Nope, it's not you, although it is only some of them that have been reduced. This happened a few months back but they dropped the number of questions. Then the following month it went back to the norm.

Well after speaking to someone at RE,they said the influx isn't always a good thing they are telling certain people after their first job services no longer needed as the reports are AWEFUL.

well there is hope!

I did think that the comments regarding proofreading had died down a bit. Maybe they have realised that we know what we are doing.

The RE reports repeat themselves time and time again. It would be interesting to see how many have been submitted over the last week or so with the answers 'please see previous answer' or 'please see answer to question X' as a response. I would Hazzard a guess that it's went through the roof.

A quick note for the Scots. In case you havent spotted it, Retail Active have put the Glasgow and Edinburgh railway food visits under England.

Is it the one with 2 drinks, 1 from A, one from B?? I got caught out by not reading that properly ths time as the Q says 'Two drinks from A, One from B' and I'd read it too quickly as Two Drinks, 1 from A, 1 From B'.

Maybe you're doing the same as all the others are so obvious!

One company allocated me some work that showed fee rates that were 25% less than they have always paid me. When I was chatting to the allocator on the phone, I jokingly asked which 25% of the report they wanted left blank. Needless to say, they put the fees back to the previous rate!:rotfl:

Does anyone know if you can use 2 for 1 vouchers at TMDC visits? I have a visit scheduled for next week, I've read the brief but there is no mention of not using vouchers for payment. I know RE don't allow it but am just wondering about TMDC.

Also, this restaurant accepts Nectar cards as payment. Do you think I'd be able to use my Nectar points as part payment and get reimbursed for the total amount of the bill as long as it's within the budget allocated?

Would love to hear from anyone who has had experience or any knowledge of the above.

Many thanks
MG.

I wouldnt use nectar points personally as it says about credit/debit card in the brief. Re vouchers I was told as ong as it wasnt a set meal, so they wont offer sides etc, you can use the voucher, ie 2 mains for 1 or similar
It says in the instructions for one company about vouchers. I'd phone if you're new tho, as I've been doing them a while
