Hello

I have been working for Retail Eyes for a while, I have now signed up with BARE.

Where do I enter my bank details? I have found a button to say whether I can accept Paypal (which is fine but I would rather have money in the bank!). Can anyone help?

The pub jobs on RE went really quickly today - there were 11 in my area and by the time I'd selected one, the others had all gone!

Sometimes you are only allowed one of a certain company. Once you select it, the others are still there but you can't see them.

Lovely GAP. They rang me last week and asked me to do an urgent assignment for them and paid me an extra £4.00. Today they rang me again and asked me to do another assignment that needs to be completed this week. I asked again if I would be paid any more for it and they said "no" but offered me 3 jobs for next month which haven't been released yet (for May) and they're only a stone's throw away from where I live. Lucky me! How long is this romance going to last before they send me an email telling me I've had the chop!:rotfl:

Just make sure you get these jobs. GAP have been known to go back on promises made over the phone;


Three well known lies.

1. The cheque's in the post

2. XXXXXXXXXXX (Far too rude!)

3. Gap say they'll give you an extra fee\job for doing a crap last minute assignment

I wondered if I could spend £5 on petrol and £5 on chocolate(or something...) as I'm not sure I can fit the full amount of petrol in my tank. Otherwise I'll just have to borrow oh's car!

Yes, you can do this; as long as you meet the minimum spend and you have bought some fuel then that is fine. If I'm doing a load of them then I can usually only fit a few litres in the car at a time and then buy groceries in the shop to bring me up to £X.

Remember that the minimum fuel purchase at garages is 2 litres, so bear this in mind if you are visiting garages in close proximity and have already filled up!

That's odd as I was told you had to spend minimum £X on fuel.

Personally I'd feel a bit silly buying 2 litres of petrol. Although when I first started driving I used to fill up with £5 which would last me all week. They were the days!

I'm such a twonk, I've just picked up some petrol jobs on Aba-i, except tomorrow I happen to be going miles in the opposite direction. :rotfl:

I've emailed to ask, if I've got an answer either way from them then I can't be told I've done it wrong! Thanks for the help guys.

Now I am really confused mine says I can buy fuel but this will not go towards my minimum spend, I take it this is a different brief?

Superhez that does sound different to mine. Mine is a "DODO" I have to visit the ABAi petrol station, buy fuel and something in the shop, and go to a nearby competitor and buy just something in the shop.

Must be different, mine doesn't involve a competitor.
