It's when someone has cancelled the job after the shopping date-the system puts it back on automatically
If the dates are extendable RE will change the dates in office hours if not they'll just remove it

Could anyone tell me why some of the available assignments on RE seem to be for past dates?
I'm showing one just for 8/5 to 8/5
and another 9/5 to 9/5.... and we already just into the 10th?!

And isn't annoying when you see a job listed that you walked past that day and could have easily done! :mad::mad::mad:

But at least with RE you can console yourself with the fact that you wouldn't have got paid much for it, and think of the time you saved on their long winded reports!!

Saying that though some of the pub ones have been really reasonable lately with regards to the length, and relevance, of the questions!!

I agree. And the health food shop wasn't too bad either. Have started working for them again on the odd occasion if I'm hungry and in the area.

What I love about RE are the B2B calls. A good fee and the report is fairly straightforward.

Thanks for all the RE info, i've just signed up with them so it's good to hear from the experts on here.
The money doesn't look great, but if it's somewhere i'm going to be anyway I don't mind popping in for a free lunch!

I want to sign up with another company where you can select your own assignments as well, any recommendations?

GR and GFK are very good, do loads of work for them. Also get some pretty good work from Tern

I've just signed up with a load of MS companies and some of them don't seem to be offering me any work at all, but I've already had a few jobs for Amber Arch and ABAi. Maybe they're easier to 'crack' for a newbie.

I'd written off GR and Tern, GR has had 0 available assignments in my area for over a week now, and Tern has had the same video assignment up for a week in my county, and that's all. So I should carry on checking their job boards?

Now mine is completely the opposite - never do anything for AA or ABAi, but loads for GR and Tern.

With GR, its all about fastest finger first, as soon as you see they have emailed, you will need to log on quick to avoid missing out. I quite often pick up work like this, simply by having emails go through to my phone so I know they have emailed etc.

And I dont ever "write off" companies. I am registered to them all, if they dont email then they dont email. It never hurts to just be registered and keep and eye out.

its getting less each day as new shoppers are joining and some firms are cutting fees to a ridicoulous amount. it really can be hit and miss one week you can earn loads and nothing the next its works well as a second income but i woul not like to depend on it to pay the bills
it use to be a real good earner with a lot of freebies
it all depends on the area and how many shoppers there are
