I would love some burger jobs. Failed the test by 1 point and now I can't see the jobs when they've been released.

omg - I did one today and only ate three chips and one bite of the burger cos I'm on a mega diet in prep for my hols - could have met you round the corner to eat it for me! lol

Hi, I have scrolled the boards for an answer but can't seem to find it! Bit of a lurker!! haha. I have just done my first job for RE and it said that the reimbursement was 5.00. I had to buy specific drinks and put in the cost of the drinks. Total 3.98. Now that is all they are paying? Should I have put the cost at 5.00 to include petrol etc? Bit gutted and its only over 1.02!!! Oh well.

RE will only pay what you actually spend. If you spend £3.98 thats all you will get. If you spend more than the reimbursement then you still only get the max reimbursement cost,

Thanks Pink Princess. Bit misleading that they give reimbursement as 5.00 and then the maximum spend on the drinks is 3.98 due to specific drinks having to be bought!! Never mind... :beer:

Could be that the prices the client charges for those particular drinks varies across the country, so some shoppers do need £5. Drinks are usually more expensive in central London, for example, than in Doncaster.

Any one know how to leave Gap Buster? I did one assignment for them, which I found to not to be worth my time and they keep ringing me up for more. I was going to hold out for some better ones but I’m not going to have the time now so I want to quit them. They still ring me up after I have changed my telephone number to all 0’s and told them I am away on holidays for two weeks. They must really want some one to do the assignments in this area.

I failed the test for this company and still get emails despite unsubscribing more than once.

Can someone tell me - with petrol jobs do I actually have to buy petrol or just go into the shop. Seems from brief only the shop but keep thinking Im wrong for some reason...

Depends on the brief but if it doesnt mention buying petrol then I dont, I just park up and go in to buy a drink or sandwich, find it most effective if you do this at lunchtime, doesnt arouse as much suspicion!
