I have not received my buy back invoice either. I want my money! Got an email last night about new visits they have. I replied within 10 seconds as to which ones I wanted. She replied 3 hours later saying sorry they have all gone. Does that mean people emailed her back before I did, i.e. 3 seconds after the email came? I don't like that company. Why bother mass emailing when they have already got special shoppers they allocate everything to!

Also, does anyone have a telephone number for Bare UK? Is there a restriction as to how many jewellery visits one can do?

My buy back invoice has been paid - dosh is in my bank account today.

I had the same thing happen - the email popped into my inbox when I was on checking. Immediately answered saying I could do it, then got the 'sorry' email 2 hours later. But at least this person actually responds to everyone. The person that allocates the cinema jobs doesn't bother responding if you are unsuccessful :mad:

I have managed to get a few jobs with them, but still obviously not on their superstar list.

On a good note, just done a last minute travel job for ESA with nearly double the fee :j Easy peasy.

Hmm, here's a question. On GFK I was assigned two bank jobs (my first ever jobs with GFK). The coversheet just says "between 9-5" but when I accepted it I entered a time period (morning, lunch or afternoon) and on the questionnaire I had to say in which time period I visited. But I could have chosen any of them.

In actual fact, yesterday I ended up visiting in a different time period to what I'd originally put down, and will be doing so again today. Should I be worried?

What I do is... change the time period on the allocation, then complete the form. Never had any problems so far.

Yep, I do the same and it has never been queried.

Does anyone know how many brochure drop jobs with ESA can be accepted in a single wave?

Perfect - thanks! I've never had timeslots for a shop before so wasn't really expecting it... fingers crossed they won't mind about yesterday's one... :cool:

Looking at the Alert posted by Blindman, definitely decided (if I needed more proof) that React is one of the best, like the way they revise the brief every now and again so that the staff supposedly don't spot shoppers, as opposed to some (ie Burgers) where you might as well wear a sign around your neck!

Oh.... and there are 'Speedy' Coffee assignments as well as friendly, just wish there were some near me :-(

TNS have now got "Urgent calls" for existing bank customers to apply for credit cards! - haven't increased the fee though - let alone to a level where it might be worth considering!
