There are so many different mystery shopping assignments available.

I'm really curious about the variety of assignments our forum members complete.

What is the most recent assignment you completed?

What's next on your list?

Smashburger for lunch today, plus a quick Directv merchandising gig. Will shop Roy Rogers on Wednesday. Next week California Tortilla, two more Roys and another Directv merchandising stop.

I do this part time, as supplemental income, and work most opportunities around my work and personal life schedules.

My Saturday shops were a music school, grocery audit, travel shop. Next up: a pet food store.

Ditto to Isaiah58's ^^ second paragraph.

My last shop today was a bank small business shop. Tomorrow morning will be a grocery store audit.

Working on a hotel report, finishing up the audit-that-is-seemingly-neverending. Next up: Mid-level restaurant that I haven't done before.

Officially my last one today was Panda Express but I also did five USPS shops and a gas station non reveal. Tomorrow is two USPS shops and a hedgehog shop before half a day at my 'real' job.

My last was Friday night, bar audit and dinner at Larsen' Steak house in my town...fabulous.
I did a quick pizza (healthy). My next job is tomorrow, an apartment, one direct merchandising (1st. one),
and Saturday, test driving a Tesla..
.doesn't use gas.

Forgot I just did Whole Foods and Trader Joe's...best buy in town!!

5 star resort on a Caribbean island

Pizza and BJs for dinner on Saturday night. I don't have anything scheduled right now. I do this part time and only do a few a week. I love the food shops, they pay well and I have to eat any way. I think its the best bang for a buck.

WOW, I would love to see what that report looks like.

Torchys Tacos was my most recent shop. The next assignment is BJ's Brewhouse.

I did a bank account inquiry and Five Guys (bonused) most recently. This week I have hotel and automotive phone shops, a healthcare shop, Ross audit, tea store, cell phone store and a gas station non-reveal.

Today two car wash shops, same company different location, thank heavens I have two dirty cars. Tomorrow, a high end dinner

They closed the smashburger in my area. Hopefuly I can find the right one when I travel.

I did a convenient store this morning and BWW this evening. Is Torchys Tacos good.

I did two easy KFC lemonade shops today. Two restaurants over the weekend. I have a car oil change shop scheduled. I've done bank shops, too, which are pleasant and easy. Last month, I did my first airline shop for a half-price ticket. I had a connection on the flights going and coming, so I had to do four separate reports for that one (one for each connection) and they were really detailed, but it was worth $213 reimbursement on a $426 ticket!

Los Cabos tonight, tomorrow a pizza shop. Most months are a half dozen theater audits, about a dozen banks a month, 5-6 gas shops, about 4-5 fast food, and whatever big box, cell phone, clothing, retail, and hotel shops I can put together in the 6-8 routes I do each month.

I have seen the lemonade shops and wonder how hard they are do get the pictures they want.

Today I did a simple athletic clothing store, first time with a new MSC. Yesterday I did a downtown walk around and lunch at a healthy farm-to-table chain. Saturday, a quick lounge audit/supper and wrote the report for the hotel I stayed at on Friday night, after the grocery shop I did Friday afternoon. Next up: the symphony for bar shop on Wednesday evening; tapas and drinks on Saturday; and hotel lounge and dinner.

My last shop was for Plow & Hearth and then a TRH. Not much in my neck of the woods so I am so jelly of all the amazing places I am reading, especially the Caribbean Resort.

I did a business checking account inquiry/information gathering shop today with a small bank that's supposed to be friendly with small businesses (SF bay area).

I did 5 shops where I cut the cord on the Samsung top loading washers, a Cracker Barrell, and one post office. Tomorrow I do an oil change, two gas stations, Cracker Barrell, Lowe's, and a Murphy's

a week filled with phone shops of all kinds. Midas, BofA/Merrill Lynch, whole foods thanksgiving setup. next week med-cal formal events. Then more phone and email shops to finish out the month.

I did an oil change today and a Five Guys the other day. Tomorrow I am doing Lumber Liquidators and an Uncle Bob's storage facility.

I did a $45 fee with $10 reimbursement at a local grocery chain.

Literally cut the cord? I am just curious because I own one of the affected washers. I am only getting the choice to replace the washer but they expect you to have the money to buy one and be reimbursed. While I could, I am not happy with the solution. My husband is going to call tomorrow and see what he can do. I say bring me a new washer and take the old one, done, end of story. Why do I have to put out $500-800 of my own money, if even temporarily?

My last shop was a fast food shop, revealed. I also have performed a shop for an office supply and another fast food. This is part-time for supplemental income.

Last week was a busy week for me, so this week I'm not shopping much, just a movie or possibly two.
A week ago Saturday I had an overnight hotel stay in Palm Springs, which was cool. It included generous meal reimbursements, which my guest and I took advantage of. The food was excellent! The report was pretty time-consuming, but overall was worth it. I also had four restaurant shops and a movie that week.
I shop for fun, some money's always nice too, but I'm retired and the grandkids live out-of-state.
I've been shopping for almost 2 & 1/2 years now with too many different shops to list, but I've only shopped for about.15-20 companies. That's only the tip of the iceberg though, since there are so many companies.
I think one of the most personally beneficial shops, as odd as it may sound, was a junk removal shop. I got rid of a pile stuff that would've otherwise needed to be taken to the dump. Very cool.
Of course, the reimbursed oil changes and car washes for my own and several family and friend's cars is a cool perk.
So many restaurant shop opportunities, if I accepted any more than what I already conduct, I could forget how to cook!
Anyhow, I've recruited two, now maybe three, shoppers. It's fun for me, keeps me busy and allows me to enjoy dining out and seeing movies, without putting a dent in the budget.
The best part is that I only accept what appeals to me and I can take a break whenever I want to.

I recently did a Wells Fargo and a movie theater got tons of audits coming up within the next few weeks....
