I mostly enjoy the shops that do not require purchasing: Wireless, tours, audits, banks. I will pick up quick FF when I am going to be in the area to grab a bite instead of packing lunch. I do enjoy high-end dining to treat a friend or relative for something special as a "gift." I do Mystery Shoping as my full time gig as I care for my elderly mother and I am trying not to aquire more "stuff." I will do the retail shops that allow returns, though.

Grocery store!! Those have really been great for me. You always need food at home and eating out is unhealthy and I try not to do it unless it's a shop or a special occasion. Plus there's one a mile from my house so I try to snag that any time I can.
Most recently I did a tax shop. There was nothing out of pocket since the fee was taken out of my healthy refund. The shop fee was $85. That shop had me tickled pink!

I just seem to look forward to the grocery store shops. I do a lot of them each month and the major brand around here is not as complicated as the "southern" brands I've done when visiting my sons. The report is rather easy to me and the interactions are somewhat natural. I just love food shopping for some weird reason. I only go now when I have a shop, which drives my hubby nuts. Cupboards are bare, but I don't have a shop...have to wait until next week...LOL. I enjoy planning out my meals and deciding what I will get at each one of the several local grocery stores in my area. There are so many of that brand around here I could do one or two per day, but I don't. There are 4 of the same brand within 5 miles of me and several more within 10-15 miles. I do some at the base reimbursement each month and then wait for the bonuses and phone calls to add as the month progresses. I save a lot on my grocery bill each month, especially around holiday when I load up on food and shops. I have a cheat sheet which makes the shop a breeze.

Life style here. I will work for fine dining, retail and bonused, easy bank shops here and there. Love our date nights, pocket money and retail items.
Restaurants are my fav's along with grocery and upscale retail because they pay well and i love to shop.
Doing quick stuff in my town is a plus as i'm in the stores anyway. Love not having to cook nightly.....and my lunches out.

Live consciously....
I enjoy gas stations because I feel confident with them. It can be weirdly relaxing to go through the motions without having to stress about remembering small details and timings. I like an excuse to hit the road and drive through the sticks to clear my mind. The convenience store purchases keep my Monster habit well stocked.
Aside from that, I sometimes play little tightwad games with myself (how long can I go without spending any “real” money and getting everything via shopping).

What MSC do you do gas station shops for?
Well, I just booked round trip airfare and 4 hotel nights for the May IMSC conference, all using rewards points earned doing hotel and other travel related shops. Doing a little happy dance!

Maritz has several. They don't pay well, but the $ adds up quickly.@leicholtz wrote:

This is the way to go. No pictures of menu boards or restrooms or anything. Just one timing. They use good sanitary procedures to cook the food. The food is usually consistently good and healthier than other burger joints. What is not to like ?

Hi Florence how do I get a mystery shop for WaWa?
Phone shops! I know that, in general, they don’t pay much but I have a small child at home so, at this moment, I don’t get many opportunities to do fancy shops as you all do
Javia, are you on the ISS platform? I suggest there.
I’ve been mystery shopping for just under a year now and have tried various shops thru 15-20 different MS companies - my three favorite shops #1 no purchase required inquiry shops (with quick survey) - I.e. fedex packnship, technology inquires at Best Buy.. #2: retail me not partial reimbursement shops. Bc the reports are so quick and they are at stores that I personally shop at #3: high end restaurants - but only bc it’s fun to take a friend out for free. The reports are not so great...
Which mystery shopping company does Business Office shops?
