PS for those seeing GAP burgers on MF beware that they ask you if you have shopped this store and for what company....

I would not answer this as you can get into a bit of trouble and so can MF for asking the question!

The MF reimbursements only cover the test fee, they won't put that reimbursement towards any frames, I asked about that a while ago.

Maybe why the Scottish ones hang around

Oh that's what's reimbursed? Is that what eye tests cost? :eek: I've always had mine for free so wouldn't have a clue.

thats the problem and I actually thought I would call HQ on thsi one... its unethical and illegal to use fake names etc for purpose of scaming the NHS.

Tern at least get your names dates etc of the scottish ones and forward them to the head office so they don't go through the NHS.

MF does not.

Yes that's right you have to give the DOB and name you used so the NHS bit can be cancelled.

MF you only get the eye tests reimbursed, not any glasses. I did phone them a while ago to check and told them, as Scotland got free eye tests, I wasn't interested at that fee. They did offer more, but not anything like Tern's fee and certainly not worth it for the time taken for an eye test, travel and the lengthy writing up.

whitelabel

for future reference, for anyone wanting a free eyetest and not wanting to write a lengthy report, just use tesco - Free for everyone.
fully qualified opticians too

Just did a pub food and drink visit for MF. Had printed off all my paperwork and sat down to input the results. Once I clicked on continue a message came up saying

"Before you commence your assignment, you MUST contact XXXXXX on XXXXXXX between 9.00am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday, regarding important information about this mystery visit.

Failure to contact us at this stage could result in the mystery visit being invalid.

You will not be able to proceed to the next stage without speaking to a member of the Market Force' support team."

As there was no indication of this UNTIL I tried to put the details in at 7:30 tonight AND no one had contacted me wither by email or phone regarding this what are they up to? That wasnt there when I got my paperwork printed off or looked at the assignment notes. !!!!!!?

I've had this happen previously, there was a note on it somewhere. But, it was possible to print the paperwork etc without seeing it.

The good news is that it was just that they wanted to make sure I got the right one as there were two in the same building. I'd gone to the right place and I did get paid for it as normal.

Hopefully, it's just something like that and you'll be able to sort it on Monday.

I know tablets have been talked about on this thread before but I can't find what I'm looking for...is there a way to upload a receipt image on Aba-i's questionnaires from an iPad? I did some petrol jobs today but I'm not at home. I have my iPad plus my laptop but if I use the Internet on my laptop it's £5 an hour and I'd rather not pay it if I don't have to. The images I'm trying to upload are photos taken by the iPad but the little 'find image' button isn't highlighted when I'm typing the report. Any ideas?

That's not currently possible but apparently support is being added in iOS6, the next version of the operating system, due out in a few months' time.

Thanks Pete, that's what I thought. I thought i'd ask though. Oh well, £5 for an Internet voucher it is then.....

Actually, how strict are Aba-i with report timings? Do you think I could email and explain to them, then use my laptop to do the reports @ the local burger place over coffee in the morning?

They don't work over the weekend so if you send them an email explaining and submit the report first thing tomorrow you should be OK.
