    Hi,

    I've done a few jobs for TNS and being a bit of a numpty I can't remember how they pay you. :confused: Do you need to send off anything or does it go into your account automatically?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. :o


    You send them the receipt soon after the job by post. They pay into your account around the 28th. They also send you a statement to let you know how much you have been paid. HTH

    Any idea how long it took them to get back to you? I applied a week ago but have heard nothing yet.


    Took me about 3 weeks to get a email and then another 2 weeks for them to send me the paperwork

    i went to do the train station job and the bl00dy chicken royale was more than the reimbursement - aaaarrrgghhh!!

    i ended up throwing it in the bin!

    i also did a bar at the train station and the glass of wine i had to order was also more than the reimbursement - i am glad i wasn't going out of my way for these jobs.

    Send an email to
    [EMAIL="denise.hampton@retaileyes.co.uk"]denise.hampton@retaileyes.co.uk[/EMAIL]
    Put in the job ID and how much over you had to pay.

    I complained about these jobs and got the 40p extra :rolleyes:
    Hi
    I confirm these have been updated and you will receive full reimbursement.
    Kind regards.

    I'm so much in two minds about doing RE and Gap jobs because the fees are so so low.

    I think I might randomly and anonymously write an email to these two to explain this. Anyone with me?! Viva la revolution!
  • Well at least you are all getting jobs!! I've had two offered on GFK, one of which I couldn't do coz I couldn't take my baby and the other a girl called me minutes after I accepted the job to say it shouldn't have been put on there! On RE the only jobs which are showing up for me are on the Isle of Wight which are really worth doing once I've paid for the ferry over there let alone getting to the ferry in the first place and then getting to the job on the other side of the ferry!!!

    I would be but i don't think it will make a blind bit of difference. They will probably just reply saying they are trying to remain competitive in the market. I'm just not going to do these kind of jobs which is probably why I only average about 12 jobs per month. Last time I did a gap job was in November and now doing another next week.

    Don't worry sam, I'm in the same boat (oops no pun intended) - I certainly don't get offered that much as my area is incredibly competitive, but I rather do 1 that earned well rather than 3 erm !!!!!! ones from RE or Gap!

    I'm going to be far more selective and keep of Gap and RE now, I rather get one good one from say GRG, GfK or Aba-i than deal with the whims and daily dramas of Gap.

    But so many people snap these jobs up within minutes - they're not going to give a s**t what you think or anyone else for that matter. They are getting over 250 applications a day from new mystery shoppers. The ball, as they say, is in their court!
  • Does anyone know an easier way to do a job search on Abai? Do you really have to keep going back to the home page and selecting the client and then seeing if there is anything available from that client in your area. It takes me about 15 minutes to do a full search - and doing that several times a day is rather time consuming.
    Why can't they just list all jobs available in my area with all clients all at once like RE and GFK?

    If you've been paid by them before and have sent off your bank details etc., already, they pay into your bank account.

    No, I've not been paid by them before. These are my first jobs. Would I have sent my bank details with the contract I signed? :confused: I honestly am a numpty at times.

    Many thanks for all the replies.
