  • I have a question.

    How many MF points do you have?

    I'm asking as I've just crossed the 1000 mark. I expect I'm way behind many as I'm a casual/hobby shopper who has taken many breaks. I first signed up 5 years ago.

    So.....How many MF points have you got and when did you first register? :)

    Up to you if you want to say how many points you have had docked for proofreading queries!! Lol!!

    Dont think they do anything, I am sure they have some obscure calcluation on thier site but how the info is tallied used is anyones guess,

    I Have just over 9000, but the jobs I do give 2 for completion and 2 for doing on inital date, rather than the standard 10+2. The only thing I have ever seen differenciate jobs on the MF system is Age/Sex not points earned.

    I was expecting to see some figures in the thousands but I didn't expect 9000. Wow! And doing 4 point jobs too. I didn't know such things existed - you must do different ones to me.

    Our automated grading system helps our shoppers measure their own progress over the jobs that they complete.

    It is not the number of jobs that have been completed, or the total score that counts, but the average score achieved on those jobs.

    This page will allow you to view all the points awarded so far.


    I have 369 and that was in a couple of years and I dont think Ive done anything for them in the past 4-5 years ? and my wallet feels all the better for it.

    My daughter has around 1500 MF points less than me. On her account job prices are lower and she doesn't get offered anywhere near the amount I do. Maybe you don't look hard enough

    Hers also sit with the proofreaders for longer than mine too which I'm guessing is down to points as well.

    Can I ask if anyone has had any problems with a certain pizza company and photos including 4 corners of the box?
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    I'm just short of 11,000 but I've not done much wrk 4 them recently since they reduced fees 4 jobs they previously offered more. I fought to get 10,000 to see if some thing would happen but it didnt so I don't take much notice of them especially as they don't tell u ur average which is what they judge or offer jobs on!

    The Bare no fee ones?
    The scenario reeks of "We'll reject this for any damn reason we want" from the client, even when Frontline did them for a fee I always wanted a bonus as the pizza was pretty much US once you'd finished with it.
  • I'm new to all this and I've read through the beginning of the thread and just wanted confirmation on the tax i should be taking off of any profit.

    I'm on a £34k salary in my main job ... so i should be looking at 40% of the profit i make from jobs to be parked away for my tax return?
