thanks

ive used my nectar points to buy a soundbar and subwoofer this week so im pretty happy with how thats worked out but thats them nearly all gone
so looking for other options as dont want to have to build up a large number of points over a period to get something out of it.

might switch them to BA avios airmiles and get a nice holiday from them... have enough to get as far as dubai at the moment (just not enough to get back )

presume you've read the above but if not...

Why waste avios on long haul you still have to pay taxes and charges on a free ticket worth less than 50 quid. Avios are only good in Europe and for long haul upgrades if they are ever available

yeah i had these left over from the old ba miles before they switched and started charging taxes...
maybe some european trips in order
is a pain that ba dont fly from bhx though so it means travelling to an airport which often means its just cheaper to buy a ticket from bhx

Is anyone else getting a bit bored of the "Good Morning Team" emails from DS? Looks like they are getting a bit desperate.

I've got to admit, MS agencies are a bit bonkers. I phoned RE for £5 mileage on a visit that wouldn't shift. They said no. I got a telephone call back 10 minutes later saying "will you do it if we give you £10 mileage?". Obviously I agreed. Same scenario with ABAI. I know I shouldn't be complaining but am I missing something?

Speaking to the right people is the key with both if them, ringing on the off chance is a lottery, ringing and speaking to the lead allocator or project manager gets results I've found. The lack of inter team communications at MF is staggering for a people company though.

Speaking of receipts, I've got a drinks only visit for the secret eating lot. Anyone know if a card receipt is ok or do I need an itemised? Not really a receipt sort of pub.

Hi may I join. I'm new and keen. Have signed up to a couple of agencies. One to do with plants so to speak.

Have a main job but I thought this may be interesting.

Bit nervous about putting bank details on the sites.

Got rubbish email about product testing but weren't remotely interested in me just marketing ploy.

LOL. I've enough Tesco points to fly me to Sydney and back at least 3 times.

If anyone has Tesco points, they are currently doubling up via their boost on Tesco.com. So if you see a television priced at £300, you would only need £150 points which would double up to £300.

Hi


You can name mystery shopping companies, just not their clients or fees. Some of the more specialist agencies who do more audit / product recall work prefer not to be mentioned though.


If you are referring to Grass Roots they are a reputable company so have no worries about entering your bank details, it is so they can pay you :-)


You will find several of the more common shopping companies on the front page. If you are not sure on a company post their details here and we will be happy to help.
