Hi Blutail I thought Gap paid a month in arrears? I am expecting March shop dates which according to their payment schedule should be banked today- not, or tomorrow?
We will see:)

The job I did on 2nd March was paid today :T

So glad to see that the pocket-slapping supermarket have ditched GR and moved to ESA. Nothing against GR, it's just that I love the fact that reports can be submitted via ESA's excellent mobile app. It's so much easier and more convenient.

Did a catalogue shop visit for GR yesterday and am happy with the fee for the amount of work needed. I do hope GR maintain clients in the future though, and don't go down the line of Retail Maxim, who struggle to keep clients. It's all about the report submission systems! The easier it is to submit a report, the more willing a shopper will be to do jobs for that respective company!

This is why I love GfK so much. Although they don't have an app, there's something about CyberShop I really like. Perhaps it's the really simple layout.

I think the problem with RM is that they need to drag themselves into the 21st Century. They operate this system where you need to ring in and find out what opportunities are available. Who want's that 'faff' in this day and age. Why an earth they can't put up a database of jobs and you can 'apply' in the similar way to React operate is beyond me. They are often putting up 'last minute' jobs on a FB site and then you have to 'ring' in for the detail. Can't see how they can continue to compete with other MF companies who are moving towards the use of 'apps'

They tried a job board, all their pet shoppers got upset when people like me hoovered up loads of jobs they would normally get.

I must admit I did take it back. I requested a gift card but they gave me a refund. It was bought a few months ago. Tbh I didn't want to buy anything else or want to spend time trying to find something

It's not a queue count I take it? They have a small reimbursement as they just want you to buy anything for a receipt.

Firstly thanks for the heads up, anyone letting others know about work is always appreciated here.

We do however have a separate thread for job announcements here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/7064619#Comment_7064619

Many of us subscribe to that thread meaning we get an email when anyone posts to it, it also stops job notices getting lost.

Cheers.

Fed up with GR now. No I don't want to do a phone shop. Puzzled why there are so few opportunities.

I did the theme park shop once but never asked again and did a couple of catalogue ones which seemed OK and anything interesting goes immediately.
