    The deal is for italian base crust. If they don't have a close look at your receipt you'll be ok, most times they do and then they don't pay. As long as you order pan pizza with any 2 topping (part form pineapple and no margeritha) you'll be fine don't forget the starter.
    usualy you end up with 1.52 change from the reinbursment.

    Is it a small supermarket? If so, you need to spend £5 or more...

    So - if you spend £4.99 you won't get paid; spend £5.01 and you're a penny out of pocket!

    Take your calculator with you! :rotfl:

    Not a small supermarket - IT shop. I tried e-mailing gap for clarification this morning and so far nothing. It's this evening, so I will go with the assumption that it is the same principle as you say. :)

    Spend as much as you like - they give the full reimbursement whether you spend 1p or £1k. I usually buy post-it notes and pens. :)

    Gap are crap tbh, no fees apart from reimbursement? Why would you want a free meal only? You could go and have the meal and not have the paperwork to fill in. Give us some fees man.

    Their paperwork and system is crap tbh.

    I totally agree with the above, do you guys work for food only?

    I just signed up with TNS, and was a bit chocked to see that they don't pay any fees either, just reimbursement of the food! :mad:

    As I said before, I would accept doing a bit of work for a giant freebie, but for some fast food or coffee?! Not really.

    Oh, and Timmne, for the OP, Amber Arch pay 3-5 days after they receive your reports and invoice, and they pay by cheque.

    Is that the norm for Amber Arch? I sent goods back and invoice which they would have received last Monday (12th) but still no payment and I had to spend a lot (£150).

    Speaking of messy and all over the place briefs for Gap, does everyone else find the page breaks are not where they should be? so if you read it page by page (like you would for anyhting elces you'll ever print off) the questions are all in the wrong order? or am I just missing somehting really obvious and just doing it wrong?

    I know exactly what you mean!! It is very annoying isnt it!

    I guess the Aussies use a different paper size to us - we use A4 maybe they are still on foolscap or something?

    I'm SO pleased when people like you say you won't do the jobs because that means all the more for those of us who will!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well it's up to each and everyone, but that is exactly the attitude that makes it possible for the mystery shopping companies to continue to pay us peanuts or even nothing at all.
