    Hey. Can anyone tell me how you know your report has been accepted by Gap? Did one at the end of last week and one Saturday, I can still see them under 'my assignments' but they are greyed out.

    Do they pay you automatically or do you have to request it? If so how do you do it?!

    Thanks guys

    FYI I have been trying to submit a report to RE but it won't submit. I know they did a software update over the weekend and last time they did that I had the same problem.

    I have phoned them to let them know and they are getting their IT dept to look at it. Last time the problem was you couldn't submit via Firefox but could with IE but they sorted it later in the day.

    Sarah J I just looked at an email I got back from submitting my 1st report for them last week and it says they will assess the report promptly. Though quite how quick promptly is who knows..

  • I think it takes time Sarah, depends if they have fed the hamster enough. All depends on them and their workload, someitmes they are way too short and are busy, other times they email back within the hour.

    GAP won't ever tell you if they've accepted an assignment, you just have to assume they do unless they contact you about it - which could be anywhere up to a month after!

    You'll get paid automatically on/around 24th.

    Hi

    I did my first mystery shops yesterday! With hindsight I now think doing three in my first day was mildly overambitious!:rotfl:

    Two were with bare and one gfk - does anyone know how long you have to wait to know if your reports have been accepted? It said on bare that you may get reports sent back by reviewers - does this happen quickly?

    It was a good few days before my first MS with Bare was acknowledged - waited anxiously wondering if all had gone OK & kept checking the "comments" box, then one day saw 10/10 & "a good, informative report" so was made up!!
    I'm sure everything was fine so happy Mystery Shopping!

    Thanks for replies! I went with the 'in for a penny' attitude! I shall nervously await response from bare!

    Another question though.............I joined grassroots, but on my homepage there are no assignments listed in my area and there hasn't been since I signed up two weeks ago. Is this normal? Or is it that they are not listed because I need to do something? I have ticked that I am available all the time in the box thing.:confused:

    I signed up with them about 6 weeks ago and have never seen anything!
