Has anyone ever been a mystery shopper?

    We were mystery shoppers for Jamba Juice once. They sent us 8-10 forms. We were suppose to go to Jamba Juice once a week and purchase an item that didn’t exceed $4.95. Then, we had to fill out the forms which asked us a bunch of questions about the cleanliness of the store, the friendliness of the staff, how long the wait before we ordered, how long we waited to get our drinks, the quality of the products, etc.

    Once we submitted our form, Jamba Juice sent us a check re-imbursing us for our purchase. Although it didn’t actually pay anything, it did get us free juice for several weeks!

    I was wondering what other mystery shopper programs are out there, and if anyone else has done one?

    I never have, but Ive always heard that theyre scams. If you could actually get paid as well as reimbursed that would be worth something...

    I signed up with some companies before but once I started doing the math I realized that it's just not worth your time. This one lady wanted me to do an hour of work, drive around in my car using my gas and was only gonna pay me $10. I told her to pay me more or screw it.

    That type of work just isn't worth it.

    I'm not really into it anymore, but I have. It is too much bother for what they pay. If anyone would like to do it though, you can sign up at any of these companies:

    certifiedreports.com, consumerimpressions.com, videoeyes.net, dataquestonline.com, marketviewpoint.com, mystiqueshopper.com, restaurant-cops.com, serviceevaluation.com, intelli-shop.com, mysteryshopper.net and many more.

    To avoid scams, do not ever pay for this info or to get involved. With all these websites, there are no fees, and they pay you to mystery shop.

    Xmartel - then you obviously haven't clicked on any of the Mystery Shopper Google ads displaying in this thread! You know, the ones promising $50 - $75 :D

    FS - uggh. . . thank you for the brain searing images!

    Great links Rebecca! I will have to put them into my layoff/retirement action plan!
