  • Hi there everyone,

    I have signed up with Gapbuster and done three asignments in the last couple of days. I was just wondering when I am likely to receive payment credited to my bank from them. Has anyone here had +ive/-ive experience with them and payment.

    I have submitted all my receipts as per the agreement so hopefully will all go smoothly.

    All the best

    Payment is always made around the 27th ish of the month following. So anything up to Wed will be paid in Nov, but jobs done on Thurs would be Dec.

    I've always been paid, but I think I missed my first one as I'd forgotten to send them my bank details, so double check you've added yours to your profile.
  • A fruity none colour phone shop has just been put into my in box for ESA with date to be done from today (??) to Thursday. Applied for it a couple of weeks ago so it may be worth checking so you don't get caught out.

    Now do I do the job or go out for my wife's birthday on Wednesday? Will she mind if I combine the two?

    Speaking of apps, are there any more like Field Agent?

    Roamler is similar but nothing like as good IMHO. If you do download it make sure you turn off location tracking from within the app or your battery will be flat before lunch!

    Just logged on to quite a few pub places near mine assessing food, but it only has enough for 1 person to eat, which is a bit dissapointing. Most people go with someone else to eat and I didn't really fancy going to a pub quite a while from me by myself. They also had something similar for the spicy chicken restaurant, only enough for one person to DINE IN. Specifically said no takeaway. If that isn't conspicious I don't know what is!

    That's not in the least bit conspicuous!

    That's relatively normal for them, I've seen one of their restaurants in the early evening with around 10 tables taken up by diners eating alone out of a total of around 15 tables in use.

    Have you never been to eat out by yourself? I would say that based on the service I normally receive, the staff don't conclude that I'm the mystery shopper ;)

    If you travel for work, there's a good chance you want a known option for dinner - pizza places and spicy chickens are within per diem limits and make sense for the lone diner.
