Perfect Score on iSecretShop?

October 01, 2012 06:00PM
Has anyone ever gotten one? I'm guessing Lisa has...

What do I need to do to get a perfect score so I can get 2 x 25 ?

I get 20 after 20 after 20....

Hi Steve,

I was looking for information on iSecretShop. When I logged onto Jancyn a few weeks ago, I signed up with this company but have not done any shops for them. Is this a good company to work for?

You guessed wrongwinking smiley

I completed some shops for A Top Shop utilizing the app, but they are only one of four or five MSCs involved with it at this time. I'm also not registered with any of the other ones and not with an MSC with a scoring system that goes up to 25.

I performed one shop for one of their affiliated companies. I got a 20 and I think that was the highest score. I logged onto their website and did a quick search for an explanation of their rating system but I couldn't find one. I did earn a 75 for passing one of their exams.

I just completed my first two assignments for them last week. I had never shopped for them before. I received an email that said, "Mission Accomplished" and that I earned 20 points each. I am unfamiliar with their rating system, but I was not asked for any missing information or clarification, so I assumed it was the highest rating. Maybe not? I did see something about taking some quiz to get more points, but what is that all about?

What good are these points? Do you earn a prize or get money whan you accrue a certain amount? This is work, not a video game.

The few times I used it were a bit tedious. It does come off as being a cross between real mystery shopping and one of those silly apps where you do stupid things like scan barcodes. I could give a rat's behind about earning points and "earning" different titles.

I believe the more points you earn and move up the ladder, you are eligible for high-paying or more desirable shops.

I've been with the MSCs using the platform since before it was created. In my area there aren't any better shops. I did a couple for BES early on, but it was a PITA waiting three to four months to get paid.

So they just ignore the shops we did before they changed platforms? Nice. I used to work for BES a lot, despite the delay for payment. I moved recently, though, and have seen nary a shop in my area.

I don't like the new platform any more than I did the previous one.

Is Business Evaluation Services an 'aka' for Mystery Shopping Services?

It seems like I already asked this, but can't remember if I really did. Sorry if it's a repeat. Or did I already Google it? Sheesh.

Anyway, I finally watched "Mystery Diners" awhile back. Business Evaluation Services is the MSC behind this show. And yet they can't pay their shoppers for three to four months? Hmmm.

On the episodes I watched, they did WAY more than just mystery shop the place, though. They sent people in to work in the kitchen undercover.

They may refer to it as mystery shopping, but those are sting operations and don't resemble what we do anymore than Santa Claus looks like Gandhi. What we do is normally way too boring to make for a good reality show. That is what most of us do, Cettie's adventures are an entirely different storysmiling smiley

I do have to say that when I was doing work for BES, the pay almost always came sooner than expected. I forget now what their pay time frame is (maybe 90 business days), but my pay tended to arrive weeks before that.
