What do you think of jobs with $0 pay but high reimbursement?

I am doing my first job for a new mystery shopping company today (my 6th mystery shopping company overall) after registering with them in January, about 3 months ago. Before now, they either rejected every application or else had jobs that were too far away from me or otherwise I... Continue Reading

Scout Insights

Website: https://scoutinsights.com.au/ I haven't done a shop for them yet, but I am doing my first one today. Wish me luck! I signed up with them 3 months ago but I was either rejected for jobs or else they weren't suitable. Finally, last week they approved my first one! Only to... Continue Reading

Service Integrity

Website: https://serviceintegrity.com.au/ I have only just started working for this company, though I signed up around 3 months ago, reason being because they kept rejecting me for jobs. I signed up for maybe 40 different shops but the approver never approved them, and the shop times came and went with... Continue Reading

Shopper Now

Website: https://shoppernow.com.au/Account/Login These guys are amazing. This was my second place, which I joined the instant I finished my first shop with my first place, Personally Recommended, just to compare the two, and Shopper Now wins in every comparison mode. They pay $22 for shops with compensation and $26 for shops without. They even... Continue Reading

Personally Recommended

Website: https://www.personallyrecommended.com.au/ This was my first mystery shopping place, which I joined about 6 or 7 months back. While I did help my wife with some mystery shopping a few years ago, and basically had to do the whole thing, this was my first place I did by myself. At the time,... Continue Reading

Sassie is down

I'm in the field today, completed 2 of my 9 shops, and now Sassie is down. I emailed my MSC and their email auto reply says Sassie is down for up to 2 hours for maintenance. Grrr... Continue Reading

What time zone is Acculocity schedulers in?

I'm wondering what time to expect my shops to be approved tomorrow, 9am EST or are they or west?... Continue Reading

Human Experience

Website: https://humanexperience.com.au/ Typical pay: $60 - $70 (2 part job) $40 with $60 compensation on jobs that have compensation. Australia-wide, might be international. Signing up to Human Experience is more complex than most, as you have to watch various videos and answer quiz questions, then the jobs they have are few and far between,... Continue Reading

Stranger Danger /driving alone

Just a heads up about vigilance. I guess I have gotten sloppy, over confident, etc. Yesterday I was driving across the state I live in, involved in moving some items. It wasn't a shopping related trip, although I did 2 shops along the way. Eventually, I started feeling stiff, etc. lack of sleep... Continue Reading

Spring pick up

I often see posts here about slow points, times when available shops are fewer. What I am seeing now is the opposite and maybe these shops now were backed up and not done because of the horrible winter experienced here? Suddenly, over the past couple weeks, bonuses and offers to complete many shops. I... Continue Reading

Realise Online (also known as The Realise Group and TRG)

Website: https://therealisegroup.com.au/ This place is a horror show. Do not join. Pay is horrid. You typically get $12 for jobs with no compensation and a measly $8 if there is a compensation component - and then they don't compensate the whole lot. They often say it's a $10 minimum purchase but the... Continue Reading

Faux Chinese gone?

I am no longer seeing the black and white bear shops. Are they gone, or are any of you still seeing them?... Continue Reading

Comparing different mystery shopping companies

Hi. I'm in Australia and I've been doing mystery shopping for 6 months now. I have now done mystery shopping for 5 companies, with 28 jobs at 20 different companies in that time. I am about to do work for a 6th company for the first time on Monday. I... Continue Reading

Disappearing Shops After Reservation

Has anyone experienced an issue where a Blue-Pin instant shop on that Otter app suddenly disappears? I reserved one earlier today to do tonight and suddenly its gone without warning. I'm guessing the shop was loaded in error as the payout was too good to be true.... Continue Reading

Oddity on IPSOS Sassie Platform Gas Station Audits not Showing on Job Board

I had no standard shops available on the IPSOS Sassie platform Job Board. There are times where it disappears the day after the last date for a group of shops. However, there are gas station audits showing on Prestromap, but not the Job Board. I assigned one from the Prestomap.... Continue Reading

secret shopper Edits

I received an email that says to make edits to my shop for secret shopper in the next 24 hours. Does anyone know how to access the shop to do this? Sent an email and the editor said it should be available in my dashboard, and I see... Continue Reading

Was I right to quit?

Hi. I started doing mystery shopping about 6 months ago because I couldn't do my normal job due to breaking my leg, which has never really healed. The first place I joined was okay, but their pay was only $17 to $19, their website to do the reviews kept messing up,... Continue Reading

Been doing it for 6 months in Australia

Hi. I broke my leg a while ago and it has never really healed, which meant that I can't get the kind of work I used to, so started doing some mystery shopping about 6 months ago. I signed up to 12 different companies, with 9 approving me, though 1 corrupted... Continue Reading

Is this appropriate feedback from an evaluator?

I've been doing mystery shopping for about 6 months now. I've done 28 jobs with 5 different mystery shopping companies and about 20 different companies. They have varied quite a lot from really good customer service to really hopeless ones. Most of my work has been approved without amendments and... Continue Reading

Renewal by Anderson shop

There are lots of these shop assignments in my area. It's a booth inside of hardware stores, and other types of stores where you approach and they do their sales pitch. Seems pretty straightforward and simple. Has anyone done one of these?... Continue Reading
