You know on stamp jobs can you erm buy savings stamps with a debit card?

Yes, there's nothing in itself to say that you can't buy savings stamps with a debit card (one of the authorised ones of course) but check your notes each time as it changes like the wind.

Interestingly on my one for this Sat, it doesn't have the usual list of what you can and can't buy, but near the top of the first page it just says "Do not buy savings stamps", whereas on previous jobs, this has been somethng you could buy.

It usually says you can't buy currency, which is why I used to do these ones (for the "free" cash) so at least that's a bonus this time.

It's a "PK Maxx" one, if that makes any difference - tax disc and grandfather forgetting his PIN (I'm not surprised - he's dead, in my case!)

I e-mailed them back asking them what to say. I mean, seriously, if some stranger handed you a black envelope and didn't say anything and walked away I'd be calling security. I know I'd definetely ask who they were and what I was being handed.

Re: Gap, does anyone know how you tell them your bank details? According to the FAQs you just type them in on your profile page, but having had a look the only question they ask is for your bank account number - surely they need a sort code, bank name, etc? Also some mention of SWIFT, IBAN, etc., which means nothing to me! As usual, no helpful info on the website. I've already done some jobs for them so want to make sure they pay me for them! Any ideas?!
