The GFK betting shops today are 1200 - 1500 I think.

I am going to do mine and e-mail them the images of the slips today.

Good luck Paul

Did mine and just done the report.
BUT I did my bet on the footy for this evening, so if they reject it for that reason, I will not be impressed, they still have not responded to my email !!!

Argh! Just tested my pain threshold by having a MS leg wax and now i can't get in to RM to report my results. None of the login details work. I've sent them an email, but i don't suppose anyone will be there until Monday now.

Chelsea Girl I did the leg wax on Tuesday and none of the logins worked. So, I left them a message on the answer phone and they rang me back the next day to say they have problems with the logins for this company and then they asked me when would be a good time to take the results over the phone - so we arranged a time that was mutually agreeable. So, dont fret they will get back to you on Monday and do the same - everyone doing these has been effected.

Why would you not be impressed, the notes specify you must bet on a horse / dog to run whilst you are in the shop?

Unless you could not get the paperwork off?

Just got a little query if anyone can help. There's a bank job with GfK to make an enquiry about opening a new current account. It says you have to have an active current account. I'm just wondering why - what kind of info will the bank want to take? I'm puzzled because it says you must have an account in your own name. Mine is a joint account so I thought it might cause problems but now I don't see why it should. Surely you wouldn't be expected to hand over your statements or cheque book or whatever?

Has anyone done this job yet? It's not the one with four letters, it's one that I know as a two-syllable abbreviation but on Gfk they are calling themselves a word that starts with P and means really, really good.

I've contacted GfK before about these bank jobs as I don't quite fit the criteria; they've always said to go ahead with the job and just take on the criteria as part of the scenario.

The bank doesn't ask for your statements, cards etc unless you actually set up an account. If they ask just say you haven't got it with you!

You dont have to have a current account though, you can make an enquiry at the counter to assess interaction, request change for example then ask about opening an new acct.

Thanks for that! Is it best if I pretend the account is in my sole name? I guess that could have an impact because they wouldn't be able to open a new account without the other person's signature.

I thought the criteria was odd for this one. It says you should be working at least 16 hours... but then goes on to say you can be a homemaker or retired and not in paid employment. Has someone been studying their Schrodinger cos that sounds like a superposition of states to me! :rotfl:

Are you sure this is the same one? I've just done one where I had to interact with counter staff and then make an enquiry but that was the bank with 4 letters in the name. This one is like Mary Poppins... Practically xxx in every way!

I'm doing this one too! However I have an account with them already - do you think it would be ok to give a fake name and a relative's address?

What info will we actually be giving them? I don't work either at the moment (uni student)..

Fee was alright though so I took it..!
