>Mystery Shopping ... Lots of info.... I>ativan prices - Some scientists theorize that CoQ10, a compound made in the body, may help preserve the nerve cells that die off in Parkinson's.
I corresponded with a Mystery Shopper who did this
for a living.......While I still haven't done any maybe you can find some
information in these excerpts:
Mystery shopping is not a way to get rich quick. There have been a lot of articles out
lately about people making a lot of money shopping but it just isn't true.
Shopping is a REAL job and you do have to take it very seriously. It is a great
part time thing to do that you can set your schedule with but most shops for
beginners only pay $8-$15 and require about a 30 minute report on top of the
actual shop. Some shops require that you make a purchase that you are later
reimbursed for and some that you return. The average wait for pay is about 60
days so be prepared for that. If I can answer anything else, let me know.
Mystery shopping may be great for some, but if you're on a tight budget be warned
that some companies can take up to 3 months to reimburse you for your shopping
and pay you for the shop. Most mystery shopping companies you have to put out
the buck for meals, shopping, etc and then they reimburse you, plus pay you for
doing the shop. After doing the shop you will have to fill out a shop report
that can be anywhere from 1 page to 5 or more. Then they want you to fax the
report back to them, or call it in. Some companies you can report on their
website. If you are required to fax the report to them they don't reimburse you
for the charge of the fax! If you don't have access to a fax machine for free
this will take away from your money to do the shop. Some companies pay well,
some don't. Don't expect big bucks from doing this. You will also have to
remember a lot of things while doing the shops. I did mystery shopping for over
two years before we moved and I shopped for a lot of different companies. When I
started I put out a lot of money before I started getting reimbursed.
Some companies won't pay unless you use paypal. Only 2 that I know of use
paypal.. There are others.. but mostly my checks come thru the mail.
When I first got started I would take any shop possible. Then I realized that
some of them were a waste of my time. For example, there are some shops out
there that will pay you $5.. but u have to consider the time it takes to drive
to the place, do the work, come back home and then fill out the report.. you
basically just got paid $5 for an hour or so work.. not worth it.
I won't take any shop that will take me longer than an hour to do and pays less
than $15. So for example, if I can get a bank shop that pays $15 and I can drive
there, perform the shop, return home and fill out the report all in an hour,
then I just made $15 in an hour. Get what I am saying? The more money the shop
is, I will allow more time to do it. If there are low paying shops along the way
to my high paying shops, then I will pencil them in.
There are some companies that will not pay if your report is untruthful or you
say some crazy stuff. It happened to me once, but I disputed it and I ended up
winning
The only disadvantage to shopping is that it can be time consuming. Yes, u may
get a $150 dinner, but then u will spend like 3-6 hours writing the report. Some
companies want DETAILS. They want to know what is said word from word .. what
color was the plate... what was the food seasoned with.. did the waiter have any
teeth.. could he speak English well.. they want all that info. If u bring
friends with u to shops, train them on what to listen for so they can help u
out.
Make sure u research the company before u shop them. If u go to the volition
board, and do a search, they will have feedback on companies. Some companies are
shady and wont pay or are very behind in payments.. beware of these companies
especially if they are a company that reimburses.
You don't want to spend $50 and risk not getting reimbursed for months or maybe not at all. But for the most part, companies do pay you. The only time they don't pay is if you lie or are spotted. If you don't get paid and they have no reason not to pay you, u can report them to MSPA or BBB.
If you don't want to use your SS# u can use a tax id # if you have one.. or u can apply for one. I have never put down my social security# when applying, if I get jobs from them then I will offer that info, but otherwise no.......and I still have gotten jobs......... the jobs go fast so you really have to keep on top of the companies you sign up with...
Most MS companies treat you as independent contractor. (i.e they don't take taxes out of your payments, and you are responsible for filing taxes if you make over $600 dollars/year. You also need to report this as extra income on your taxes...... You are able to write off anything pertaining to your business. You get a 1099 from any company where u make more than $600 with.
Mystery shopping is fun, but it can be tedious
and time consuming...but the work is easy , you have flexible hours, and great pay. Most jobs ask
shoppers to go to a store, (usually a national franchise business - such as The
Gap, Macy’s, and Chili’s), spend a few minutes checking or purchasing
pre-selected merchandise, evaluate the service received, and turn in a report
describing the experience. Other jobs involve visiting restaurants and
evaluating the food and service received, with the meal for the shopper and a
companion reimbursed. Of course, details of mystery shop jobs vary per job.
Whatever you do, do not pay to get information on mystery shopping.
Everything
that I learned about it, I got from the net free. I did buy one book that was
helpful because it had forms and other things in it to keep track of things..
but u can make up your own forms. Do not EVER pay anyone to mystery shop or for
information on shopping. Never pay for that which is free. If they ask you to
pay--It is a scam!

