    AA Are struggling to allocate their jobs, I said I may be able to help with one in the north of the county, what would the fee be? standard fee (1.5 burger fee) my reply is that it wouldn't even cover my petrol, suffice to say I never got a reply...

    Same here, called and asked if I could do two for them but there was no mileage and no increased fee. I think they have just "sacked me" oh well, I'll live.

    With regards to Mimi's alert about phonecalls to increase points on one of the unnamed companies....
    Do they show up in your area or outside your area?
  • Regarding AA's bus job, I received a collective email offering 6x the fee - it was sent again a couple of days later, so even that wasn't motivating anyone! A few other jobs were offered at double the fee, which still isn't amazing IMHO...

    It would be pretty convenient if I took those buses anyway, and had a couple of hours to spend in the depot - at the increased fee, mind! The original fee was beyond pitiful for the amount of time needed for the work involved, even if the questionnaire was short (which isn't usually the case for AA!).

    Never happens to me either :( I couldn't imagine doing this job without a car! I live within walking distance of my city centre and a couple of neighbourhoods, but I get so much work beyond that.
