    LOL. Hark at thou. You back at platinum status love? Does anyone dine for Service Scan? Now their dines are twice as hot as secret eating company. Their reimbursement is just short of a ton. My toned frame is getting fuller by the minute!

    Does Service Scan require/prefer people with MS experience or none?icon5.gif

    I signed up for Retail Eyes last week. I completed my first shop on Sunday and I now have 12 points and "active" status.

    Right now, the only things showing up are airports. I have my search area set to 20 miles so I don't think I'm being too restrictive. Am I doing something wrong or are there just no jobs available?

    Do you get better jobs come up once you have more points? If so how many points do I need to get before I see the better paying jobs or the hotel stays etc?

    No, points are largely irrelevant, I've been told by RE staff. You'll just have to wait for new waves to be uploaded. Do ensure that you have selected all the various types of assignment options that you are interested in, and click update. Also you can list more than 1 address, ie home, work, friend, etc. Good luck!

    Called them up, and got my answer, it doesn't matter, it's just for them to know if I have any MS experience or not.

    Nope, you get the same tat showing on Retail Eyes no matter how many points you've got, hotel stays (I think) are often only available mif you've registered a business email address.

    Retail Eyes are amongst the lowest of the low (pay wise)

    Oh. That's a shame. Seems a bit pointless then. See what I did there?:j

    Yes, I've added a couple of addresses and set all the filters. I've also registered my business email address so hopefully something will come from that.
    Good luck!

    Thanks!

    Which are the better ones?

    Actually I don't think I can ask that, so please ignore it if it's against the rules! :o

    you will get paid £9 by the company on pay day but you will already have bought your meal.

    if there is a fee and reimbursement you will always get paid the total of those on payday. but you will need to buy whatever its is when you do the job.

    eg music shop, no fee, £10 reimbursement- you will need to spend £10 when you do the job but you will then be paid the £10 back on payday and can keep the item

    Thank you very much. I though that I would only get £4 and then it is a little bit pointless to go.

    Argh! That brief panic when you remember you have shops booked in that need to be done in the next hour!
