    Yep. Most jobs with ABA-i are an "all-in" payment to cover fee and reimbursement. Check as sometimes there is a minimum spend requirement.

    I like ABA-i fuel jobs, but then I like coffee, so I'm laughing!!

    Waiting for them to be released in this area!!

    its my first one and im doing a shop across the road from it ... sooo yeah its not a huge bother are the reports good for them?

    Sorry to contradict but I think you're wrong. I've just had a look and the reimbursement is the same it has always been. You might be getting confused if you've done one of the "higher market" stores where the payment is slightly higher than the basic visit.

    Did several over the past 6 months where the incentive was third more, compulsory minimum spend, but thats fine as you're choosing goods you want and will use. The brief on this identifies the coffee and one other promotional item. You're scuppered if the only things they are promoting in such small stores are things you don't like or highly priced.

    You're more than welcome to take them all in my area! My time and report writing is worth more than that!!!!

    Anyone doing the edigital purchases? I can't find where it says how much to spend.

    If you click on view allocation info, it will tell you the fees on there. There should be a basic fee, purchase fee and return fee (if applicable!).

    When I was doing them everyone had to have the buffet.

    Well I just popped out during my lunch break to do my burger job. Went for the more expensive option. Excellent service, big queue, but served quickly. Food nice and hot. Just got back to the office... and realised I didn't get a receipt. B******s. I'd already rescheduled as didn't get time to do it at the weekend. No further dates available. What do I do? Cancel it? Try to enter with no receipt? Gah. I think I need my weekend off...
