RE/MF used to reimburse for you to take someone with you on restaurant visits, they never seem to do this now, always just stating you can take someone but they won't pay, ugh, gee thanks! More often than not I struggle these days to actually fit what they want me to purchase within the reimbursement amount allocated and usually go over grrr!

So don't do the job, simples. I've been in touch with them about jobs they cant shift, told them what it'll cost them for me to do it. If they pay it cool, if not then I won't do it. If you will be out of pocket doing the work then...*ahem* DONT BLOOMIN WELL DO IT!!!

BUN said it yesteray and I totally agree, if the fee isnt good enough, dont whinge, pee moan and b1tch about it on here, we all know the fees are crap, just dont do the job.


Wow, apparently I'm in a ranty mood today, wheres DPJ? He'll usually say something I can vent at :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think I will also add my opinion and I think it should be important to remember, dont think your doing MF a favour by doing this and they will be more productive for you in the future because from what I read all the people who moan and groan about fees they don't and they won't and they never will be. You won't become rich with them and will probably ALWAYS run at a loss by taking their calls. The only benefit I can see coming from MF is for new shoppers who don't really know what they are doing yet. MF will send your reports back and make silly questions and they will challenge photos that have the slightest blur and ask for another one so if your new to ms then yes take their calls to learn but if your looking for good companies go back to the 1st page and have a look through the suggestions.

Does that mean you went in when you were a child?

And aren't you meant to be a regular to accept those jobs? Or have they changed the rules since the fees were nearly halved?

....... Pish taking leeches.

Yep - but not quite a misspent youth - used to go with my auntie when she put on family bets on big events like the National.
& these jobs are for newbies (leechy bookies gauging how to widen their appeal?) They appeared in the dozens then just dissappeared - I guess snapped up by curious people like me who want an expenses paid way to find out what goes on in there.

Thanks for the help guys. Maybe I'll bet on something paralympic.

Hi all

I have been with MF/RE for the last year and a bit and watched the fee's go down and down. It's a real shame as some of the jobs I enjoyed doing like the train station shops, underground sandwiches, bookies etc

but now I see they have dropped again by another 25p!

I have actually now started emailing them and saying I am willing to take the task if they up to fee. 9/10 they have done so I can't complain about that.

It's the bookies ones that annoy me the most, some of those used to have a standard £ fee for a short clicking report.....now £

As much as I /we hate them. As detailed in the title thread, fees shouldn't be listed here

You can only accept a certain amount (2 I think?) and then they all disappear so if you already have your allocation it might not be that they have been snapped up in your area?

Just a general question on MF. Ive done quite afew assignments and my score is getting larger (about 280 ish) is there any link between the assignments offered and this? looking about people seem to think not but does anyone have an idea. You would have though that if you have a high score you have "proved" your worth or am I being far too logical?

It has been categorically stated by MF staff that those points arent worth the pixels used to display them
