    You do make a loss, but if you consider that you'd be buying fuel anyway, you can count the whole reimbursement as a fee, so they're not too bad. Not as good as the Aba-i ones though.

    Aye the ABAi ones are the best jobs ever, in particular the competitor ones!

    I've done soooo mcuh work for ABAi during the last ten days! I never want to go to another "red coloured shop" again (until the next wave!).

    I think (without checking) I've done 6 of them. Will be nice when that payment comes through, though I bet they'll pay me by cheque which is a bit of a bummer.

    I joined up with GAP the day before yesterday and see I have to do some training before I can do any jobs. Done the basic orientation and I got 100% (did it 3 times to get it!).

    I was just wondering if the questions for the jobs themselves are really hard. I've done the virtual tour but not brave enough to do the proper test yet :rolleyes:. Have to say I feel more confident after having done a bit of orientation and it'll help me with the RE jobs too.

    There's 6 pub jobs by me too - if you're not interested in pubs / clubs / casinos / gambling etc do you just untick the boxes?

    Many thanks.

    The reports are easy.

    Please take the client name out of your post - we are not supposed to discuss who has which clients!
    Happy New Year :beer:

  • .....the new RE pub jobs are a bit rubbish aren't they? £3 reimbursement and you have to buy two drinks? Not worth bothering...particularly with REs 2978 question reports...:mad: done quite a few of their pub ones before but at least the meal ones had a decent reimbursement to cover the drinks too.....

    All seems a bit quiet at the min, had quite a few burgers and bookies for GAP last week and this week, but they were booked in a month ago!! thank god I get my first paycheck for new job in 2 weeks....:D
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!! :j

    Yes, I've just noticed these on the job board. I have two of these jobs to do, today and tomorrow, but at the old fee. It's barely worth the effort at the old fee but both branches are only a few minutes walk from my office so I don't mind so much. But at the new fee? Not a chance! Someone else is welcome to them, I've got better things to do in my lunch break! :p

    Can anyone tell me or is it just my memory but the RE pubs where you get 1 drink each and no food has the fee dropped as there are loads on my page. Some are drink plus meal ( for 1 of you). The other either starves or pays their own which defeats the purpose. Fee for that is also reduced.

    Sorry Paul I have just duplicated your post. I was scared to mention the fee though as thought I'd get my wrist slapped.
