i mystery shopped for 2-3 years and it was ok but once i had kids it got difficult
once you hit a certain age you have to hurry to the car to write down notes such as names and conidtions of the place
it is a great play income and sometimes i would get as much as 600 a month along with 6 extra pounds a month
the best mystery shopping in my opinion although time consuming was the car test drive and they would pay $40-60
my mom has done it for atleast 10 years and loves it cause she is a single person and doesnt care to cook so the restaurants are her interest
we have stayed at hotels for free, gotten free clothes, free meals, even grocery shopping, the list is endless
never let anyone at the establishment know what you are doing otherwise they company contracting you will never allow you to work for them
hint when filling out the application DO NOT tell them you are in retail and NO ONE you know is in the retail or restaurant industry
if you accept a shop never call and cancel unless ABSOLUTELY necc otherwise you will be the last to get a job
and the better a shopper you are the better jobs you get for instance they will call you for a short notice or a cancel shop and pay you the fee with an extra $10-20 extra
i even had a company pay for me and my kid to spend the day at siz flags
another thing to look into is product recalls
a company will contact you and tell you to go to a certain store with your certificate and you have to clear the entire shelf of that product and it pays really good
if the product is not contaminated you get to keep all of it
my mom mostly goes this
she has done lunchables - they were contaminted meat but the caprisuns were fine and she washed the outside and had about 90 carpisuns for free
she has been doing alot of cocacola because they changed their look recently and she had to pull off everything for about 5 stores and we are packed to the gills with coke, diet coke, sprite, dasani
i cant remember the names of most of the comapnies but another i did was mail investigation
a company would send me a huge box full of envies with a certain amount rubberbanded to gether and i would have to put each pack that was rubberbanded together in the p.o on a certain day and it was perfect cause the p.o was 2 blocks from the house and they paid 25.00 for every box i completed
all time favorite was checking the conditin of magazines
they were mailed to my house i would have to enter the code from the p.o and comment on the condition and that its each one paid .25 not much but i had free magazines and got paid for it
once you start mystery shopping you will figure out the certains boards to find info and find many resources
try

volition.com
if i think of any more i will surely let you know
oh and merchadiding is also good and you work your own hours doing that also
the key to this is not to have children with you at anytime and take every job that you are offered at first then after about a year your rep is good enough that you can pick and choose and they will pay you more than newbies
