yes i did that ages ago and i know they have them. Im really peed off with them, as thats money i cant really afford to have paid out and not got any back!!:mad:

Maybe Timne can add this to the bad points of mystery shopping, waiting for the money to get back to you, even when companies pay on time, it takes at least a month to get paid.

Hi Vicky

I'll be at the RE Audit Training in Lincoln. To be honest I went to the one in Peterborough because they emailed me and asked me to attend, though as I was out of pocket re travelling I thought I'd be cheeky and go to the Lincoln one as well as it showed on my list of available assignments. Also I'm not sure if I'm going to carry on working for them as I'm finding the whole set up to be far less than professional so this will be my chance to finally make my mind up. Look forward to seeing you there, I'm the sun-burnt panda with a perm!

Hi Linda.

Thanks for the info, I will see you there,

So far I have found RE to be the most reliable payer. I only started on the 1st of May this year on MSing, and they have already paid £368 and owe me another £404.

Gap seem slow my fitst payment with them is at the end of this month so we will see! I have found that although

RE have had a few problems with the site they always reply to emails unlike the others! so will see.

Blimey! Just pure hard work or do you do other companies as well?

Anyone here doing the RE Audit Training in Lincoln on the 26th June?.

Also anyone already done it, is it worthwhile, do they come up with Audit jobs once the training is done?.

Cheers

Vicky.

I've been to one of their audit training sessions. It seems as though they're expanding the audit side of things and want to have a team in place. We were told that they would put our names down, be sent our ID badge and have to 'sign' another contract on the RE website (therefore we're in place when more clients come up in our area). This never happened so I contacted them about the ID & contract and just had a snotty email back saying they don't guarantee they can give anyone work.

Still, was a nice morning out I suppose.

I'm guessing that's audits too, I don't think I've ever got that high before with RE; the most they've ever paid me in a month was ~£100!

I went to an audit training in London, and just a week later they called me and asked if I could do 5 shops in one day! They were all really far away from me (and from each other), so I declined. Then they called me again, so I accepted 2. The following month the same 2 showed up in my account, already allocated to me, so I happily did them again (since it pays about 4 times more than a mystery shop!).

Haven't received a badge yet though, but you can print out a letter of verification to show the store manager.

What's involved in these audits then?
