The main invite-only client was the first to pay by BACS, last year, when there was the postal strike, to ensure that the super shoppers got paid on time.

I'm wondering what is going to happen with the stores that are paid by giftcard?

The "super-shoppers" client isn't their main invite-only client, but yes, you're right, they were the very first shoppers to be paid by BACS.

Can't remember if I've had a run in with Mel. Definitely had a few with Sarah...

There are loads of beds visits on RE where you have to make a purchase and the reimbursement is £10. What on earth can you buy in these shops for that amount?

Pillow indeed! Some of their pilows are just under the limit as I recall. Either that, or a fitted sheet or a pillowcase or something....

In a similar vein, I've just accepted an RE jeweller's visit. Any idea if there's anything even close to the reimbursement limit? I've been on their website, and 99% of the stuff is £40+...

Not sure which chain it is as I haven't seen them but maybe things like earring backs, jewellery pouches, jewellery cleaner etc if they sell stuff like that?

This company shares its name with a university (I can't see that gives the game away, though I suppose you can rule out "Manchester Metropolitan" as a first guess.) But yeah jewellery cleaner was about all I could find. I'm now wondering if I have any female presents to buy soon, and just to overshoot it for that purpose...

Entirely up to you. Whatever you go for though don't rely on RE jobs to supply to rest of the money to pay for it or you'll be working all month lol.

I'd love to see the feedback from their shopper questionnaire. Have a feeling they won't be publishing the results!!
