Why the secrecy ?

MS the Office

MS the Office will only accept registrations with a valid ISP linked email address, no Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail etc.

Can anyone here refer me to MSUK.

Before there are more of these requests I'd like to add a note.

The whole point of being referred by some one from MSUK is that they know you.

Now, I'll help out others on this MS thread when necessary, but I'm afraid I will not refer anyone that I do not personally know.

I'm sure everyone on this thread is an "Honest Joe (Joline)" and all that, but IMHO PM requests to me for referral to MSUK would be an abuse of their system.

Good news is that this thread along with the Alert MS thread give as much help and support as both the Office and MSUK.

BTW
Joining MS the Office is not as restricted and they offer an almost identical 'service' with (mostly :rolleyes: ) friendly members.
I would also suggest that you read the registration form when you sign up to the Office.
Observation and the ability to follow instructions are key to mystery shopping success!

Please can I advise that MS the Office doesn't accept free email addresses like hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc, we only accept email addresses that are linked to your ISP provider.
It does state on the registration form about the email addresses

wow - HP - didnt I email you???? I thought I sent a group email to lots of people who did reply, I didnt use the PM system here as it gets clogged up so quickely....

I really didnt want to offend anyone by not replying, I really thought I had replied to everyone eith in person on with a group email...

if those havent got through that would explain the zero replies I received!!!!!!

Yes, I think your/MSE's system must be faulty as I didn't get a reply either! No wonder you got so upset - you must have thought we were all blanking you......

Put yourself in the list of people you send the message to, then you will have an automatic check as to whether the message gets through.

I must be seeing a different Office to you Blindman as I find all the members there to be friendly, helpful, accomodating and not afraid to tell the truth :T . I am sure I saw you there most of yesterday, unless there is another Blindman about.:beer:

I've looked around for answers to this question but cant find any, could anyone tell me pls if I did a job for TNS (food or drink) and the amount that I spend is less than their limit, do I still get the full amount of only how much I have spent? I want to try and do some jobs with a little bit of £ rather than just free food/drink.

Thanks

It´s sunny in Spain and very hot.

I´m spitting blood though, as the MS company is still refusing to pay me the full fee. I rather suspect from something in their reply that they monitor this board. Well if I have ANY more hassle over payment, Unnamed Company, I will NOT be doing any more shops for you! You can find another mug to trail around in 30C heat for your paltry fees!

Bob it should say somewhere on the notes - at the end of the briefing it usually clarifies expenses and will say something like we will reimburse up to OR if you spend less just the amount you spent. If in doubt bob I would email your area manager

Isn't MSUK the site that got rid of loads of members without a moments notice a few years ago and the one that tends to be rude and cliquey. Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment

There was a "cat fight" a while back and several members went their own way and setup The Office.

I have no idea why, nor do I care.

I find both sites useful, however I am not a regular poster on either site.
