    Yes - I've done a few of these - what did you want to know?

    One of the answers is that you can be given a £20 interim payment. What do you do if they say that when you didn't have a card in the 1st place?
    Many thanks.

    I've never actually been offered this, but I'd just play dumb. They'd have to ask you for some sort of ID or something, so just say you don't have any with you and will have to come back.

    Hi, just wanted to say thanks to those on this forum who have helped me get through my first month's MSing"!! :A

    Hiya all - just to warn you to check ahead with some jobs...Especially ones for breakfast meals. Took an assignment quite a way from home, the cash to buy the meal was £2.75 but the price in the restaurant was £2.79! had to buy something else and now G******** won't honour the assignment. Have emailed them three times now, they don't want to know! Ok it's only 4p out my pocket but it all adds up! Anyone else had this type of problem?

    This has been the case for ever, the re-imbursement is always slightly less than the actual meal cost. You just have to swallow that bit (along with the burger!), and your fee just becomes 4p less...

    Thanks x
