  • How bloody nice are GfK! I wish all companies were like them. Really nice and helpful on the phone, sensible reports, 2 pay runs a month and always in your account on the day (or before) they say it will be. I just love them. :)

    No, don't mark this as spam - I don't work for them! :D

    Last but definitely not least - they pay fair rates which equates to the work involved for their assignments.

    I agree with you, but the one thing I don't like about them is that you have to enter your results the same day, and if you don't then they de-allocate quite quickly the next morning.

    Sometimes, if I've had a particularly busy MSing day, by the time I get home and sort everything else out the last thing I want to do is enter the reports and would prefer to do them the next morning. But I dare not risk it with GfK for fear of losing them. :eek:

    Quick question. Clothes shops on ABAi, the payment is via a giftcard. Is this for the same shop or can it be used elsewhere?

    Hi - am new to the thread :) but its very useful and have enjoyed reading it. Have done quite a few MS's now and am loveing it. I was just wondering if anyone has had a problem logging onto RE website lately - I don't but my friend says she can't get on and hasnt been able to since monday. I have said to email support but was just wondering if anyone else had any probs.

    It can be used at the same shop or any of the same group. Sorry I can't be more specific but we can't mention the shop names.

    I fear I am missing something obvious but why is it funny about the airside jobs? :o

    I thought the airports were all open now *shrugs*

    borders - if its a chain then it can be used in any store within that chain. If its who I'm thinking of there are about 6 shops in that particular chain.

    Applied for 2 Pawnbrokers so hoping I get them as I can do them at same time as the Freezer jobs!

    Can someone let me know when they get allocated so I can check mine?
    Thanks :A

    It's funny because they're airside and only about 25% of the flights are actually going as scheduled. No one really knows if they're going to be flying or not - a lot of flights are still being cancelled and postponed. Seems RE are being a bit optimistic to me.
    I've got a landside job this weekend. I've been delaying it for over a week! Everytime I got on the motorway it said "MANCHESTER AIRPORT CLOSED"

    Another thing I'd like is for them to be a bit like GR in the fact that you can see what you've missed out on. That and your niggle are the only downsides in my opinion but they far outweigh the positives!

    Does anyone use theirs to pay for their next MS there? It would help me greatly if you could but the briefing doesn't really state either way so I havn't dared risk it yet.

    To me if it doesn't say you can't then you can!!
