  • Nope, Not until the new year, trying to finish my Christmas shopping too.

    One set of audits at the weekend and then nothing booked until 5th Jan, o have work booked until end of march, so will just look for fillers.

    Hope everyone has a nice Christmas.

    Anybody out there still working....

    Filling in my'spare time' joining new agencies for the New Year, submitting my self assessment form and strangely enough getting a regular load of surveys from Pinecone - seven in the last week. (Thought they sacked me as not received anything for months).

    Yeah same here. I used to do shed loads of not very good paying jobs in the past, but I just can't be bothered anymore.

    I do on average 5 visits per month, mainly ones with bonuses or places I would shop at anyway.

    I've had 4 off Pinecone this week. It's very on and off. Loads for a while and then nothing for a month or two. Can't really complain though as it is easy money and you don't even have to go outside. Woohoo!

    Hope you all have a fabulous Xmas. Let's hope fees sky rocket next year and everyone starts earning some proper moolah. :beer::beer::j:j

    I've done what I assume is my last fastfood visit of the year and have a couple of other planned visits, but don't expect very many more.

    I'm just over a year in, still doing a lot of fairly low value visits. I've done some audio but no video yet and I don't see me investing in a camera in the near future.

    I've become a bit more selective as time has gone on, but I may still be doing too many cheap visits. I rarely do reimbursement only ones though my main motivation is extra money so I like at least some cash.

    Still got plenty to do. Did 3 bonus visits today that were all phoned in to me this morning. Maybe it's the Christmas stress but the service was terrible on all 3 - never had that before.

    I have absolutely loads of newsagents to visit over the next couple of weeks. I even bought a cheap, 2nd hand android device off ebay so I didn't have to faff on when I got home. These visits are paying for the covert camera I'm buying in Jan. Oh yeah, I'm joining the pros! :)

    GFK seem desperate, the raduis from my post code seems to grow each time they upload either the banks or cars.
    I also have hundreds on my site. Given you'd only be credible doing your local bank it seems a bit odd. And I never do car ones but you can only select out one at a time so I wait and wait and let them disappear.
  • Does anyone know when React money will go in? I had an email last week saying they were processing payments on the 17th but there's no sign of any funds being paid yet. My jobs still all say "payment pending". I could do with the money to buy my turkey. :)

    I just checked my bank account and TNS is showing as coming in on Monday but not React and it's not in today either.

    Did a whole load of charity shops for REACT. Slightly miffed to find they're not reimbursing all of my required purchases, the limit was £5 (2 of the stores I visited were well under this). But one store I went into had a discrepancy at the till and so I was required to go back and make another purchase 30 mins later. Seems they have decided not to fully reimburse this, as it would take me over their £5 limit for the 1 shop. Seems pretty tight to me. Any advice? I shall be wary of doing any more of these if this is the case, as I have t donate items at my own cost as well.

    I think I am due this amounts, including the fees for doing these shops.
