    Trouble is if they want to dispute the report, this could be used against the MSer. And also all companies always say - "please confirm that you do not know anyone in the place you are going to".

    That's exactly why I would tell the MS COMPANY (who can then make the decision whether to pass the information on to the client) rather than mentioning anything in the report. :o

    My point is that if you've done the report already (and loopydonna has made it clear that this 'friend' won't have affected the visit) the MS company are less likely to want to reshop it. On the phone, you, as the MSper, have the opportunity to explain to them verbally that:

    - you didn't know in advance that you knew anyone at this store
    - the person you knew didn't affect the visit in any case!

    Do BARE payments show up as ADVICE CONFIRMS on bank statements? Got a payment from the above which was more or less what BARE owed me.

    Depends on your bank what they list it as, but yes, my bank just shows mystery amounts of money arriving into the account, with no notification that they are from BARE. :rolleyes:

    Hope this helps people!

    Just found this out on GAP;

    You know how you're only allowed to select 10 areas on the area search? I've just noticed that the address in the web address bar can be changed to include as many towns/areas as you want, including bad spelling!

    SO - to include a one word area, just insert it in the bold area below followed by a comma, and if it's a two or more word area then stick %20 inbetween the words instead of a space. For example: (I've taken the www off so it doesn't create a link on this post)

    xec.gapbuster.com/WebSelect3/SearchAssignment.aspx?q=search&flag=true&f1=Any%20Town,Shoppershire,Mysteryville&f2=&f3=&c=&a=&start=&end=&premiumOnly=false&pageSize=25&pageIndex=0

    I've now amended this to include 20+ areas and made it a favourite on my PC - now I just have to click it (when I'm logged in on another screen) and I'm in!

    Hope this helps all :D

    I do that as well. I've saved it as one of my Gap favourites called "All My Areas" :)

    Now all I need to do is work out what code to put into the web address bar so that (1) All the jobs are on one page and (2) They are in some sort of decent order and (3)

    Oh ... and being able to add something so that the million and one Golden Arches jobs dont show up would be brill as well!!!

  • Hello! Does anyone shop with RE and send in their receipt by fax? Just wondering how long it normally takes for them to 'process' the fax. I can't select any new assignments until they process it coz I'm a newbie.
  • Yes I fax all of mine to RE, it took about 2 weeks before i coud select any after my first job, but i did do a big 6 week gym visit. Sometimes they have to get the client to check the report first to see if they agree with all commment etc.
    Good luck with all your future visits
  • Hi all, I have just been assigned a pizza job via GAP and I have just printed off my notes and I have just seen the no pineapple rule!
    Does anybody know if I can order the stuff they ask me to eg 2 x drinks, pizza (no p.apple!) and starter and then order an extra starter and pizza for my husband but his fave is hawaiian :rolleyes:, it does say that 4 people max can dine but just wondered if the pineapple rule applied to all pizzas ordered during the visit or just the one I am assessing :confused:

    Hope that all makes sense :p

    Thanks :D
