No.

Absolutely not.

Shopping central Arizona.

Sitting in my jammies and spending only 5-6 minutes (including reporting time) per call? You betcha. Easy way earn a little when I'm otherwise doing nothing. It all adds up, every month.

The report is basically the time you called and a couple other questions, no narratives. They score the calls themselves.

Believe it or not, I take a slew of under $5 phone shops for a favorite mystery shopping company. The call is less than 2 minutes and the report is very fast, less than 2 minutes. No gas is used, no tolls, no fighting traffic. If there are enough of them, I will do it only for this company. All other "$9 on-line K-12 shops" NO. I did that once and it was horrible from the 45 minute phone call to the hour+ to enter everything he said.

Give it to me fast and fresh!

Is it just one check-the-box question? "Was the phone answered in five rings or less?" That would be worth the $2. Anything beyond that and the MSC is out of their minds. It's really $1 after taxes.

I might, however, do it for a Klondike bar.

Now scheduling travel shops for the day after Christmas through mid-January.

Not for me.

For the ones I have done, the reports were longer than the calls. I did a lot one week to increase my earnings, but they didn't make a difference.

I would do it only if the report was less than 2 minutes.

I can do lottery ticket shops for $10, 2-5 minutes in store, less than 5 minutes on the report. I once did 6 in an hour, another half hour on the reports. I'm good with $40/hr

With phone shops so low paying, it is only logical to keep the call under 3 minutes and the report under 3 minutes.

I can see these repackaged soon. Let me help the unscrupulous scheduler out...

Simply complete 75 of these very fast phone shops for a quick $100. Failure to complete the entire route results in zero payment. (Three locations at the bottom of the list do not exist.)

These reports are fast and easy, as are the calls, for once living up to the cliche. I'm in a small town in a somewhat rural area, so have to travel an hour just to do a route. Phone shops cost me nothing and I can knock 'em off with a cup of coffee at my side and a dog sharing my recliner. I love those lazy mornings.

I don't do low-paying phone shops where I have to call multiple times, catch targets, play phone tag, or write long reports, but I like filling in with these and some $5 ones I could do in my sleep.

I make it up when a MSC pays me mileage, ferry, and $120 to do a bank shop.

This reminds me of a phone shop I saw come up. I had already told the scheduler that location was closed for the in person shop, apparently it slipped through on the next round. I completed the shop and was paid the full amount. (I live across the street from the former location.)

I'll schedule phone shops on those occasions when I'm called for jury duty.

If they take less than ten minutes why not?
