    Aba sounds great although from my experience they do a whole load of companies, all with their own web sites for logging on - making listing it a little difficult!

    Am I right in saying that?

    Also, if anyone wants me to add some to the first post let me know and I'll do it asap! :D

    ABA are a nightmare so far. Registered last week and no jobs at all. Called up today and given a different link; registered again and - no jobs at all, even though he told me the list of jobs that are on there.

    Will call up once more next week, but seems like too much work to be honest.

    Why do they put them all up at once? It makes the site soooooo slow :confused:

    13 pages of assignments, tigergold? Wow!! I've got a search saved of all my areas and that was only 4 pages. Mailny greasy burgers and fried chicken (which I dont do anymore), lots of phone shops (fed up with them, done loads last month so having a break!!) but I have managed to pick up some travel agent, petrol, toy & coffee assignments :T :T

  • Ive a q?
    I am doing a gym MS at the moment and it finishes end of Feb and my membership will be cancelled if I wish, which I do as it is to much for me to afford every month but I was wondering - I want to join the gym for 3 months as I am loving it and they do a 3 month contract however if I go to join it will look strange rejoining a gym that I only joined beginning of Feb. Also after Feb they will reintroduce a £100 joining fee that they waviered in Feb - is there any way I can get around paying this as I did actually join in Feb but it wasnt for real? (you understand??)
    I don't know if these places are told they are being MS or not and what should I say if they quiz me on why my membership was cancelled as I cannot cancel it as it is a 12 month contract.
    Gosh its all so complicated!!! :confused:

    You might find that they have deleted your details from their database, glitterycloud

    I've done a few phone assignments, one for a nature-trust and one for a gym, where I had to give details and bank details for a direct debit, but was assured that all my details would be wiped from their systems within a few days of me submitting my online report - and they were. So I'd suggest you check with the MS company you did the assignment for and ask them.

    Hope that helps

    Yes my saved searches are bit general hence the 13 pages. I did have my searches really well organised but then they disappeared and couldn't be bothered to do them again. I think they put them all in one go so people take lots of jobs as it has been quiet over the last few weeks. I want to do coffee ones, i got an email today saying they needed coffee evaluators, filled out form, so hopefully i will be selected.

    I was with BARE but i don't want to save any more money!!!

    You do your mystery shops in the nude to save on clothing?
  • I am pleased to have got a few more jobs. Only 1 page of Gap for my 20 mile radius though. The betting jobs seem quite involved. I have a couple of purchase/ reimbursement jobs now...toy and convenience shops. Am I correct in thinking as long as I purchase what is specified I can keep the remainder? ie. 5 items as specified up to the value of £8 reimbursement. So I plan to buy 5 different items to the value of about £3 and keep the £5 not spent. Does this make sense?
