Does anyone know if you can see a payment statement on Gap?

Hi and welcome. First off can you take the client name out of the post. really badly frowned upon. We refer to this store as the "chicken" place. Whichever "store" your visiting you need to note down what shop is next door each side e.g Asda on the right, Tesco on the left. It's to make sure you've gone to the right shop. HTH.

Thank-you for the heads up - ive edited. Is it frowned upon by GB?

Thank-you also to Scorgeous.

Hi - no problem. Client names are never mentioned on here - it's a breach of the terms and conditions of MSing. We always make up names for the company we MS. For example, The Golden Arches (burder takeway place!!), Spanish restaurants etc. Sometimes the Ms companies look at this forum and if they find we are mentioning client names they will not be happy bunnies.

Am I right in thinking that Gap pay you for the whole reimbursement amount even if you have spent less than it?
I have always tried to come as near to the reimbursement as possible, if I had the cheapest option would I pocket the difference IYSWIM?

Yes, you get paid the stated total of the reimbursement and fee with Gap, irrespective of your actual spend.

So they emailed me the query. Apparently I hadn't answered a question, which is odd seeings as I checked the "highlight unanswered" button twice, and it doesnt appear on my printed version of the questionnaire.

I told them I was not expecting to lose any point over it. But now its gone really odd - there is no assignment query showing, and the shop is showing up in my pending payments, but I have received no points whatsoever and is not listed on my completed assignments - soooooooo confused!!!!

I know it was only a little job, and not worth much, but it was only my second job for them, so I need those points so that I can see better jobs eventually

Sometimes RE take a while to approve reports - I did one last Wednesday and it's been showing as pending until this evening when it was approved - I'd not had any contact from them, so I don't know what the hold up was...as I did a couple of jobs on Saturday, and they were approved almost immediately...

Phew... I'm exhausted now - been away for the weekend - visiting brother & mother on the south coast - gorgeous weather, and managed to fit in a couple of jobs whilst there ;-) !!, and have spent the last hour or so catching up on the posts on this thread...

Yes, you are correct - you will get the lot ! eg. One of the stamp job scenarios allows you to either make a purchase of up to £x or get a POP card stamped. Even if you only get the card stamped you still get the full reimbursement.
