More About Gas Station Mystery Shopping

Way to ambitious for me lol. I'm concentrating on doing 6 shops a day max until I get the hang of it better. But I'm driving a route of up to 40 miles one way, my hometown or otherwise I probably wouldn't even go that far. Houston is a little over an hour away but the traffic! If that wasn't a real problem I could make a killing!

Thanks everyone for the tips and showing me how doable this all is. I'm also going to look into submitting on my phone when possible.

For those doing 20-30 shops a day, do you enter your results as you go, or do you work on the reports at home?

The most gas audits I have ever done was 27 in one day I think. Those were much quicker audits that did not require a gas purchaae.

It is definitely possible to do 20-30 shops a day doing gas station routes. I have learned the route well, as I piece it together monthly. I make sure to leave with just enough gas in my tank to get to the first shop, as this route is heavily populated in a 75-mile radius. I only put 1-2 dollars per stop in, using premium. I also make sure to put my reports in at the hotel after every 10-12 shops, which helps to burn the gas off a little when it is that condensed. Also doesn't make the day seem so long or submitting reports seem like a never-ending job.

Can someone tell me what’s involved in the gas station shops? I see some in my area but not a lot of info. I’m fairly new to MS.

Are they mystery shops, audits, or mystery shops with reveal?

Different audits have different requirements, so it depends on what company you are doing them for. Most require a purchase in the convenience store, and possibly a gas purchase, too. Some do not require a purchase. Usually, you must take photos. How many photos are required and what subjects differs depending on the gas station. If you want more detail, you might have to tell us which one you are interested in. Or, you could try one nearby and see for yourself what it's like before you schedule any others.

I’ve seen all of those listed as available. Just wondering what each entails. What is a reveal? Sounds like you’re letting them know you’re a mystery shopper.

Reveal does mean that you let them know you are going to audit them. You will have a Letter of Authorization to show them which verifies your role.
