    I did my first bookies yesterday, got asked for ID too which made my day (am hoping this is because I look wildly younger than my years and not so they can get a name for their new Mystery Shopper!)

    It was really good and I enjoyed it as much as my nerves would allow, horse didn't win though.

    Funnily enough, I got asked for ID in one of my bookies too, followed by an offer to put all my details into the computer for future!

    How long does gapbuster take to stop limiting you to only 2 jobs per month?

    Just got asked for ID again doing a MS at my local supermarket buying some wine. Maybe I should ask TNS if I can do their Think 21 visits :rotfl:

    Hi, just asking that if on RE there's a job that says it needs to be completed before the actual date, why is this?
    There's a job I'd like to apply for but says it needs to be completed by today and it's 10pm :s

    Thanks :)

    Argghhh! Is anyone having problems submitting a gap report? I'm getting an error saying I ordered a 'Dipping Platter' and I need to answer no to a question but i didn't order a dipping platter and I've tried, yes, no and N/A for this question and it still won't go through!

    Any ideas anyone? I'm really annoyed with it and just want to go to bed now!!!

    Usually means someone has released it this evening.

    I had this yesterday, ended up just ticking any old box and writing in the comments box 'as per my receipt I actually ordered x but I have ticked y as it will not let me submit if I tick x'

    If you accept the job today and don't do the job and complete the report in 24 hours I believe it will get removed from your account. I also wouldn't accept it and do it tomorrow as you might not get paid. Once it passes midnight I don't think anyone will be able to accept the job as you won't be able to put a valid date that you will do the assignment.

    You probably won't be able to find someone to talk to at RE til Monday, note down the job number and give em a ring first thing Monday.

    You can accept it, but don't shop it. Email the allocator on the job notes and explain that the job was released and you have picked it up late on on the last fieldwork date and that you need to know when it is to be done. I've done this a few times and never had a problem. As it's the weekend message them on the contact us part of the site as sometimes Jazmyn is in on a Sunday and she might change the date for you.

    If you are going to do this make sure you accept it before midnight as after that you won't be able to accept and will have to give them a call.
