Have a quick look at what you have to buy, cos the chicken job you now buy a smaller portion, which wasn't clear on the first one I did.

I haven't done one of these chicken jobs for a while - what's with the 10 million new timing points? Then you have to confirm each time! I'm definitely steering clear of these jobs.

Did you pick up a brochure? I've downloaded that in the past as proof of visit and its been passed on a number of occasions.

Yeah, I did this for one too without any problems. Do I remember reading a 3 strikes and you're out type thing with Gap and lack of receipts or was that just their burgers?

If anyone is doing phones shops for GFK, please check the fee before you submit the questionnaire. It has to be manually changed from 0.00 to the correct figure. Normally it just says the correct fee. I am click happy and flew right through and submitted it and then remembered the fee said 0.00. LOL.

Re RE department store alert, the fee is piddling, the work needed is horrendous, and you're limited to one visit. And yet they still go really quickly. Who's doing these jobs?

Hello.

I am just wondering if you are 'allowed' for tax purposes to make a large loss on one (or more) of your jobs, which then negates your income from a few of your other jobs. Eg you are reimbursed for a shop up to £10, but you actually spend £50 on the item. Can this, for tax purposes, then count as a £40 loss, offsetting profit from other jobs? You wouldn't have bought the item if it wasn't for the job, but then again you could take the item back if you don't want it... Anyone have an opinion / advice?

Thanks.
