Thanks guys, hadn't even considered a laser printer but will do some research this week.

Don't print much so they could well be my best option.

One piece of advise I would give you is beware that the printer you buy in not an exclusive to a particular shop. My last printer was an exclusive Lexmark from Currys and although it was cheap to buy, the only place you could buy cartridges for it was from Currys, and they were very pricey.
I would normally buy my replacement cartridges online and shop around for the best price.
I've since changed it for a HP all-in-one, which I love. I can scan receipts for companies and the cartridges are a good price.

Hope this helps, good luck.

Got this today :rotfl:

Dear Shopper,

Thank you for completing greasy burger assignments for GAPbuster Worldwide.

Following best business practice, our clients require us to continually suck up to them and lie about shopper experiences to ensure they believe the obvious programme provides more value than it does; therefore, we periodically review our shopper database. This is a great way to ensure GAPbuster delivers falsely positive results to our clients, while also !providing you, our shopper, the opportunity to eat junk food at different locations.

As a result of this practice, we are unable to offer you any further greasy burger assignments, located at the location you were so honest about recently.!

Any pending assignments that you have at this site in the next 2 days should still be completed. !Assignments scheduled to be shopped after this period have been cancelled from your account. Please visit our website to check which assignments you can complete.

We currently have a variety of assignments available in your area for other clients and sites, so we encourage you to login and select an assignment today!

The positive skew of our results is extremely important to us, so we thank you for your assistance and continued efforts in helping us achieve such false outcomes.

As always, your help is greatly unappreciated.

Best regards,

Shopper Team
GAPbuster Worldwide

I love it.

This is similar to the emails I got from them before they binned me although they were removing me from entire companies rather than just sites. Then ultimately I got the one telling me that I was no more.

None of my shops were bad for at least 3 months before they done the deed although I did stop doing additional shops for them......

Anyone know the score with gap? Joined about a month ago and did an assignment pretty soon after. Sent off the report etc but now it won't let me take any new assignments. Keep getting the message saying that I am allowed 0 assignments per day and to try again tomorrow. I have this message every day. I emailed them but no reply? Anyone know the problem?

I've been looking at the Kodak ones, the printers themselves are pretty cheap and the ink is ridiculously cheap.

We brought a Kodak one recently and I really like it. Put it on draft for most of this printing and the black lasts quite a while. It also prints really good photos if you want it to.

Sounds like you have to put your bank details in. It is only accepted in a certain format (which isn't the one they ask for). Under bank account put your sort code and account number like this (111111-22222222) and ignore the BIC/SWIFT and IBAN.

Has anyone recently done an attraction assignment with React where you have to purchase an annual pass ? I did one of these assignments back on the 20th June and the brief said you would be reimbursed for the actual amount of the pass back onto your card within 30 days.

Well I am really annoyed as I am still waiting for the refund of £150 to show in my account. I have called React several times who tell me they come direct from the company but come on I did the assignment back in June. Is anyone else having the same problem ?

Many thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try

The recent notes have said up to 60 days before it gets refunded, hope you get yours sorted out soon.

I've got a Gap Mobile to do on Wednesday.

Breif says to input first section before the visit (as soon as allocated).

Tried this today, and it won't let me input the date of visit in advance, and the section they want completed in advance is after the date/time input.

Anyone any ideas?
