I'm getting offers all over the board! They musta heard about how good I am-:crackup:

I picked up a grocery store shop. I get to shop the seafood counter, and make a 1 lb fish purchase-get reimbursed for that plus a fee. Sounds kinda cool.

Then I got an email today from one of my regular companies. They picked up a new client-can you believe KMART! I told them which ones I wanted, I'm waiting to hear back. Maybe Kmart is finally smartening up, but do they have the extra cash to pay for mystery shopping????

Good for you, Danielle.

I have some available to me for KMart and Walmart... but they want you to go in and set up clothes racks and stock them and such. You get an hourly wage.

Way to go Danielle.

Sherry are you going to take them? Wow glad your getting some also.

No... I can only take the ones I can take Tyler with me for.
Unless I can schedule them during a nap or its a fast one.

What a bummer. Too bad they didn't give you some where you could take Tyler. Well at least there calling.

Yup. :)
I check everyday.
I applied for another one at the Mall of AMerica... havent heard back yet.

I'm not a super-shopper like Danielle... YET! :D

These Kmart ones are observations only. You get a nice fee for about 45 minutes of shopping. You only have to make a small purchase, like gum or something.

I'm happy for your Danielle! I need to look into this mystery shopping. Does anyone know how much you can make on an average week?

Depends how hard you work at it.
It takes awhile to get built up to the level some of these girls are, though. Like Danielle and debbiepete. They are super shoppers!! :)

I normally make 150.00 a week, of course the end of the month is slower. Keep looking Sherry the jobs are out there.

Wow girls, where do you have to look to find these jobs in your area? Is there a website or something? Sounds like my kind of job, I get to shop AND get paid for it!!

PrairieRose, I copied this from another thread in this forum that I wrote a while ago. I hope this helps you!

I shop for about 5 different companies. My shops range from fast food to casual and fine dining and convenience stores. A great site to find companies to sign up with is www.volition.com. I signed up with a whole bunch at once. Two of the companies I shop for I can pick my jobs right off of the internet. The rest call me on a "as needed" basis. Sometimes you have to take exams to be certified for certain shops. They usually let you take the test more than once. These are the companies I do lots of shops for, just sign up and they will notify you by email or phone if you are accepted.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to PM me.
I've only been doing this since March.

I just used a search engine to search for Mystery Shopping... then signed up for every company that came up. I am still signing up.
It takes awhile before you get assigned any shops.
Some will email you when they have one in your area, some will call you... the ones I like are the ones you schedule for yourself online. You have to check those ones daily or at least regularly.

When you girls signed up for the mystery shops did they call your references? I hate to have em calling my friends and family!

debbiepete
10-08-2002, 11:39 AM
None of them checked out my references!!

PrairieRose

I'm glad to know that...I felt kinda silly about em calling my friends and relatives about this. Would sorta *prefer* to do it annon. if you get my drift ;) .
