    March Gap payment arrived in my bank account today.
    And I'm seeing an RA one for tomorrow which is either stations or pharmacies.

    FYI re: GAP payments - for those (like me) who have still not received the March assignment pay yet, I just noticed this note hidden at the end of their latest 'Join GAP GOLD!!' email ...

    "Attention to all shoppers who have successfully completed assignments in March: Payments for shoppers in UK will be processed by Wednesday-7th May at the latest."

    Hmmmm, but nothing spotted on their website :mad:

    As it happened, I've received payment today :) but I've hardly done any shops in April (about a quarter of March's). Still happy to do their late night visits for the big premiums though.

    Well I got paid today as well. Did you notice anything missing from your email?

    The one I got wrong was-it said on the assignment, "you can take a friend with you as long as they don't distract you from your assignment"

    Question on brief came up-I must do this alone-I answered no-as per their bloody brief and got told I was wrong...grrr.

    It was a brekkie call on my way to work as well, was looking forward to a free brekkie.:D


    You can always ring them and you'll often find they will allocate the visit to you.

    RA looks like stations and Japanese high tech brand.

    If it's GFK the questions rarely make sense. Just take a stab in the dark and be surprised.

    Also take a screen shot before you submit the answers, that way you know for next time ;)

    If I'm properly, properly stumped. I've been known to ring up the helpline before and ask what I'm doing wrong. The guy I normally get seems to think the same about the tests as we do.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Are you alluding to the absence of petrol visits in the list of gold assignments supposed to encourage us to "Jump ONLINE QUICKLY!" and snap up those burger jobs?

    Yes I am. They are usually the prime reward on offer, but they weren't mentioned in that email. It's easy to get a bit suspicious when there is talk about them losing more companies.

    Has anyone worked out which visits the RA payments are for? Once again it makes no sense against my records.

    Oh and did anyone get an email from ESA saying they've uploaded new assignments? I can see anything new.
