    jtb2412- I depends on how long they take to mark it. (sound like teachers)

    I have had some that have been verified within an hour and another actually took 2 weeks (very rare)


    HTH


    THank i have one of the travel one . can you apply for more than one or will they say that they are too similar?

    mumofjusttwo, the assignment has already been marked. I got 4 points taken off for a late submission, but I couldn't submit because THEIR website was down. I did ring and they said that I wouldn't be marked down and they'd made a note but hey presto, when I logged on, i'd been marked down ! grrrrr

    Never mind, I've emailed so i'm sure it will be sorted.

    It's just that I can't see any payment pending, or at the bottom where it says next payment the amount is a big fat zero ! Am I looking in the wrong place?

    There are stilll travel jobs on RE - so it may be JTB that you can only do one for a particular company. When you select the job alll the others disappear.
    mum of 2 - If you can see the jobs then select another, maybe someone can confirm this.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I did a sandwich shop for RE last week, all the others in my area disappeared. As soon as I completed the paperwork, the other jobs in my area all reappeared

    It may be that your details will be on someone's database somewhere so you can't do 2 jobs, but it may also be that once you've submitted the results, you'll be allowed to do more of the same.

    Yes that is correct bylro - you can select a job , do the job and submit paper work, then if there are jobs still availble for the same company ,, you will be able to select more.

    I have a stamp mountain, and was wondering what other people buy with £5 in the postal store.

    Mobile phone top ups or post some parcels from Amazon/ebay sales.

    Have just been accepted by Optimum Contact but have a quick question. The fee for the bulk surveys - is that per phonecall or something else, am a little confused so any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Someone did answer this, but I thought the answer was misleading.

    OC pay you PER COMPLETED SURVEY, FOLLOWING AUDIT. It doesn't matter if you make 10000 phone calls, if you get only one completed survey you will be paid only one fee. And that assumes that the one survey you complete passes their quality control checks.

    Sorry for the bad news!

    Jobbingmusician, thanks for that. I did think that was the case but really appreciate the clarification. I had someone phone me recently regarding a customer service satisfaction survey for my bank (I was expecting the call so knew it wasn't a scam lol). I was happy to do the survey but i'll bet i'm in the minority !

    I'm still looking into it at the moment and wondering what's the best way to enter the information whilst calling (write it or get a hands free speaker phone and type the info as the call is being made). Still trying to suss it all out so any hints/tips would be very welcome :D .

    HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY, TO ALL OF THOSE WITH IRISH ROOTS!!


    I have a stamp mountain, and was wondering what other people buy with £5 in the postal store.

    I know that people buy items for packaging ebay items, and someone else buys euros to take on holiday.

    There is a list of items for the POST visit where a debit card is required, but what about for the other visit type where you can use cash?

    Has anyone opened an account to pay money into? paid water or phone bills? brought lottery tickets?

    I'd love to know what others have done.......:j

    Never paid bills as all ours are direct debit, but I do buy greeting cards and giftwrap, which come in handy, too.
