I got on fine last night and I have signed in and got on fine before I came to the board!

Now GAP told me over this weekend would be the latest for the bookie jobs, I haven't seem them yet has anyone else?

There's a casino on RE at the moment (yes, I'm in ok) on Teesside - generous spending allowance.

josie

Still no sign of the bookies on Gap that were meant to be on by this weekend. Wonder if they'll come up today. Convenience stores seem to have disappeared from the list too - wonder if a new batch are about to go on.

Probably this afternoon whilst I'm doing some overtime!

Josie there was an email sent from GAP about the convience store yesterday.

You have the opportunity to see all the ****, ******* and ****** assignments available in December. At this stage we expect your exclusive priority access will be available from midday Monday 08.12.08 to midnight Wednesday 10.12.08.

Tizzy do you know how many jobs you have to do to get exclusive access? I'm not sure I can cope with any more takeaways but I'm hanging on in there in the hope of getting some decent jobs too.

Has anyone else been having trouble changing the dates on G*p recently? I've tried twice to change one and it looks like its going through OK and then when the assignments page refreshes, it's still the original date?
I complained several times by e-mail and finally got a response which completely ignored the issue of me being unable to change it and fixed the date for me but to a date that I cannot do and did not offer them as a possibility. Any work-arounds that you experienced people know of - short of cancelling the job altogether which is becoming increasingly tempting.

Its a shame really. They've always worked out well for me in the past; the pay was never great but I've always been paid for their jobs and they've fit in quite well with other stuff that I've been doing. But now the frequent telephone calls to do fastfood stuff and now this website mess is really starting to grate.

I've had this problem. I think it's something to do with their system not allowing two visits to the same place within a certain time so if someone else has a job booked there then you can't change yours.

They are hopeless with responding to any questions you send them. I've found it is best to send them a message telling them what dates I can do the job and asking them to change it manually if possible. That said .... by the time they get back to you those dates will have passed or you will have made other plans:rolleyes:

I don't get the frequent telephone calls to do fast food jobs as I'm vegetarian:p

Ah, looks like they'll be available to the rest of us at midnight on Wed / Thurs then. Thanks.

Hi eveyone

My first posting here! I logged on about a month ago keen to find some way to make to boost my income. Since then, following the advice here, I have registered with a couple of companies and have now done about 30 shops. I am now posting for the first time mainly to thank you all for the valuable information here. I have just completed enough to pay for our family's Christmas, which is great.

Also, on a negative note, I have just done my first jobs for G*P. I did five jobs across Thursday and Friday for them, after waiting for four weeks for an assignment. I did them all on time, according to the rules. I input each of them within four hours at the most. However two of them were very difficult to submit, with the system rejecting me on one question each. I won't bore you with the details but I have emailed the company, again within the time frame, asking for help and not had a reply for either query. I have now had two emails saying I missed my deadlines. Is this normal? I have paid out to buy products as instructed and am concerned that they won't pay as the postings on this forum suggest that they are very strict, even when its not the MSers fault.

What has been your experience please?
