To be fair, aside from their lengthy (and occasionally daft) reports and not-so-great fees, I find RE to be pretty decent. Always been polite and generally as professional as any other decent company. Pay when they say they'll pay and pay quickly. They offer jobs that, despite afore-mentioned reports/fees, I enjoy doing. So please, if you don't like them, stop working for them - more fun work for me

PS: As I have said in the past in this thread, mystery shopping is not an important source of income for me so enjoyment is an important factor in some jobs I take.

Hi,
I'm not going to get into an argument with a comment that was made tongue - in - cheek re SUPER SHOPPER STATUS with another company ;)
LIke the rest of you I pick & choose my jobs & have done rather a lot of stuff for RE over the years & was merely pointing out my experiences of LATE with them.:):)
At the end of the day regardless of whether this is for enjoyment or an source of income everyone has a different tale to tell for most of the reliable companies.
I've seen people post horror stories with companies that I love working for !:D:D
iTS SWINGS & ROUNDABOUTS IS IT NOT ??????

Can someone who works for the company that cannot be named PM me please. I just want to check the invoice procedure, because I'm about to send off my first ones.

On another note, I feel really bad now, did my first test drive today and the chap was so good, I felt really awful knowing I wasn't buying anything.

Hi, can anyone answer the following please?

I have completed my glasses shop this weekend, and glasses/receipt off this morning.
however, completing my tax logger for the job, and confused about the expenses side of it.
Yes, I am being reimbursed for the expense of the glasses, and I am not of course getting the benefit of the glasses...
Therefore, I am getting confused over which jobs I put reimbursement for (i.e, jobs where I have to make purchase such as food, or drink etc where I AM getting the benefit!)
When it comes to my tax return at the end of the year, how do I differentiate between the two types of expenses, and how do I prove/disprove what I have had benefit for?!

Hope this makes sense!

if i buy something that needs to be returned to the ms co then i dont record it on my sheet at all as there is no benefit at all for you so glasses, shoes etc.. dont go on there, anything i keep or eat does go on!

That's what I do too. So all the super posh clothes and handbags etc for REACT, I don't put on. Same for expensive shoes and dresses for RETAIL MAXIM.

I think at the very bottom of the list there is an option so that you can see everything
