Hotel Shop, revealed

I saw a revealed hotel shop that pays $20. However, the shopper's income must be $70,000 and you must have college. The shop didn't specify the field, I suppose basket weaving would do. If I made $70,000, I wouldn't be doing hotel shops for $20.

I do hotel shops for $25 for a few reasons. 1. I like staying in hotels and like the rewards points. 2. If I need a hotel in that location for some reason. Or 3. To improve my skills and credentials to do more interesting or higher reimbursing hotel shops.

I make more than $70K, but I live in a very expensive area and I am very adept at spending it... A free hotel is a way to offset that travel as well as future travel by using the points I've gotten without personal spending.

I did a revealed hotel shop several years ago, but I was only to check into the room and after inspecting the room I was to reveal myself and check out. I don't remember the pay being too generous, but it did give me elite status with the hotel program which proved somewhat useful for a later stay in that chain. Funny thing about that shop was that the room they gave me was already occupied. I used the key to open the door only to find sets of shoes at the door and luggage in the room beyond. Needless to say that I didn't stick around to take the shop's required pictures of the room.

WARNING!!! Watch out for the Intelli-shop hotel job for $20. I did one yesterday. The report has almost 250 questions and I submitted 186 photos (earlier I posted 75 photos, but I went back and actually counted them.) I came home and immediately canceled the other location I had scheduled. There is not a snowball's chance in H-E-double L-O I would do another one for $20. I am totally insulted the company would offer that low a fee for such a huge job. I knew it had the potential to be a big job, but they went WAY over the line on this job....

I can't speak to the Intelli-shop hotels mentioned earlier in the thread, but the requirements are likely there to at least get some chance of a well-spoken educated shopper that can speak to the manager. It's a revealed shop.

I'm sure that there are plenty of uneducated people who speak well. I have just met plenty that don't. Just increasing the odds ....

Thank you for this enlightening update.

There is a whole thread on this shop in the Mystery Shopping Company Discussion board last week. I haven't figured out to post a link here yet, but maybe someone else will see this and be kind enough to do so.

It's actually an audit and not a traditional shop at all. And it is in my 10' pole category.

I used to see a life coach pretty regularly.... back when they were called bartenders.

Thanks. I know the thread. I had no idea it was the same deal.

Thank you for sharing this. Stories like this are the most useful part of this forum, imo. It saves shoppers like me a LOT of unnecessary trouble.
