    About to do an RE phone enquiry.

    Do I have to ask the mos if they are wearing glasses or do they tell you?

    There is nothing in the notes and RE arent responding to my calls.

    This is a joke isn't it?

    I started with retail eyes last month and am really surprised by how much i have earned so far.
    Im confused by the bacs system tho and dates. Its showing as a payment on the 10th June on the RE page. Is this the date that they done the bacs ttransactions ? If so is 3 days normal before it clears into my bank ?.
    Thanks

    Yep, the 10th and 25th of the month as stated on RE is when they make the transfer, so will take a few days before you see it in the bank.
    Glad you've earned a fair amount, you must have done quite a lot of jobs to earn lots from RE, although if the reimbursements are for things you would have paid out for anyway it works out ok.
    Have you registered with HMRC yet, don't forget :)

    That's right, and it's working days so if you discount the weekend i'd expect it to arrive tomorrow/Thursday ish.

    GR is the 15th working day of the month so payment wont land until a week today (21st). The money is usually in your account on those days with GR though.

    No one. Unless you want to eat garbage, then its GAP. Looking forward to my finger licking bucket of grease next week! :)

    Really? I just got an email about holidays / spa jobs and it was from the same person I've always spoken to ...........
