Has anyone else had the apology from TNS this morning? Is it just my imagination or was it TNS that sent out everyone's emails last time too?

Yep, they were taking steps to make sure it never happened again that time as well................... maybe they need a third party to mystery shop the reliability of their email distribution :rotfl:

That's the forth time that I can remember.

As someone who is putting together a nice scam mystery shop product I really thank them for sending me their database of shoppers ;-)

That's a joke by the way...

But my main concern is the reimbursement. Already clocked over £200 in expenses on these, and that's likely to rise by at least another £100 (one ticket alone came to £84). Looking at the sheer number of jobs they're punting, I hope ESA have plenty of staff ploughing through the returned tickets to allocate expenses PDQ.

It comes with the territory, you pay out and they reimburse you, if you were short of money you shouldn't have take the jobs.

Don't expect these to be paid before September's pay day on the 10th, if they do then great but I doubt it.

Whilst I do kinda miss the shopping and visits for TNS I am glad in a way I packed them in and asked to be removed... Once was bed enough but surely this has to be the 4th possibly even 5th time now?

This is why I haven't taken any of the really expensive tickets. Would still be nice for them to be in the August pay since I'm off on hols at the end

The train ticket gigs are a doddle, once you get the hang. Painful questionnaire that requires you to click a 'yes' answer, even when the answer is actually 'no'.

this is when a cashback credit card comes handy. as long as you pay it off every month

Aye, I'm in the same boat, 10th September will be an enforced savings scheme though.

Looks like that dining company has nicked a MF client, shame the reimbursement is as poor, some of them it will cost you to buy the least expensive options.

I just got an invite to retake a burger test which I failed years ago (mainly due to not having the answers opened in another window!). Passed this time. They must need new blood in my area!
