Secret Shoppers

I have done several shops as a secret shopper. It is additional earnings but not something one can actually live on. You have to sign up to several companies in order to have several assignments. There are some where they do expect you to make an actual purchase but they to reimburse you for the purchases. I have also received a great deal of free items, such as a netbook, perfumes, food and jewelry, but all this after being reimbursed. The shops themselves are a great deal of fun, it is the paperwork that can be a bit lengthy. It is all done online and you have to fill out the reports the same day as the shops. I have done rental apartments, grocery stores, cellphone shops, clothing stores, insurance evaluations, telephone shops, etc.. The shops can take 10 minutes to 30 minutes, it is the reports that can take me anywhere from one hour to 2 hours. Depending on the amount of questions. You are completely under cover so you have to sort of memorize what questions will be asked so that you can answer them based on the criteria requested for each and every shop. It can be fun.

It's real. I used to do it for a good 8 years as a way of making extra cash, having date nights paid for, covering Christmas bills etc. You do have to have the funds to purchase a small item many times and then you get reimbursed but there are "free" shops as well in which you simply go in and evaluate the establishment as well.

For me just bring money for the intend of what you are to buy so that no money left more left than non sense of things.

Are you gonna establish any new secure online shopping site?

I have done secret or mystery shopping in the past. About 10 years ago, I used to as extra way to make cash. It supplies a few extra bucks and usually a free product if a purchase is required (it is reimbursed). When I did it, there was usually some evaluation that needed to be filled out after the "shop" which asked about the employee, the store, etc....and this info needed to be sent relatively quickly. My thoughts: For me, it worked when I frequented malls and places where the shops were done. I never did it as a full or part time job, just when it was convenient for me to do so and usually to places where I would go anyway. This was literally an "extra cash" situation. Most of the jobs seem to be out of the way or in areas that were not convenient even though, at that time, I was living in a big city. Hopefully, you can find someone who is doing it now who can offer more (and current) insight.

I have worked on a department stoe before as a custumer service representative and I have experienced coming accross a secret shopper. I am lucky I am in a good mood that day and I handled the situation well. I think being a secret shopper wont be that bad for a job. It wont matter to me if I have to travel a bit since I love travelling(as long as the company provides for the transpo) Some secret shoppers are not even hired. Mine was the owner of the company and I didnt even notice, they say he visits his store once a year and we dont really know how he looks like yet at that time, well now I know how the owner of that dep store look like.

I just a few days ago was looking up in the internet about secret shoppers. I read that alot of benefit from being a secret shoppers. There is no such opportunity here in my country not anymore.
