    Just double check that you have every single photo before you leave. One of my photos didn't work and the job was an 80 mile round trip. I wasn't paid.
    I don't believe it. My very first assignment of this type and I don't have one of the photos for the first job. The room I had to photograph was in use but then I forgot to wait around for it to become free. It is a 50 minute round trip :( I rang the company and he said it might be okay but I fear I won't be paid for it like you. :(
    Internet earnings:
    Swagbucks - £748
    InstaGC -£73
    Nielsen Mobile - £70
    Mobile Trends - £19.50
    iPoll - £15

    That was pretty much happened to me. It was the interview room that I was missing. Luckily, I realised before I put the report on, so when they confirmed I wouldn't be paid I just didn't put it on.

    And Now an email from react saying not to do any of the visits till further notice due to an error with the app, it's not just me then...

    Did everyone get that email because I didn't? Does that mean I can do it?

    That's me all done for this month then save that React job. Time to let my hair down!

    Does anyone still get any decent premiums off of DS on here? Looks like just about everyone signed up thanks to a particular rave review on here! I won't be surprised if they do a MF and drop the fee now because they have loads of people on their books.

    It was a generic sassie one not a personal one to me so I assume to everyone not to do it. Check your spam?

    Just downloaded the app and it's certainly giving me my coordinates and is giving me 3 different survey options to complete, albeit I've connected through my home wifi. Just gonna head into town so will try it see what happens not over wifi.

    Edit,

    Failed miserably over non wifi connection.

    More than I'm getting then, I just get

    Application Error
    A network error occurred. (file:///android_asset/surveys/Surveys.html?platform=android)

    Hi all
    Have just taken my first 'Cinema On-Screen Advertising audit'. I am supposed to get an email with full details tomorrow but being impatient I just wondered if you get your ticket price reimbursed as well as the fee or is it just the fee? I'm considering whether to take my husband with me but if its just the fee I'll make a loss! Though suppose it's a cheap night out. Also can you chose your film or is it specified in the brief?
    Thanks for any help!

    If it's with A company, Its an audit to do by yourself, you get your fee and don't watch the film unless you buy a ticket. You may have to leave and speak to the manager when the film actually starts anyhow too so don't look at this as a cheap night out, it's a job. If you're wanting to watch a film do other companies instead like react and go on an orange Wednesday.

    If it's the one I usually do then you ask the manager and get free entry into the screen. You'll get paperwork to show the manager to prove you are there doing an audit. You can't (or aren't supposed to) watch the actual film. You just watch the advertising writing it all down then get up, walk out and sign out, handing the pass back in.

    One of my locals has started making me have a pass now, think it's a head office thing, most of other chains don't. Plus I do that many I wouldn't get to watch a film in every time frame and get others done.


    Just had this in from gap, I didnt even know they had it, let alone have me in it.. not aware of any benefits...
    REMINDER:
    GAP V.I.P LIST!
