    I think you have to do some of the burger jobs, then you get early access to the stamp shop and other jobs...

    I don't really know how it works, as all the burger jobs have disappeared for me, but I still get the others available.

    Kman is correct, they give priority access to some of the jobs for about 48 hours - convenience stores & stamp shops for example. Popular opinion seems to say that you need to do about 4 fast food jobs in the previous month to get this "priority access".

    The other thing they do is hold back a lot of the petrol stations to use as [STRIKE]bribes[/STRIKE], oops! I mean incentives to get people to do these fast food jobs.

    I've just received the email from a lady with an irish surname and yahoo addy (just incase someone else has too). Only worried that it may be one of those dodgy ones. Anyone else had this or know of the company?


    In Brief Bxxxxxxx Bxxx Pxxxxx do mystery-shopping visits to bars/clubs/restaurants in the UK.

    i.e. You go to a specific venue in your area, at a set time, order a specific drink and/or food dish and make observations on staff, service, bathrooms, and venue. Afterwards you fill in a report on what happened and email it back to HQ with receipt for the items you bought. You are given a choice of date to do the visit on.
    You will be refunded the drink/food and depending on the bar/time/type of visit you will be paid a fee of £10-£20 for doing the visit.
    This work is purely casual and shoppers to each bar chain must be rotated so there is no guarantee of income or the amount of visits you can have.
    It is not a part time work but we do offer work to all who are interested.

    If you think this is something that would interest you let me know.

    When you reply can you tell me:
    Where you are based
    Your age
    Have you excel
    Do you drink alcohol
    Are you eligible to work on a self employed basis
    Do you have any experience as a mystery shopper

    Any questions please ask away

    I'm new with GAP (in the last 10 days), I have done two fast food jobs & have got a few more booked & I've just picked up two phone jobs & a stamp job. I don't know how it works but if I've got to do burger ones to get the others then so be it I suppose. Don't tell GAP but I don't really like fast food that much lol :rolleyes: .

    I've just picked up my first two jobs for TNS, just after Christmas, wow, they pay for a bit of petrol :D . Makes going to nearby towns worthwhile & hopefully will be able to do a bit more now. Can anyone tell me what format their evaluation takes? I won't get my pack just yet.

    Did a job for BBP ages ago; easy job, easy questionnaire, good pay.
    No probs with them, all above board. :)

    I've done those jobs and it's not dodgy. The brief is easy to follow, the reports are nice and simple, and they pay promptly.

    The lady is a lovely person and she has an absolutely gorgeous baby :cool:
    Here I go again on my own....
