Anyone here do Mystery Shopping? What does it usually entail and what kind of thing do you get from it? I have heard that sometimes mystery shoppers get reimbursed for food or items they purchase. Either way it sounds like another good way to make some extra money outside of my day job.

Like you i have always wanted to mystery shop, but i was alwasy a little skeptical about doing it. Like a lot of things that kinda sound to good to be true, i thought that this was one of them. Its seems like a very easy job to do and to take part in, but like you, i would like to know some people who have actually don it before that can give me some pointers on how this mystery shopping concept really works. I hope that you find out more information about it.

I've never tried Mystery Shopping before. I've thought about doing it before but I'm not good at writing things and wasn't sure if I could do it or not. I've heard that some pay good and you get to keep the items purchased. I'd like to know more about this. Are there any out there that you don't have to write a lot of reviews for them?

I am currently working part time as a mystery shopper... and like you said... i get reimbursement form the money i used to purchase the food... and i get a token money too... it is a very nice thing to do... since i don't really exert a lot of effort... and aside for that i get free food as well... i did not pay anything to become a mystery shopper... i just took the certification test... and when i passed... i was qualified to get my own schedule to do my mystery shopping...

I am actually signed up with a Mystery Shopper company called Corporate Research International. They send me shops to do every day but I have yet to take the time to do any. If you'd like to go check it out just go here: http://www.mysteryshops.com/ They seem to have several stores and restuarants you can shop at and they usually reimburse you for the products you buy plus give you a little extra incentive too. Good Luck!
