    What's up with RE? Not seen any new visits on there for almost a week!

    Haven't seen much for about a week too. Seems quiet at the moment, just when I have the time to do more visits.

    Not far from you but have to be honest its not me with ALL the restaurants :rotfl:Hubby works away so I pick them up if he is home but the italian bros was me :D You must be the one who gets every ESA job though ;) I cant get a single job with them - think next time I apply for one I am going to offer bribery in my submission see if that makes a difference :eek:

    Nah, not me with the ESA jobs either!! Did a fair few egg shops a few months back, but none really local! Think the only thing I've done for them over the last few months has been a charity shop... I'm on SA but someone else either gets there before me or the jobs are to be done Mon-Wed (when I can't travel 'cause I work 9-5!).

    Think competition must be stiff for the restaurants LOL (I did manage to get a pizza buffet near you the other day though ;)).

    it does seem strange the GFK thing.

    I have 4 emails (to different organisations) but within 7 days of each other. I'm going to be miffed if they take the results then not pay.

    I have two non-customer emails booked for Monday. but it says:

    You are only allowed to accept 1 call or email (UBM12188 and
    UBM12189) for each scenario per company e.g. only one A**x
    Scenario 1
    • You may only complete ONE customer and ONE non-customer
    call or email to any organisation during any given week.
    Should you allocate or complete more, you will not be paid for
    these
    • If you accept more than you are allowed they will be
    deallocated and you will not be paid for them.

    So, from the notes i assume i have overbooked? but they have not been de-allocated.
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    Yeah See ive done a few of these and I took it to be 1 email and one phone call PER week for ANY company.. but with in that only one can be customer one can be non customer.

    Funny enough when i first did these i never got them deallocated. I wish GFK would ONLY show jobs that you can do.... annoys me when i see all these jobs and half of them im not able to do because of one reason or another.

    Yes! Just came on to ask the same thing. Server error message is appearing.

    I also thought that you could do 1 customer and 1 non customer PER organisation. but a guy at GFK told me I could only do 1 of each per week in total so I have not dared do any more as I dont want to do the work and not get paid.

    Not sure how long it takes to see released jobs on re? I had just accepted a web job but have now released it (can't find what I usually buy in store).

    Well, I shall continue with mine (unless they disappear) and we'll see if I get paid! At least it's not exactly much loss if I don't.
