I also had a reply from Gap which said:

"
Thank you for your enquiry.
Please note you must only purchase your meal requirements as per your paperwork.
We hope this helps.

Best regards,"

which seeing as the paperwork says both that I must only buy a meal and a drink *and* that I must spend a minimum of £15 doesn't really help. So am going to pull out of it as I would need to drive a little way to get there and don't want to end up out of pocket.

Dessert and coffee?

I really couldn't feel sure - it also said to not get another drink so in the end I decided my need for a roadside cafe was not that much and got a reduced ready meal in a supermarket instead

PiP paid today

Another weekend gone and another 2 jobs that I could have done appeared back on RE. So annoying!!

System

I saw an alert for chocolate on Pip the other day...what exactly is this? I can accept a private message to hide the company name.

Finally got the answer

Please note that it is not required for you to spend a minimum of £15 as we understand that the items mentioned on the paperwork will not add up to that amount.

So you must go by yourself and buy a drink and a main meal which (unusually for GAP) will be well within the spend allowance.

Well, that's totally different to what they told me on the phone when they wanted an urgent job doing - they said I could take someone with me!!!

Quick question for competitor petrol: I am apparently meant to compare 2 competitor stations yet they are owned by the same company. Only confusing part is that I'm doing 2 of these jobs tomorrow with the one station being the main petrol mystery shop and the other job being part of buying a small purchase at the same station.
What do people suggest if the above makes sense?
Could I ask for a 2 separate receipts with one receipt showing the petrol and purchase and ask for another receipt showing the small purchase.
Would anyone actually make two separate purchases,like oh I forgot I need a paper as well and get a second receipt.

Regards and would like to hear you responses.

One more question would it be okay if I done a small purchase before the petrol visit?

Usually on the email there would be two addresses. Is this not the case? If so then I would query it with ABAi directly
