Some mystery shopper companies require you to make a purchase from a retailer in order to get paid, not just walk around stores and take pictures. Keep that mind.

I just applied for a mystery shopper job and got accepted! I suggest you look at as many reviews as you can about certain mystery shopper companies because there are scammers out there.

Another thing, mystery shoppers can be young looking and trying to buy beer or tobacco. If the cashier or employee on site doesn't check ID they'll get written up and into trouble. I busted one, he was buying a cigar and we ended up talking for some time, cool guy. Travels a lot.

I made a mystery shopper proud of target, she said I was the best out of the whole store

Is this hard to get accepted to do? I've looked into online surveys but was never accepted to do any that would pay.

[tabthecabbit]

Do you have to actually pay money and buy things while "mystery shopping?"

$11 for gas, my time to drive there, do quality control, take pictures, buy something, filll out the survey.. Then only get a small portion of that $11 because of three taxes...federal, state, and the additional 15% self employment tax. Not for me.