How do I get shops?
Try the shops through the SASSIE system where you can request jobs through their
job boards.
Sassie is a software system that manages the scheduling of shops for companies.
Although most of the sites look the same, they are not and they do not share
data.
You must sign up with each one individually.

go to this site and look at the left hand side, you will see links to all the
mystery shop companies apply to all of them.
None of them will tell you what shops they do until they start to ask for folks to fill spots.
You can find tons of mystery shops on Volition http://www.volition.com/mysteryUSA1.html
http://www.volition.com/mysteryUSA2.html
the best place to go to get a list of companies to sign up with has message
boards (several for job posting) and for shoppers to talk about companies .
Volition message board: http://aawsm.com/forums/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=2
has a job board here where schedulers will list what shops they have available.
I get alot of shops from this also.
Also Craigslist is another place you can go without having to pay a dime,
or make referrals for someone else. (May not be available in your area.)
Yahoo has mystery shop groups where schedulers will send out postings of jobs.
When first starting some go here to get shops:

Do a board search for mystery shopping, mystery shopper or secret shopper. If
you have the time to do your research and if there are opportunities in your
area, you can really make a nice bit of extra money doing shops.
I've worked with a few really good companies and haven't had any bad
experiences, but am certainly aware there are companies that are not on the up
and up.

SELF ASSIGN SHOPS
There are a lot of companies that let you self assign shops. So yo u may get an
email saying, "There is a shop available. Go to the website and select it
if you are interested." There are also companies that will let u apply for
shops but they assign on a first come, first serve basis.
I would stick mostly to the ones on the http://www.volition.com/mysterylist.asp
volition list. Self assign companies are great IMHO because you choose which
jobs you can take. The hard part in the beginning is learning the posting
schedule of each company and then literally sitting on your computer when they
are posted because depending on your area these jobs go fast.
Believe it or not, you really just have to start at A and stop at Z for applying
on the volition list. Make sure you have Roboform http://www.roboform.com/faq-pr.html#faq_prevversions
and I would type up a good narrative of your best and worst dining experience
and save in word (if you have been shopping for a while you probably already
have something saved, just change names, and places) It is a pain but well worth
it. From what you told me you are missing out on a lot like gas, grocery,
clothes, and cosmetics to name a few but I do love the company you are working
with!
The last week of the month start booking for the following month. I am usually automatically assigned shops
each month by some companies. When the new month rolls around I check my emails
and job boards every day so I can book more shops. Try to be available to take
any cancellation shops also.
Service Intelligence http://www.serviceintelligence.com/
allows you to pretty much "self assign"
Beyond Hello https://www.beyondhello.com/secure/index.htm.
pays like clockwork monthly for the previous month and lets you self assign I
dont do any faxing at all...
https://www.shopnchekshopper.com/XP2/
I did my first "shopnchekshopper"
job and I was paid the full amount within 3 weeks. I also called in and gave my
report.. took about 5min. I was very pleased and am looking forward to doing
many more in the future.
Another said "I have shopped for shopnchek for two years and they do pay on
time. I have shopped gas stations, McDonalds, Burger King, Old navy and Radio
Shack, amongst other."
Shop 'n Chek https://www.applyshopnchek.com/index.aspx-
nice lil company. they pay on time. this is where I get the pet food shops and
they do lots of fast foods. I always can find work with them.
http://www.shopnchek.com/intro.html
This one is jokingly referred to as shop n cheap because of the low paying shops
but they sometimes offer good bonuses at the end of the month depending on what
area you are in.
FYI I do 80% of my shops thru Shop n Chek and they pay like clockwork.. the 10th
of each month and now they even offer direct deposit... and all reports are done
online and you just mail in the receipts or I scan them and email ... no costs
at all... I highly recommend Shop'n Chek, the pay may be a bit low in the overal
scheme of things but I balance out ease of working with along with availability
and ability to self-schedule and do online and I love them!
A few of the easier self assign boards to break in on are:

