Sometimes you can reschedule when this happens- maybe the deadline is next week? Worth looking at on the drop downs.

Is anyone having problems logging into the GfK site? I was inputting a report earlier this morning and it locked me out. I haven't been able to get back in ever since.

I see Gyp have changed the list of items you can order for their pizza jobs (but still no pineapple!) does anyone have any suggestions what the cheapest things to order are so I can stay within the reimbursed limit?

Thanks

We usually share the pizza and the starter and that comes in at just under the reimbursement, unless prices have gone up in the last couple of months.

Have you seen as well on Gap, on the stamp shop scenario that restricts what you can buy under stamps, it now says a minimum of 14 stamps!

I've always purchased 14 stamps in the pay by card scenario, it adds up to £5.04.

GFK's site is working fine for me.
GFK have "a submit before midnight policy" so if you leave the assignment until after 10 the following morning it gets automatically de allocated from you even if you were in the middle of entering the results.

If I had plenty of 1st & 2nd class stamps I'd get 5 x £1 or 10 x 50p which is more useful for parcels, if you've got to put a few quid on, or you end up sticking about 10 stamps on!

Still not sure why on some scenarios you can get currency and not on others tho.

Does anyone else have any problems ready the gap brief? when I open it in IE or Firefox it seems jumbled

Two things just occurred to me whilst updating my records, re. shops etc.

1. I did one of the shops for a clothes retailer as mentioned by someone previously - happy enough to do this for the voucher. Even happier when I realised no tax to be paid on gift vouchers!! :j I remember this from a previous company I worked for, when you could choose how to have your bonus paid - in cash, which would be taxed at the normal rate or in vouchers with no tax to pay - woo hoo!

2. Only a little one, but I'd forgotten to add on the sheet you need to print out at the end of TNS shops to send off, so have been back through and added the cost of an extra sheet to each TNS shop - I'd only been counting the pages for the briefs / questionnaires I'd printed.

HTH

Is that right about the gift cards? I always thought they should be declared as they have a "value"?

For the TNS shops - don't forget the cost of the envelope too!
