I always treat the lack of fee up front as a big flashing danger signal, they want three elements completed and no fee mentioned for the completed visit. I'll pass.

Even for part 1 of a visit which is similar to A*****a , they dont even pay half of the fee.

Poor from GFK. Not into this cloak and dagger malarkey regarding fees.

I submitted a report for RA at 8pm last night and the reimbursement is in the bank this morning, that has to be a record! :T

Are you sure BACS payments usually take two working days to process. I doubt RA are paying extra to use the faster payments service for these small fees. Many other shoppers report seeing their payments pending in their bank account online the day before.

Are you sure this isn't for a job you did in December / November ?

One benefit of RA's chaotic payment regime is you get random payments when you least expect them, got a payment this morning that I though I already had, oh well :-)

Me too - and into the bank account I changed to AFTER doing the job.

Oh, you might be right. I had forgotten I'd done two little assignments for them back in December. In that case they've only paid 3/4 of what they owe, it just happened to be the same amount as the reimbursement.

Not hugely exciting though. Still not sure about being able to fit with someone elses timing. Then again somebody else might take it and make the decision for me............

These things are growing like topsy on my board. There now about ten which have appeared - some are in some very stange places, like private schools, miltary establishments - can imagine the joys of getting into those sort of places. Think you would need to be on the door step, to do the two visits - thankfully they are still quite a drive so am not tempted.

Three popped up on my board, one was in the local Uni, then they were all gone in about 2 minutes; I didn't bother taking any.

im still not going to take it, too much work for too little fee.

I was considering doing some, but the dates don't match the briefing notes and a lot of the one's showing either give a first or 2nd name only, imagine going, can I speak to Vicky? Oh I'm sorry which Vicky? :-\
