I can't believe you're going ahead with it! I wouldn't have the nerve; it's just too embarrassing to know that they know what you're doing! Even worse when they know that you know they know!

I know.........

ive had problems with gap report forms as well, sometimes they just dont let me put the truth cos it says its contradictory but it wasnt!!!!! have had to change my answers a few times because of this, their forms are a nightmare!!!
When u have already said that there were 13 people in the que and then they freeze payments asking why there was a delay is a non brainer too!!!!
been doing it since march and have yet to be paid/reimbursed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So not happy with them at all at the moment!!

i am doing my first job with GAP and that too a pizza job (phone delivery) .. could some1 plz advice if i should do it or cancel the visit??

i m now in two minds after reading all the comments...

Timmne

No, do it!

Like I said earlier, they're fine most of the time but when they're bad, they're really bad! Just make sure you follow the brief and keep the paperwork. Check before you do the job that they haven't rearranged it and you'll be fine....

Hi, does anyone have any advice on how to get Gap to pay correctly? My problem keeps compounding because each month they will get the payment wrong - they SOMETIMES reply and say that it will be fixed next month - it USUALLY doesn't get fixed - then next month I am out the original amount + a new issue will pop up! This month they are taking the stance of not replying to my emails...
:mad:

Personally I would never do the Pizza assignments because it doesn't cover your expenses plus it's never very nice plus you simply can't trust Gapbuster.

I got one of those too! Bizarre - I emailed back to ask what more they wanted?! Questions like 'Did they offer...?' no, they didn't - what more is there to explain?!

Amazing isn't it?

Did you give them a full report? Yes
Did gapbuster send an email asking stupid questions? Yes
Did you fell like giving a sarcastic reply? Yes
Do they pay enough for the hassle they give? No

Decided I'm not doing any more jobs for them after the few I've got booked. Circumstances are changing (I'm opening a shop!!!!) so I'll only want to carry on doing shops for companies that pay a decent wage, who treat you like you have a small amount of brain. :rolleyes:

And to think I only got into Mystery shopping as I thought I could make the world a better place...:rotfl:

This is the problem with GAP, you can go along swimmingly with them for ages and then when they pish you off, they do it properly!

They threatened to not pay me for a job a couple of weeks ago as the things I said which were to the left and right were wrong (which they weren't, it's in the middle of nowhere with one thing either side!). I wrote back and told them if they don't pay me I'll go down the legal route to recover the fee.

....And then I remembered I have £30 worth of coffee job kit from them which I'll happily sell to get my money back

I've got two coffee jobs booked for this Sunday & I'm just hoping the kit arrives by the Saturday!

Hopefully someone can answer a couple of questions for me: has anyone heard of/worked for a company called AQ Services International? Secondly, is it usual for a MS company to ask for your bank account no when you register?

hi Chollita

I do jobs for kernscheduling who are part of AQ, I believe, and so far I've loved their jobs and the payrate and the paperwork is the least I've seen.

Other MSEers will correct me if I'm wrong but personally, yes, I have given my bank details to a few of the MS companies. Good luck! Wish I were in Spain!:beer:
