GAP jobs appear to have been a wee bit thin on the ground this month, has this been the same for everyone or have I just got a lot of new burger fans in my area?

Nope, me too. My earnings with them have dropped off a cliff the last couple of months; apart from the night-time jobs and the petrol and supermarkets they bribe me with to take those, there's very little available unless you want to do it for basic fee.

Which I don't.

I was actually thinking the opposite! There seemed to be rather more than usual in the areas I was looking in and they were all premium jobs almost immediately.

I took my first supermarket with them as well having never seen any before but sounds like I might have sold myself out cheap if sparklysaver is getting bribed to take them

sparklysaver

Hah! No, it's ok, the supermarkets are pretty much always at basic fee. It's just that you've probably not seen them before because they give a lot of them out in advance to people they're trying to convince to take burger jobs which need doing. I usually get 2 or 3 petrol jobs a month that way, and I've had supermarkets too.

Aha I see - well the job I took was a reimbursement only, I wasn't entirely convinced but thought it was worth a try and hubby was keen on some free steak

I'm watching the burger jobs to see when they go up a bit more and might consider one when they get desperate

If you don't mind sharing, how do you get the petrol jobs as a bribe do you just ask for them? I've only ever been offered extra money before.

Anyone any idea if GFK will pay on Friday since the 25th is a Sunday? I've tried emailing them to no luck

In my experience, they usually do try to pay on the nearest working day before the 25th (or 10th)

Anyone have experience of mf and them paying premiums? They called me f do a sandwich shop, the lady said she would add the Job To my account with premium but it has been added at normal rate, I don't really trust them and the job needs doing today.
