    Really? The last 3 times I applied for my local cookie assignment (straight after it got posted on the alerts thread) I got the message that I'm not eligible, I asked them about it and got told it was just someone beating me to it everytime.

    It used to be that anyway, although I must admit I haven't tried to apply and not got one for a while which is surprising considering the number of new shoppers that are apparently out there so it may have changed.

    Katie says the job is still there though so that is not the problem. There is definitely a limit on accounts now though as Jazmyn mentioned it on Saturday morning.

    It can't be that someone has beaten me to these ones...they're still there.

    As it's on the clients website I'm happy to "name" them, as they've done it themselves!

    I think they used to also be on the website of their High Street department store, and the receipts for the high street fashion store used to include a link to sign up.

    Yeah you still have to register with Abai to sign up.
  • A friend of mine who also does a few MS visits done a petrol visit at Harthill services a few few years back and was propositioned in the toilets by a businessman.


    Did they accept??
    Probably the only way you'd make any money on a RE assignment :D

    I am getting increasingly frustrated with a certain MS co who have told me for 4 weeks running that my cheque is in the post. I am taking legal action on Friday but really want to name and shame them all over the web. I'll start with this site if I don't get the chq tomorrow. I might start a blog about this company to really send home the message to everyone - including clients, to steer clear of them.

    Don't be shy-Name and shame!

    I assume it's Service Science?

    Have you been paid yet?

    Stingy RE:
    The re-imbursement is only sufficient for one of the couple and even then in some of their posher places it doesn't cover that.

    Tip
    However quite a few actually re-imburse the WHOLE bill (I think it's easier for them) so you may get away with more spending :D

    Yes. Miraculously turned up in my account this morning.

    Tip to Newbies: don't work for them unless you like either working for free or enjoy spending 10 hours over several months chasing payment and threatening legal action, being lied to and have your blood pressure go through the roof.
