no sweets

Thanks, I emailed them and the issue is now resolved. Spend has been increased to cover all costs. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.

Strange question, does everyone see the jobs on RE when alerts come?

Over the past two weeks i've logged in within mins of the alerts and rarley see anything. The odd pub, but thats it. Am i doing something wrong?

My status says active, i'm new but done two jobs which have been okayed. Anyone got any idea's why nothing pops up for me (i have quite a few post codes set)

Thanks

It is strange that you don't see any at all - do you log on shortly after the alerts? I noticed that by this morning all of the burger and all but one of the phones have already been snapped up in my area (there were loads showing last night). There are some jobs, like phone calls and a few others that I never see (I used to do loads of the sandwiches but can no longer see these when they are released) - I have given up wracking my brains as to why this is the case.
