I just did an express visit for TNS and was 2p below the minimum spend threshold, do you think it will matter? I would have been over but the SEL for one of the items I bought was incorrect.

not had a problem with it before when this happened to me, cant remember which MS company this was for. I have before got to the till and found an item on 2 for one - and quickly bought a lottery ticket as an afterthought to take it over the spend limit.

I received my first cash envelope yesterday (phone, still waiting on first week in May catalogue shops) which was also my first MS payment!

How can I tell with the various websites which jobs they have been ok with and are going to pay/have processed payment? For instance, I've completed 7 Gap jobs, and the screen on My Assignments page has all of those jobs listed. Will they just disappear after I've been paid - is there any other way of telling?

Glad he's OK that's what is important
You don#'t say which company so I'm going to guess it's RE based on the 2 point loss per cancelled job and say No if you are usually reliable then it won't. I've always found them very nice too

Thanks
My son is autistic he has aspergers but is very high functioning
This accident put the fear of god into me but surprisingly he was very blase about it ! :eek:

Glad he is ok! My son also has aspergers and until last friday thought he was going to have a hospital proceedure next week. I was worried I was going to have to cancel the 11 jobs I have for next week but thankfully he is ok and I can work (of course I'd have cancelled if I had too:p)

AFAIK Gap pay the end of the following month that you did jobs. EG any work you did in May will be paid end of June. Someone will correct me if Im wrong:D
I have not yet had any pay from them as only started this month. My only concern is whether I would know exactly what jobs have been paid...are they itemised like RE?

With Gap, theres no status updates and I still have jobs on my screen from March

This month, Gap paid on the 22nd, so its not always right at the end of the month, but definately the last week of the month, and you will be paid for all work completed in the previous month

Has anyone had any problems with GFK?

I have 2 jobs booked, they want me to undergo a test before printing the paperwork, I followed the test (only about 8-9 questions) and just input them as per the briefing notes, but GFK keep saying that I have one question wrong?

I even chopped and changed answers and still the same message. Wouldnt mind so much, but the answers are really obvious and they keep saying wrong to all answers I give!

Jobs cancelled, GFK can go elsewhere :rotfl:

Nope, no way of knowing exactly what you have been paid for with GAP. You just have to work out what you're expecting and get in touch with them should it not match up...

I haven't done this job. I think its kinda risky.