I just did a major department store today and got paid $29 for an hour to walk
around to the departments to see how the sales associates interacted with me.
Last week I did a major pet store where I had to make a purchase. Since the shop
pays $10, I just brought $10 in cat food for my cats. You learn to get creative
so you can get something out of it. Don't do shops where you have to make a
purchase and your pay is reimbursement only, and u cant use the purchase. I am
usually scheduled for 12 grocery stores a month at $10/piece.. so I will buy
$120 in food for the month and consider that free groceries.. get what I'm
saying? I get paid to go to movie theaters and count the number of seats in a
theater for a particular show. Notice I said the number of seats.. NOT the
number of people. So after I get done counting, I sit down and watch a free
show.
I also do a lot of apartment and retail shops. I used to do lots of restaurant
shops, however I gained 25 lbs and had to cut back big time.. so I limit
restaurants to like one or two a month. I will only do restaurant shops where I
will get over $100 reimbursement for a meal... those are the high end shops. I
did a shop last year where I was sitting at the bar and some celebrities walked
in. Since it was a shop, I had to pretend like I was
used to eating in places like that and seeing famous people was no big thing for
me. When I first started getting high end restaurants, all my friends wanted to go.
So here we are in this fancy restaurant, with 5 people eating off of one
steak... asking for hot sauce and stuff. But now I've learned to leave some
folks at home because some folks don't know how to act.
Last summer I hit the concert shops and would get reimbursed for 2 tickets, 6
drinks and food for the night. I got to see Common, Al Green, the Neville
Brothers, KC & the Sunshine Band and Teena Marie all for FREE. You just cant
beat that! I would also do hotel shops where they would pay me to stay overnight
and get a free dinner and breakfast. And I also do casino shops where they give
me $75 to gamble with. I used do Bulls and Blackhawk games too.
The majority of chain places are shopped. So any chain you can think of and that u
would like to shop, call them and sometimes they will tell u the company that
shops them. As a shopper, I cant tell u who shops them.. but I can tell u if
they get shopped. McDonalds, Subway, Boston Market, Ole Country Buffet, White
Castle.. these places all get shopped by the same company. Think of places that
u visit on a regular basis.. those may get shopped. My bank gets shopped all the
time. .. Target, Wal-mart, K-mart... stores in the mall. Expensive restaurants can
be chains, but may have different names in other cities. So check them out on
the web. Or you may have a company who owns 5 expensive restaurants in your area
and they all get shopped Lettuce Entertain You is another company that hires
shoppers just for their restaurants.
I'm just an ordinary person and if I can do this as a side business and reap all these
benefits, then anyone can.
One woman wrote to a magazine that she was literally
at the doctor's office reading the magazine and found out about mystery
shopping. And get this.. she got the doctor she was seeing, into shopping too.
The doctor she was seeing did $4000 in restaurant shops last year!
Once again, check on the mystery shopping boards before u take any assignments
and see what other shoppers are saying about the companies. If u read that they
arent paying folks then dont take any shops from them. I dont want u doing
shops, not getting paid However, there are more good
shops then there are bad ones.

