The Mystery Shopping thread - VIII

KSG1970

I added a chicken job through gap last night but I can't find details on it anywhere. Searched under my assigments etc and nothing there. Does this mean I didn't complete it correctly and don't have the job ? Sorry, first time trying for a gap job...

No because I was a good mystery shopper and did my report last night after the visit....the tip about sim cards is a good one though...

To be honest I was actually thinking about joining, until she told me the price! She did reduce it twice for me though...so maybe if I answer my phone she'll give me an even bigger discount.

The only good thing is it shows their number when they call so I know not to answer...

I'm being 'chased' too by text, email and with calls and I gave a FALSE number/email address on my 'guest card'. I think they have the details that that RE gave them to contact us originally.

You must have done a different job to me, because I had to contact them originally. I would be surprised if RE had given then our details...but having said that it seems odd, if they're chasing you on a number you didn't give.

Has anyone had an email from a company called "Beyond Hello" who have apparently got our details from Bare?

Bare obviously not heard of the Data Protection Act then.

I just got the same email. Thought I'd see what everyone thinks before I try to login.

While I'm here though...I received an emailfrom Bare asking if I could possibly do a job, and they doubled the fee. I took it, and have just done my report but the fee is still showing as the original amount. Is this right, or should I email them?

Yes, it must have been a different job. I had to wait for a call and then go and do the visit after being invited for a trial day. I've just had another call and a text by the way!

Did anyone see this on the GAP website:

You will have heard about the Swine Flu cases that are occurring in various places around the world. As a result of the preventative measures against this illness, it is possible that when you are completing your evaluations for GAP, you may be served by someone wearing a medical mask. Obviously, in these cases it will be impossible for you to accurately answer the smile questions on your evaluation.

If you do experience this situation, please answer "Yes" to questions about whether the staff member smiled, and include a note in the final comments section telling us that the staff member was wearing a medical mask.

Can anyone of you experts help me please??Just accepted my 1st GAP job.I know from reading the posts here trhat they dont like you calling them so i have acouple of questions please!!
!. When it asks for my bank details it mentions bic/swift and iban. what is this?

2. when ive completed my visit where will i find/upload my questionaire

thanks in advance:beer::beer::beer:

Hope this helps a Barclays customer or you [if you are one]
Their BIC is BARCGB22
To generate your IBAN go here [keep it as 'Sterling'] https://www.business.barclays.co.uk/BRC1/jsp/brcscontrol?task=IBANGenerate&site=bbb&value=365&menu=3772

it should appear like this IBAN GBXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX

Take off the IBAN and just take the 22 characters and type them with no spaces so you have it GBXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For other banks just type in Natwest IBAN and find the relevant site to help you generate your BIC and IBAN numbers.

With gap you tick on the left to add to your basket. Then go to your basket and submit. You then should go to My Assignments and see the assignment there as Pending. Click refresh and it should show as Approved. If it's not there you haven't got it. It's happened to me before, I assumed 2 of us had selected at the same time.

Better luck next time

They were one of the first companies I registered with early last year, so I get their emails every so often - they only ever seem to have a few jobs which are always in London, Manchester or Oxford - High End fashion shops.

So I've never done any work for them, but I live in hope!:rolleyes:
