Hi, another mystery shopper got me involved in the phone apps and I really have to admit that I prefer them over the mystery shopping although mystery shopping is till my primary focus. I did post that I would let y'all know the Starbucks/Dunkin Donuts/McDonalds/Subway app if you don't live in my area but I ended up giving it out to everyone anyway. So I thought I would share my favorite apps with you all as some of you might really enjoy them too! SOME of these are only available in iPhone but check them out, you may still be able to get them.
Mobee - it's the Starbucks app and if you use my invitation code KXVX (shameless solicitation) then we BOTH get $3.00 when you complete your first assignment. You should get your Starbucks/Subway etc for free but you won't really get much else. I've cashed out and it works great. Your choices are in giftcards but they are good choices. Incredibly simple mystery shop (5 questions and 2 photos). Been doing it two weeks and have already cashed out $100 in Amazon gift cards.
Field Agent - don't know if I have an invitation code for this one or not so too bad. You get 2 hours to do a job so there's a bit of pressure but they usually have lots of choices. Payment is in the form of cash into your paypal account and you can receive it within an hour to 2 days at the very most. Been doing it for about 4 months and have earned $945. Fairly sure this is iPhone only.
Easy Shift - not so much work in my area but also easy assignments but sometimes up to 20 questions. Payment is usually about 2-4 days but I have had as long as 6 days. Money straight into your paypal account. Have been doing it about 4 months and have earned about $400. ALSO this app has a community which has a forum much like this and you will learn everything you ever wanted to know about phone shopping from it. They're also great at answering questions.
Winepays - you go to restaurants and take photos of the wine/beer/spirits menu. If the restaurant has a large menu you can earn as much as $5 at one restaurant. Some people on the community have reported just going into a restaurant and asking for a menu, photographing it and leaving and earning some fairly decent money. It's a new app and I just started so can't report on reliability of payment yet or forms of payment.
Ride - all you do is download and sign up. Then you forget about it. It keeps track of your miles and after 20,000 miles you get a $5 giftcard. Not much I know but since you're doing absolutely nothing it works for me. Particularly since I do routes.
Dietbet - if you need to lose weight then this is an incredible app. It is very reputable and there are nothing but glowing reports on the phone app forum. What you do is make a bet that you will lose a certain amount of weight in a given time (for me it was 6 pounds in 4 weeks). If you do not lose the weight and keep it off by the end of the period you lose your money (I bet $25.00). If you DO lose the weight and keep it off until the end of the period you stand to make up to double your money. I have found this INCREDILY motivating!!! I hate to lose money!! You can join as many as three bet challenges so I did and bet a total of $90 but you can bet more or as little as $25.00. However, having $90 on the line is extremely motivating for me.
Pricespotting - take photos of the bar codes of items and put the price you paid in. Doesn't take long to earn a $5 giftcard.
There are other apps that other people like, but I don't much like them. I'll tell you about them anyway.
Gigwalk - a lot of merchandising. I hate merchandising so I really avoid it. They pay within a week, cash into your paypal account. Payment can be up to $40.00. If you like merchandising then this is the app for you. They do sometimes have mystery shopping jobs.
Rewardable - also mystery shopping style work. Nothing much in in my area but others on the forum love it.
Zapiddy - if you hear about this app be wary. Some people are having trouble receiving payment, others are saying it's been resolved so just be cautious. Mystery shopping style jobs. Payment into your paypal account again.
