Fee online now up 25% from original fee. 4 of these jobs to allocate and 3 days to allocate them in.

Will wait another couple of days...:D

They tend to jack the fees online if the jobs don't shift or off the beaten track a bit. Even seen higher fees for same job but in a different town only a few miles apart - not sure why though.

If anyone needs to do a visit with purchase to technology store,
there is £0.91 Flash all purpose cleaner spray (near the washing machines/dishwashers). Well, it's not very exciting thing to buy but it is less expensive than batteries .

Has anyone done one of these ABA online community panels 'Buzz on the Street. (I got sent an invite and got selected) It appears you have to answer questions over three days and then go online in a community. Pay is quite decent - just wondering if anyone has had any experience....

I learned my lesson today. I agreed (through a phone call) to carry out a bank audit before reading the Shopper Instructions and all the 'if' and 'when'. I had to email them and cancel the visit. Got a call few minutes later from someone senior who was trying their best to 'resolve any issues'. I decided to stick to my guns and politely declined to complete a visit. I am probably in their 'black book' now. Never again.

Like you, I've just turned down a new Bank Account visit, after agreeing on the phone to it. I'm not a big fan of...."Just when you're about to sign for the account, politely decline". So I said no. I'm not big into those sort of visits.

I did it, did what I had to (answered a few questions on two days) and a cheque came a week later

I took part in one just before Christmas. They want lots of detailed answers and you have to take part in all the tasks to complete and be paid. IMO they're definitely worth doing.
