Hmm... Just been looking at the GFK homepage (yep, an exciting life I lead..) and noticed references to a few interesting jobs. I'm not too bothered about revealing client names as they have done so on their home page but I'll try not to directly. The ones that interested me were:

1. Subterranean London trains
2. Flights!

Does anyone do any of these visits, are they invite only or do you have to live in a certain London borough for the trains? (I noticed under my profile I could state whether I lived in Barking, Haringay or a few others).

Yup I do both and its invite only.

Some strange goings on over at RE. GYPs seaside petrol has appeared on their site with ABAi's petrol clients scenario

Very strange indeed. Especially since the brief says to ask about the abai loyalty card in the seaside station and they both have different schemes!

I can not see any of them, but then maybe the 10,000 new shoppers have picked them all up

Sounds like they have "modified" the abai brief without changing all the info!!

They are both invite-only.

They do similar projects to #1 in various parts of the country from time-to-time, not just Ldn.

Just ring them up, they're always fine with me, they prefer to get them done earlier anyway.

Thought that might have been the case - Suppose I will encourage myself to do a few bank jobs then...

Has anyone done the credit card company for GFK? I did one today. Asked the doughnut who did my application to cancel it when I revealed I was the mystery shopper. He said he would. But then I got an email saying I was successful in my application for a credit card, and that if I followed the click and agreed, I could have it sent out. I'm in a panic now. I don't want another credit card. Called the number at GFK and not heard anything from them. Eeeeek!

I had this with Helion in the round of department stores before last, lesson learnt, not doing any more credit check jobs for a smallish fee.
