    Don't know about Gap. TNS usually send a typed invoice in advance of the payment.
    GAP and TNS will both only reimburse you for the amount you spend up to the given limit. If you spend under the limit you also only get back exactly what you spent. If you spend over the limit, you only get the maximum reimbursement specified. Could that be relevant? You can access recently closed jobs through TNS "My visits" but will only be able to see the fee/spend limit, not what you actually spent. Same with GAP if you go into "my assignments".

    Not quite correct - GAP reimburse you the exact amount that it states on the site, whether the actual spend is less (or mostly more for GAPBURGER sites). If you look through the list of jobs that you did for the whole of November, this will be the amount that you got paid by them.

    If it is wrong, then give them an email, but mine has not yet been wrong in the years I've been working for them.
  • Merry Christmas everyone! :)

    Cheers Becles. If I eat 1 more Xmas pie I am going to burst. And there I have all those Gyp fast foodie places in Jan to do.

    But I am ofski on my cruise holiday end of January. 1 week touring Cairo, Luxor and Jordan with a little trip to the Dead Sea included then a luxury week in Sharm El Sheik.

    Anyone got any holidays planned.

    ESA are one company I do not recommend to anyone. Christ knows how they work. You would need a degree in rocket science. The supermarket job you are meant to take back the supermarket branded product saying it doesn't look fresh or whatever. So like you are some idiot who only notices that when you reach your car.

    Oh this sandwich, bacon whatever looks off !!!And I went to Fort William and Oban for them and got the petrol for it but it took me from 8am till 6pm when I got back. Was a 300 odd mile round trip.

    No one seems to know...is it 1st applied for gets it or what.

    Maybe we should all act together and put in the line where you apply for jobs...... I am only applying for this job out of hope and not desperation.

    I think we should all pester them and phone up and ask how you get their jobs. What criteria are they applying.

    Off to Turkey at the end of May.

    April is going to be a very tough month, so I'll be really ready for a rest.

    Happy Boxing Day Hollypear,
    I am glad you've said all that as i've never got a job from them yet :mad::mad::mad: & just assumed that all my fellow Glaswegians were getting the jobs instead of me:eek::eek::eek::eek: Must admit have looked in the last day or so & there's loads on but you have to take the item back, given that most of us have a branded shop like that near us I can imagine the reaction to taking a sandwich back to them, they'd look @ me like I was a daftie & I'm quite sure the return woudn't fit there nice & neat scenario :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: & then ultimately there'd be billions of phone calls just to clarify a few details.
