I have been a mystery shopper for several over 9 years. There is a website called "Mystery Shoppers Providers Association". You can find many reputable companies there and sign up for them but they do not tell you which companies they do shops for. I am signed up with over a hundred companies and have only worked for a handful because they do not have shops in my area. You can also take a course to be certified which I did and was offered better shops because of my GOLD certification. It cost $100 for the course at the time. I have done fast food, movies, casual restaurants, grocery stores and retail stores but most only reimburse for the cost of the meal and/or a small fee for the report. As I started getting high scores for my reports I started asking for more money to do the shops. I don't do many any more as they are just not worth it to me.
sound to me like the only thing the "Mystery Shoppers Providers Associations" provides is a steady income to THEM.. you paid 100 buck to get a GOLD certification.. they got 100 buck for a piece of paper.. sounds like they are a scam and not worth the effort or expense..
guess you did get to sample some different places and got a small stipend as well.. but what is your time worth.. ??
