Yes, Retail Active emails look like they have been sent by someone at playschool.


Brightly coloured font wont make me apply for an assignment. A decent fee in plain black font will.

Guess you are referring to their jewellery task. I think I will avoid - might as well sit in the comfort of your own home and do some pinecone surveys.

Yeah. I thought the same too. Can't believe they were swiped within a few moments of going on. Really?

The convenience stores also got cleaned up in no time. Who wants to do these visits or have I missed something completely? Do they give out a £20 bonus per visit someone does?

I do very little for MF but did do a couple of convenience stores last month (first jobs in about six moths) as there were two within 200 yards of each other and passing through. The report was really a tick list and took about 5-10 mins to do. If the report had been there normal picky report and write an essay on the entire visit, then I would not have bothered.

Agree you would need to be falling over the doorstep and not worth travelling for. There are loads sitting on my board but mainly in the middle of nowhere, so hence they 'hang'

I still feel compelled to do MF visits, despite the low fees, have had some quite nice free (well almost!) lunches through them. I've quickly learn't which to avoid though.

Are there any Silent Customers on here? I noticed that they aren't on the companies list, they have some quite good reimbursements.

Not that I am a tax expert - but if you came under investigation from HMRC they would see payments coming into your bank account from Gap. Similarly I think the government is looking to get reports from the likes of Paypal on any payments you are getting via that route if you get paid for some of your work by this mechanism.

Personally I put everything down and try to offset as much as possible to keep the tax bill down.

Can and do, they are doing business in the UK so will seek to offset their tax too, meaning all payment details are passed to HMRC.
