ive joined gyp recently and done 2 shops so far.. one on the 1st nov and other last week. i have entered bank details etc but have not been paid yet. how long does it normally take?

you get paid for all jobs about the 20th of the month after. so all jobs from 1st-30th nov will be paid around 20th of dec. unless like me you forget to enter your bank details for 3 months!

I spoke to somebody at RE today about whether or not you can buy a gift card on the sport shop jobs....and the answer was a definite NO!! They said the purchase has to be an item, and a gift card is not an item apparently . I think it should say 'no gift cards' on the briefing notes if that's the case.

Hi Squidgeum,
I thought they'd say that to you, hard luck but I think they're making the job harder each 1/4 I try & only do them now as a last resort as I 've had no end of trouble trying to please DS with my purchase each time & I consider £15 is too much to throw away considering there's no fee.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Proof reading tonight for RE kitchen shops is phenomenally fast...I swear it was less than 5 minutes! Should have set the stop watch.;)

Hello shoppers!

I've only been MSing since March so wanted to ask a bit of advice about doing jobs over the Christmas and sales period. Is it worth the time, do companies ease off a little over this period i.e. not so many jobs to pick up anyway? I hate shopping at this time of the year, all that pushing and shoving!!!!

What do all you veteran MShoppers do in Dec/early January.

The MS work does tend to ease off from mid-Dec to mid-Jan. However there's always loads of merchandising and auditing work making sure stores are getting out as much stock as possible out for the festive season.
