    If you've been removed (like me) then this might be why they don't want you back. I know that Gap won't let you rejoin even if you are the one to deactivate your account.

    I did email and ask, all they told me is to try and apply again in a year's time...

    Granted I've not done a Italian American for about 18months, but I think last time we shared a dessert and I had to pay around £10 above the reimbursement. Thought it was a cheap meal out, would never eat 3 courses normally.

    I managed to bring one of these in almost on budget, by ordering a jug of tap water for 2 drinks, plus the required drink.

    I know Gap do Burgers & Chicken, and that RE do Mexican, Italian American and a few pub chains. Are there any other mystery shopping companies that I should join if I want to do casual dining/eating out?

    Look at post 2, if you can't spot the other company that does dining/eating out go and sit in the corner :rotfl:
  • I accepted a visit today which had a window of 3hours to complete the assignment but I can actually only do it within the next 2hours. Certain details needed to be confirmed before I could do the assignment. But Gap still haven't confirmed them. So I cant do the assignment until they do and time is ticking.

    I emailed them with 'Other' as the subject because none of the options fitted my query. Anyone got any experience of an option that gets their attention quickest? Otherwise I can't do the assignment....

    is that acceptable?? I mean the jug of water for 2 drinks bit... I'm already dreading ordering the drinks as we usually always drink water anyway but been having to drink lots of coke/pepsi for all the MF pub and italian brothers..

    anyway, I've only ever managed to keep it within the reimbursement amount by going on a Monday when they have the 25% and by ordering a light dessert LOL

    Thank you. But I actually found that by selecting - Cancel Assignment -they got back to me within minutes! Received two emails and a phone call. So I was able to complete the assignment. Very happy with Gap's response.

    They've reduced the reimbursement since then, it's not really worth it anymore in my opinion. You might get away without going over too much if you just order the cheapest things on the menu for each requirement plus some tapwater, and don't leave a tip, but really - what's the point going if you can't enjoy yourself!
