    Hi all,

    Ive been with Gapbuster for about a month and have done 3 jobs so far with them. Does anyone know when they pay you, I have emailed them. Also ive submitted my reports but have not heard anything further, do I assume my reports were ok? I have emailed them but recieved no response.

    you get paid the month following the one in which you did the assignment. So January jobs are paid at the end of Feb. If you don't hear anything from them, your reports have been accepted, you only hear back if they have an issue with one, or they are desperate for you to drive 50 miles for a soggy burger ;-)

    Cheers cherry_pie,

    Any ideas who their other clients are please? PM if you'd prefer...

    They have a few, catalogue shops, clothing retail, petrol and a few others, but you have to fit their shopper criteria for them to add a specific client. When you call them they'll ask you a few questions to ascertain your suitability for their various clients.

    Hi and welcome. GAP pay on the 25th of the month after you did the assignment so if you did the assignment of 14 January you'll get paid on 25th February 2009. HTH

    Please would someone be willing to PM me about picking up assignments with BARE? I have only just joined them & have had an email about car dealerships but I am not sure exactly what they want in the application on the website. I know they want the dates you can shop but I'm not sure about the other part :confused: . Sorry to be thick. Thanks a lot x

    I just spoke to someone at Abai and have filled in the Pulse survey. Does anyone know how long it should be before other clients are added. All I have at the moment is a value store.

    You should have asked them while you were on the phone. The only way to get new clients added is to either speak to them on the phone or send them an email - preferably with the picture of the cat with the sad eyes as an attachment! - just kidding.

    I think they want to know how many dealerships your willing to visit in that town area - the more you ask for will, the more travelling it may involve. They also want to know what car you will drive, maybe so you're inline with the typical customer that client deals with.