I just got an email about $25-$32 bank shops. They are looking for new people.
For example, I did a concert shop and usually with this company I get to pick
what concert I wanted to go to. But for some reason they assigned me the shop
and told me to go on a particular day. Well the concert for that day was a Neil
Diamond impersonator named Super Diamond. Now I dont know about u.. but where
I'm from black folks dont listen to Neil Diamond let alone his impersonator. So
I made a big deal to the company on why I shouldnt do this shop because the
crowd will be all white and with me and my guest being black, we will stick out
like a sore thumb. But they just insisted that I do the shop because there would
be folks of all colors there.
So I do the shop..lo and behold, we are the ONLY people of color in the whole
concert hall. And guess what happens.. I get spotted.. which means the manager
knew I was a mystery shopper and reported it to the company. Once u are spotted,
u dont get paid because evidently you didn't hide your tracks well enough. As a
shopper u are suppose to "fit in" and not be obvious. But how can a
black person fit in at a Neil Diamond concert????
So I went back and forth with the president of the mystery shopping company and
they decided to pay based on what I told them would happen. I specifically told
them I did not want to do the shop because I would get spotted and I did!
My friend recently got fired from a company because she put in her report that
she saw a lot of fat people at the restaurant and so that meant the restaurant
served good food. The restaurant didn't like that comment
One persons opinion on how the certification helps... If you register with a
Mystery Shopping Company they immediately give you a shopper "Rating"
that determines what kind of jobs you get and how much they pay (more
experienced shoppers with better ratings get the great shops that pay more and
take less time to do).
When you sign up as a new shopper with a mystery shopping company and enter your
certification number, MOST of the sites will automatically put your rating at 3
out of 5 points... before you even shop a store for them. The reason is that you
have been TESTED on the basics of shopping, you know, due to having taken that
test and having passed, the rules and regulations and do's and don'ts of
shopping. That automatically puts you in a different category than Jane or Joe
Schmoe who just filled out a form and submitted it.
YOU SURE CAN do it without being certified... But keep in mind that it cost just
$15 to become certified and the payout on the shops you get offered, and the
ease of doing them will be immediately improved so you will make that $15 back
more quickly than working for months to get your rating to the same place you
could without being certified.
I have been shopping for a good while. I have cut back on the number of shops I
accept because of my health. I get offered more shops than I can do, even when I
was feeling great I was being offered more than I needed or wanted.
But as far as a rating or a company paying you more or getting the best shops. I
have found that, even though I am not certified:
1. If you accept a shop, Do it and do it right and on time, and completely. Do
that a couple of times for a company and you will start getting better offers
and more jobs, because they know they can COUNT on you, and that you are
RELIABLE, and can follow THEIR INSTRUCTIONS to a "T". That is what
Mystery shopping companies are looking for, consistrnt, quality, reliable,
complete. Do this and you will begin to get more offers than you could possibly
want to do.

I have talked with other people about this company, and they are totally legit.
HOWEVER . . . I personally am not comfortable giving that sort of information,
just to do mystery shopping.
Maritz treats it's mystery shoppers as employees, which is a whole different
ball game. I know a lot of people who can't "work" due to Social
Security, or other concerns like that. Maritz would not be the company for them.
If you know there will be a lot of work for you with them it might be worth it,
but aside from that, I would look at some of the other reputable companies.
I have shopped for this company for about a year now, and they are great. Their
shops are relatively easy, and the schedulers are great. If you are serious
about mystery shopping, you will find that there are a lot of companies that
require the sort of info you are referring to, it's up to you whether you decide
to do it , of course, but I have never encountered any problems.
I love working with them, they are a great company! Their assignments are easy
and they usually pay in 3-4 weeks. Don't be afraid to send your personal info,
they have been in business a long time.
I think they usually pay around $9-$10 for a shop, and then if you have to make
a purchase that is extra. They usually mail the checks out pretty fast compared
to some companies. I think they cut checks twice a month??
