Places better than BestMark?

Hey everyone,

I had my first mystery shopper assignment through BestMark today. It seemed to of went well and I'm interested in finding other websites that people find to be better or as good. Any tips?

@boriadev - Did you try to ask, "How can I be a better shopper?". If so, try reading the "New Mystery Shoppers" board in this forum. It is full of great threads on mystery shopping.

Good as and better than is personal opinion. I would do as LisaSTL described and go to the List Below....then read, research and ask.
Not necessarily.....

I have never had a bad experience with BestMark, and a handful of other companies.

Regardless, as I've said before, "I have made a vow to myself to think before I share, and ALSO think before I take anyone else's [mystery shopping] experience as advice." --> Original post: [www.mysteryshopforum.com]

It is not advice as much as here but knowledge. You can shop with Bestmark all you wish....

I've never had any problem with Best Mark and they've always paid on time and have never, ever done anything that ticked me off.
Thanks for the info guys, I just came across these answers today. I will give it a shot!
CanadaMommy-

I am unsure of what you mean by this. Please clarify.

Great if you like $14 car dealer shops. Due to their low pay, they are not one of my favorite companies.

Not scheduling for ANY company.
Of the 50 plus companies I have actually completed shops for they are in the bottom 10. I think they often do not pay enough for shops, I have been penalized for late submissions even when I made multiple attempts and the website was down, and when I had an issue it was handled poorly on their end.
NOTE-I was fired by this MSC approx. 7 yrs. ago for refusing to accept and complete their assignments with a deplorable work:pay ratio.

BestMark always paid me as and when agreed. Their communication lines were always open and my only issue was their business model of requiring considerable work for a pittance. If, though, a shopper works to aid MSCs, help fill scheduler's spots and/or derives joy from being a semi-volunteer for the client, there's no better company with whom to contract. As I've typed on many past occasions, though, for me it's about the business of increasing Bob's worth.
I agree with nanabelle... you'll find that *most* companies are better. smiling smiley

Now, I have to admit that I have appreciated a couple of the *people* at BestMark... it's their low pay and docking practices, along with short reporting deadlines I *don't* like.
