It's quite funny because recently they have had a lot with a building society and had to increase the amount (twice) that they were paying because no on was taking them up.

Indeed... I was considering putting it as SPAM, they sent me that job so many times by email!!! At least 5 times a day!

BAI have just given me a job I applied for on Sept 11th!

A bit annoying actually as I applied for 4 of these jobs, thinking I could do them all on the same day and save travel (I actually emailed them about this as in their T & C, but didn't get any sense out of them. The jobs are reasonably well paid so it is worth doing 1 at a time, though).

But I do think it's a bit cheeky to give me the job now (last night) as it has to be done by 30th! Fortunately I have some spare time this week.....

I have another dumb question... This is regarding a supermarket MS for TNS. You can buy anything, right, not just the stuff that's on the "shopping list" - that's just for evaluation purposes, yes?

And do you need to submit the receipt? And (Welshy will know this, no doubt ) is it okay to use money-off coupons at the time? And can I have R&Rs as well - if I'm lucky?

You can normally buy anything. Sometimes they put specific demands on you, like 'you must buy a bulky item' (I usually get bogroll) or 'you must buy a frozen item, or a fresh meat item'. You aren't expected to buy the stuff on the shopping list.

You are supposed to submit the receipt - when you complete your evaluation form there will be a sheet to print out stating you did the job. Attach the receipt to that and post it to their freepost address (on the form). Actually I often let these pile up (I do send them eventually!) and it never seems to affect the fact that they pay me.

AFAIK it's fine to use money-off coupons. Don't know about R & R as I've never done it - if you R & R do they keep your receipt? :rolleyes:

No, they give the receipt back, but they usually scribble on it.

Anyway, thanks for explaining it to me.

I haven't had any in a while I'm registered with GAP, Grassroots and Retail Eyes

Grassroots is my fav with quick payment (4 paid so far) and never had to spend (9 shops so far)
Retail Eyes 5 shops to date but no payments yet!
Gap only had one shop which has not been paid yet!

I'm going mad... all because I've signed up with too many companies! :rolleyes:

I've just remembered that some MS company I've signed up with asked for my photo... but I can't for the life of me remember who it was! Can't remember whether it was an email (can't find one) or on their site...

Any idea who this might be? The only thing I remember is they asked for a photo to be emailed or posted...

Or have I dreamt this up...
