Can one of your gorgeous people tell me when Retail-Maxim pay? I've done about 6 in the last few weeks, and not had a penny through. Oh and I called GR to tell them I no longer want to shop with them because of the new online system and how it sucks, and the lady on the phone was like FACE BOTHERED! I guess they have got lots of other shoppers that like this system, anyway stuff to them. I shall go take my mystery shopping expertise elsewhere.

Retail Maxim pays around the 30th. They should sent you an email with a payslip around the 26th with the date on it that they will pay you.

I think I've been quite lucky with GR. Since the new system, I've done 18 jobs for them. They do go so very quickly don't they!

Thanks!

I'm so sad at the moment i've even asked my hubby for a stop watch for Christmas - the other day when i had the timer going on my mobile it rang and wiped the stop watch off - ggrrrr. It wasn't even an important call - just my mum in law asking me to fetch some batteries!!

I've done a couple of Chicken shops where I used the timer on my mobile phone in my pocket to time the assignment. Only problem is, my phone has a ruddy touch screen and both times I've stopped the function accidentally :mad:

But now Gap have sent me my Stopwatch to do the coffee assignments I'll be well away whenever I have to time anything :T

Can I ask "Experienced" Gap shoppers ... are there any other companies, like the Coffee one, that you have to specifically ask to join? I'd never've known about the coffee assignments if it wasn't for this thread so a big thank you!

Thanks for the info CatWoman.

TractorGirl, I have been with GAP for a while now. The only other one that you have to kind of apply for is a "petrol" one, but you have to do some kind of fancy audit for them which I never took on.

Re: the coffee ones, from what I can remember, you can only do each outlet once (well that's how it was a few months ago). So for example, if they have one in Leeds City Centre, you can only ever do it once in one year, so in all, it is a bit of a waste of time. After you have done your local ones once, you would have to travel a fair bit to do the others.

To all - Be careful when doing the banks ones for GFK. make sure you ask about a CC!!!! I done two for them last month and asked for another enquiry as all ready had a CC with the bank in question. Which seemed the sensible thing to do as i had to use my own details. They have refused to pay me. Which is fine - you live in learn - I like not being paid my time.

Just be careful.

Pff that's a bit silly isnt it. And they say if you don't do an assignment for 3 months you have to return the equipment. Looks like I'll be returning it early next year then!!!
