It is a bit less, but they're great jobs for the fee, especially if you pick up one of the top of the range models like I have . I'm quite happy to be paid this fee to drive a car that I can't actually afford in real life for half an hour!

It's actually 37.5% less - not 'a bit'!! :eek:

Maybe we're talking about earlier in the year because I've just looked back and I did one in November for exactly the same fee as they're offering now. And I agree that a 37.5% drop is huge, but we all know the MS companies are dropping their fees (unfortunately) but I still think they're worth doing. But that's just my opinion and I appreciate it's not neccessarily everybody else's.

Hi I wonder if anyone could answer the following question.
I managed to get a ms for a restaurant with RE during the week.This restaurant has a special deal during the week and I can't read anything on the brief about ordering or not from this menu.Has anyone ordered from this special menu before and had it accepted?

Probably best to contact RE first to check, some companies are fine with using vouchers/deals, others just want a straightforward shop.

I've noticed a couple of jobs recently that are video assignments. I've not done these but am willing to give it a go. I assume you need to buy your own stuff, but how exactly do you do it? Do I need a handbag with a hole in the side?

They must have dropped the fee in November then, as the one I did in August was for the higher amount!

I agree with serendipity, phone RE, but usually they state quite clearly if you have to buy certain things or not buy certain things. My policy is if it doesn't say you can't use a voucher, buy a meal deal, buy a gift card etc., then you can!
