I literally just logged onto GR and there were 7 jobs available, all at the "Bottom Slapping" supermarket. I selected one, got accepted for it, went back to get another in my area ... and they had all gone!

Still, I got one, so I'm happy

I shut my laptop down for half an hour and these jobs come and go :mad: the amount of enquiries you have to make is quite tho so I am not too disappointed

They do get mystery shopped

I did one of those a while ago now and had to buy an underware set and send it to the mystery shopping company.

I'm doing some stamp shops in December. My sister is going on holiday to Egypt in Feb half term, so rather than give my nephews English money, I thought I'd give them Egyptian money.

Can I pre-order the currency for branch collection, then collect it to use as the transaction for the mystery shopping job? You order it online, then pay for it on collection. I know you can buy Euros on assignments as they keep them in stock, but I wasn't sure about ordered in currencies.

If you want a definitive answer to this question, I think you would be much better asking the company concerned rather than on here.
My personal view would be that if the brief doesn't ask you to pre-order currency, that probably isn't what the assignment is about and it would be better not to do it.

[ But I did sign up with Bare and nominated myself for a group assign of internet brochure shops, now, do they tell you if they give the job to someone else? As it has not appeared anywhere on my log etc and I have not heard from them via email either! I know they give jobs out to those with more experience etc nut just wondered if/when I would from them

Thanks[/quote]
I don't think they notify you if you don't get the job - it just disappears from your scheduling.

I've tried to ask the company but I am unable to speak to them.

It was a job through Gapbuster. They don't have a telephone number. I have asked both on the form on their website, and by using their email address, but nobody has bothered to reply to me, hence me asking people on here.

I hope that is ok with you? I thought this thread was for newbies to ask for help in

I was trying to be helpful. Companies in general and Gapbuster in particular are notorious for wriggling out of paying if you give them the slightest opportunity.
I was careful to state that what I posted was my personal view. I'm sorry if it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

I find your posts to be quite patronising to be honest.

Everyone was new at MS'ing once, and as Martin says, we should be nice to all moneysavers.
