I have a couple of purchase/ reimbursement jobs now...toy and convenience shops. Am I correct in thinking as long as I purchase what is specified I can keep the remainder? ie. 5 items as specified up to the value of £8 reimbursement. So I plan to buy 5 different items to the value of about £3 and keep the £5 not spent. Does this make sense?

At one of the supermarkets you have to spend the full 8 pounds, in the other (the one with the promotions) it states in the instruction that you heve to spend a minimum of 4. In the toy shop you can spend as little as you like (and there is no reason why you can't take things back for a refund );)

Gap seems to have quietened down now after a very busy (therefore slow) evening. I've selected my 5 assignments, but wondered when a new 'day' begins to select some more? Are they on US time?

Don't forget though, if a job for gap tells you to spend UPTO and not a minimum you will get the full money allowance shown. But remember, if you were told to spend upto £5 and only spend £3, you will get taxed on the other £2 as it is then classed as profit. Hope thats right. I'm sure someone will shed extra light on this.

They probably sacked you because of your appalling spelling and grammar.

I have completed numerous 'bad' reports and have not been sacked.

xxx look at this site for links

If you are a mystery shopper for such a long time you should know that you have just breached the contract you signed ... as you are not allowed to mention clients (or fees).

Or in fact not allowed to ask "who does xxx company".

hi folks a little bit of advice required.
I have done my quota of five assignments for gap for the month(im a newbie)
but loads of jobs have come up in my area and i know for fact nobody is taking them.
Do you think there would be any point in phoning and asking them to waive the five job rule so that i could do the assignments,and thus do them a big favour:D .
By the way anytime i do phone i get a fax machine noise or an internet noise i havent got through yet.
Is there anumber i should be ringing that i dont know about.
Thank you all
