Was offered but did not take it - too tempting would probably actually buy one:eek: Plus there seemed to be a lot involved and would take up more time than i can fit in.

If I could do two or three dealerships on the same day then it would probably be worthwhile, maybe doing a "round trip" to make the fuel allowance spin out a bit more. And remember you have to visit the dealerships twice. Also the nearest training location is about 50 miles away so I'm gonna find out a bit more from them before I commit to a day off for training. As my car's not quite 2 years old yet then maybe I'll get rejected anyway, I'll try to find out.

If nothing else, it's good that TNS are doing some training at last!

Some GAP jobs require this. :rolleyes: The current travel agents definitely do (got a questionnaire in front of me), and the mobile phone ones too, from memory. Maybe other GAP ones as well.

Don't think other companies bother with silly things like that. :rolleyes:

Ive just had a look at those Gapbuster travel agent assignments that you referred to on webselect.
Booking a holiday is not usually a quick-in-and-out sort of thing. I hope you got a premium for that cos it looks like an awful lot of work for just six quid - especially as Gap don't refund you any petrol costs :wall:

Is it just me that gets fed up that certain MS companies sometimes try to take the pi#s out of us shoppers!?

A premium, I wish! :rolleyes: I'm doing it for peanuts! I'm going somewhere on Saturday anyway, and these two will be on my way there, so I don't mind stopping off for half an hour for a few quid. I do know what you mean though about companies taking the mickey with some of their fees! :mad:

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how often GAP pay? It says on the website twice monthly but I've been doing assignments for 6 weeks now and am still waiting for Januarys pay.

BTW, has everyone seen the notice on GAP that payment for January is delayed till the 26th? Does that happen often?

Thanks!

I got a call yesterday from a new company who I forgot I'd registered with offering me couple of car dealerships. It seems pretty easy, basically just enquire and give false contact details. Has anyone else ever done work for mystery shoppers needed? :j

Gap usually pay money on 24th of each month for all the jobs completed in the previous month.

i.e all jobs done in January from 1st to 31st would be paid on 24th February. Although this month there is an error as you quite rightly say, so any jobs done in January will be paid next Monday.

Thanks for that, Taggie. The GAP website says twice a month so I was getting quite worried as they owe me quite a lot of money!:beer:

Doesn't apply to us mere UK shoppers :rotfl: I have worked for them for 4/5 years and never been paid twice a month, although I am sure the payment system has changed in that time :rolleyes:

Hi All

I'm interested in this but receive disability benefits. Would it be worth my while? I would be interested in doing the phone ones or internet ones.

Thanks
