Why do you keep applying? If they have said no, then they probably don’t want any more diners in your area? Am I missing something?

Yes, if you read my previous posts, advice was given to me to apply as a normal person (not MSer) ie write in normal style not report style as that's what they are looking for. And I only apply in central London which is where I live and where I've finally been able to apply.

I've been reading posts on it, and I'd really love to get accepted.

But why would you then apply a third time, if you have already followed the advice?

is it like the holy grail? kind of like a pinecone thing?

I don't know much about it except for the posts here, but sounds interesting and appealing enough. I only re-applied once after receiving the advice here, after being rejected twice for boasting proudly of my MS skills in the first 2 failed applications.

Yeah, but they will have your details from your previous application and they will think you are talking bullish if you have gone from a mystery shopper style application to a non mystery shopper type application.

My application was full on mystery shopping style and they took me on. Maybe I was just lucky.

Holy !!!!!!. Just been sent a remittance slip from REACT for an attraction I did in June. I’ve already been paid for it previously. Am I gonna get double pay? Wooohoo! Got a feeling the lady sending the slips out is probably intoxicated! :beer::beer:

no i dont think you will

ive just had a similar email but for something else I did and already had been paid for in july. Had one yesterday for one that hadnt been paid yet, so think its just some one catching up on the admin.

Same here. Still not done a job in the 10 months I've been signed up with them. I think my areas must be saturated with platinums and golds, so leaving nothing for the bronezes.

Still, i hold out for the email/phone call asking me to do an urgent job that would hopefully contribute to getting me off bronze level.

Did you get the payslip originally; when you first got paid? They may just be playing catch-up where they've missed the sending-out of some remittance advices.

Hmm .. interesting! One member did say that after reapplying in non-MS style he was accepted. So I hope I get lucky too:)

It really isn't that exciting, there aren't many jobs and now that my local regular place has shut down, I would have to travel a lot to progress up the levels so I wouldn't be too downhearted.

Awww flower. I seem to be picking up new ones every week. I get phone calls too asking me to do more, but I just can't fit anymore in, what with my busy schedule and what not. :D Where are you based?

Pet, I didn't get sent one back then, in fact, I am not too sure I even got paid. Will have to check my bank statement.
