Ive had amounts in 4 figures promply paid, inc many times in advance.
Id be more worried about most other companies people do reimbursement only jobs eg AA, MF and others paying ahead of them

Really their payment profile is not a lot different from other MS companies. GFK jobs you don't get paid for about six weeks/eight weeks depending on when in the month you do the job. Agree that if it involves buy backs pay out is far quicker than the normal jobs. Suspect Assosia is probably quite a small company, judging by their profile, so like all companies manage their suppliers accordingly.

So if we accepted a job on abai today, can this be done on Monday? as technically it does fit in with their 3 days=72 hours

I have to say that although I don't normally post on here much, I have been mystery shopping/auditing for well over 15 years and am very picky these days who I work for, don't bother with reimbursement only jobs, nor work for the likes of AA, MF, GYP etc. I had done some buy backs for another company and decided I wouldn't mind doing some more as they are easy work, it was just the length of time it took to get the money back I wasn't sure of, didn't want to be waiting 6-8 weeks. Thanks for your reply.

No - GFK are one of the quickest at paying, they do a payrun every two weeks, admittedly, if you miss the cut off you might have to wait up to a month but in all the years I have worked for them - since the days they were NOP - I have never known them ever pay late.

Hi folks - you see the bike shop visit with the small purchase? It states an amount, but can you make a bigger purchase?

I'm a keen cyclist and buy stuff from there anyway. Its not often that something I need/want coincides with a mystery shop, but this time it has. So recognising that I'll only get the agreed fee back, can I buy something more expensive?

Think it depends when in the month you do the work. My next pay run includes work done on the 20th Feb and won't hit my account until 10th April.

Am I missing something or is there no time of day restrictions on the Abai posh food jobs?
