Just a bit of a information if it interests anyone. I did a mystery shop at a bank the other week, an account enquiry one were you go through the motions of opening an account. Anyway I decided that I would actually open this account to use as a dedicated MS account, something I had been meaning to do for ages and never got around to doing! By mistake I tick the box that says move my direct debits to this account from the main bank that I use. 7 days later I get a call from my main bank practically begging me not to move my business. Before I could explain what had happened they offer me £150 in M&S vouchers if I stay with them…result! I obviously agree with a massive grin on my face. Now believe me my banking is dire and if I were the bank I would have been rubbing my hands to get rid of my business. My OH, never one to miss out on a freebie, decides to try the same, got the same call yesterday with the same offer! So between us we are £300 better off for doing very little. Never known a bank to offer these sort of bribes before so may be worth a try if your game………

I hope someone can help. After a couple of years break I'm back doing some MS assignments. I'm signed up with a couple of companies including FT for the cinema/SPI checks. Reading back over the posts I've noticed lots of people mention "the cinema company who cannot be named" is this FT (as I've seen some people mentionn their name in full) or is there another company? If someone could PM me I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

So which bank is handing out these vouchers? I'm sure they don't all do it, although I wish they did! Thanks for your post.

React time and motion study. I've got a wee question for someone who's done one. Anyone around? (I started the form last night but was incoherently tired). There are really enough boxes! Do I just omit, say, one minute shop enquiries? Any thoughts?

I have just had the most unhelpful person call me from ESA! I tried to complete a burger assignment for them last night and the assistant told me that it would be a wait of half an hour for her to start cooking my food as she was cooking for a school. I obviously am not going to hang around for half an hour so came out from the place and left a message for ESA.

He asked me if I could return either today or tomorrow which I said I would try and do tomorrow but I could not guarantee it as we are going away. I did point out that if the same thing happens again I do not have the time to hang around waiting for 30 minutes for a burger.

:mad::mad:

The staff member from ESA did not even thank me!!!!!

Lol. I wrote to lloyds yesterday requesting they close my current account. I never used it and maintained a zero balance on it for about 6 months. I doubt I'll get any special offers to keep it open.

MY OH never used hers but they still offered the bribe, so you never know.
