I finally got a bunch of jobs, but they were all at Subway. I accepted 7 jobs and I am starting to think it's not worth the time. Does anyone else do this and if yes, what kinds of jobs do you get? Do you think it's worth it?

I have never done any mystery jobs. I have heard it is more of a headache than anything else you have to fill out some long forms like how long did it take for the employee to greet you how long did it take from start to finish how clean is the place how friendly how long this how long that not for me.

Yes, I think I am figuring that out. I feel bad because I just recommended this to someone and they are all excited about it.

I used to do it sometimes and most of them were for Buffalo Wild Wings when I lived in MN. It was pretty good since we got a free meal and then a few bucks on top of it. I moved and didn't do any for a couple of years. We have a BWW here now too so I should look into it again.

Yes, the free sandwich is nice. I do have to print out like 8 pages of questions to bring along with me and fill out. That is using my ink and paper. I try to recycle, but they make it so you have to print out every page. We will see how far I will go with this. Maybe if they give me other jobs.

I am a regular mystery shopper too at one of the large book/stationery stores. As both my teenage children are still students, the free stationery, books and paper goes a long way in my budgeting! :) plus sometimes it IS nice to think you can get back at the rude cashiers and staff by giving them a bad appraisal! :))

Sometimes it is. Who do you go through, i started with one company but i got heaps of bank jobs. I think it is ok because i got paid well for them.

It's through cybershoppersonline. They do not pay much and I just read that all of their jobs pay only $10 and once in awhile there will be special jobs that pay $20. I am thinking for the mileage and and all that isn't reimbursed, it should be a little higher. But like you said, it might be the company.
