    Yep, I couldn't log into GFK either.

    On the plus side, just got allocated my first 2 jobs from BARE!!

    Thanks isn't it annoying to get an email saying new assignments are available then the website is down.

    Lol I can't believe I just had to do a written English test to apply for a mobile phone shop on Bare!! Bet I don't even get accepted for the job anyway as they never usually do :( Still waiting for my first job with Bare!

    Thanks so much Rosy Voilet, unfortunately it still does not work but I think there is something missing on my phone as Vodafone told me to try deleting a file that controls attachments and I didn't even have it on there.Thanks for trying!

    Oh great, just managed to pick up 2 more banks in the town that I'm about to visit this afternoon. Glad people have just mentioned GFK as it reminded to do a final check on there before I went out. Maybe should get GR as well!
  • Grrr, just had to cancel one of my shops with Bare as believe it or not, it's not open on a weekend! Fair enough if it was closed on Sunday but Saturday as well. Boo :( Only realised after I applied and got accepted for the job.

    I don't understand how can you get rejected by GAP as jobs are self-assign? What happens when you try to apply? You should be able to just add jobs into your basket?

    Hmm, it sounds like another shopper is visiting the same place either a couple of days before or a couple of days after. I think each place can only be shopped once every 5 days. Perhaps try different dates but only if they are convenient for you.
