Hi,

First post here so please be gentle!!!

I've signed up to a couple of MS companies (GapBuster, Retail Eyes, BARE, TNS)

Can anyone tell me when BARE pay? I've filled in my details but just wondered whether anyone knew?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I'm right, but I think with Gfk, if they post new jobs for you and you don't log in within an hour to see them - I think then they send you an email.

That's how it's always been with me.

Oh right, didn't realise that!

Quick question about GAP pizza jobs - when it says (for example) reimbursement £20. Does that mean if you spend £10 you still get paid £20 - so a profit of £10, or does it they pay you what you spend, up to £20?

I think Gap pay the fixed amount regardless of what you spend... but you'll be very lucky to get away with spending less than the reimbursement, anyway. I know it is possible if you go alone, but we always go as a family and end up spending more

It says in the brief that the buffet is just under £6 (don't think we're allowed to put prices on here?) and the reimbursement would cover that and still have a standard GAP fee, so I think thats ok - I was planning on going alone anyway so it sounds good to me!

You are right and it definitely wasn't always there. I have the original notes saved on my laptop.

RE are rubbish at the moment. They can't seem to do anything right:rolleyes:

Thank you! I ALWAYS read the notes properly and tend to print off earlier rather then later - I have been MS'ing for a few years and never had a report rejected. I would have ordered a salad had the original briefing notes asked me to.
I will scan in the original notes tomorrow, email them across and see what they say.
Glad I'm not going mad - thought I had imagined it! :rotfl:

Hi, I have been reading the advice about adding more clients on ABAi but i'm having trouble. I get to the screen for (eg) the catalogue shop and I have two options, login or register. If I click login I can login as normal but nothing happens - the client is not added. When I click register, I put in my username on the form and it says the user is already registered. So do I need a seperate username for each client?? That seems silly.
Im sure i'm being dim and missing something rather obvious, sorry. Can anyone help?
Thanks x

Edit: ignore me, ive sorted it lol

If you click register - you're right it comes up that you're already registered. But if you should be able to click your username to confirm that you're the same person and then complete the rest of the application process for each client.

Does that make sense?

I've just been doing this too. You shouldn't have to put in your own username. If you click register and fill in all your details exactly the same as they are on your original account, the next screen will say 'we've found a user with those details' or something like that - and should display your username below. You then click 'Select' to your username.

Edit: I need to learn to type faster! You beat me to it KaramelRose lol.

Thanks for replying, yea I just realised if I just carried on with it then my normal username would come up. Hopefully I'll actually get a job from them now! From reading previous threads and how to google to get the client names I have come up with about 6 plus the one they give you when you first sign up. Are there many more than that?
I see you've put you're a newbie mystery shopper, you seem to be a pro already! Ive only recently started following this thread but have been MSing for a couple of months now. Hopefully I'll be able to have more input to the thread if I can.
Thanks again x
