Heads up! I see a cell phone company is offered at fieldagent for $15. You are only allowed to pick 1 location and have to go in and ask for a plan, 1 photo. They have the burn phone company also for $6.

I love that app. I wish their recycling shops would return.

I check 4-5 daily now because there are a lot of fillers around large cities. I noticed the upper middle class areas are taken immediately, low income areas always available. The trend in 6 different states that I used it. What I do not understand, is there a way to get notifications, do people have someone just checking non-stop, is there certain time they are uploaded? It happens sometimes I am on the app uploading or doing tickets, jobs are posted and are grabbed in 30 sec, especially the buy something in $10 and review, or like the papergoods. I understand the pizza shops tells you when they will be posted but the others it is just strange how fast they go. I made $348.70 in app fees this year and I have only worked may be 15 days total mystery shopping. $800 last year since I started using it in October. For 5-10 min fillers and quick, I think it was pretty good, especially now with so many shops closing, + the reimbursement. I have become the queen of reviews from beard trimmers to avocados, the beer and the drinks omg, etc. Plus the $ in the account in 3 days after the shop.

Good for you, Kate! I eventually deleted the app. Found it too stressful for too little money.

Those were great stocking-stuffers, weren't they? Only 3 bucks, but for literally 3 minutes' work.

You can not depend on it for good money, especially those $3.40 pharmacy shops to take display photos. You can not make routes as the pay is low and the more annoying, most shops need to be done within 4 hours after selected. I am giving examples of fees and shops available as there is no way of knowing what exists since some disappear as soon as they get posted. That's what I do not understand. Either people are non stop refreshing or there is a way to get notified? But it is another money source and I want to bring awareness to people that there are things around, they just need to be more creative.

Otherwise it looks very bleak with so many stores closing. Especially in the northeast, the malls look both empty from people and stores that left permanently. This month I had to go to malls in New England and NY and I was in shock with how they look. Many areas downtown are completely ghost towns and the small coffee shops, mom and pop shops have left for good. The layoffs in many companies have also started.

Are you going to the pharmacy anyway or the supermarket? You can look in case there is something in the app there. I make 2-3 miles detours if there is a home audit on my way to somewhere else. They are $5 just to snap 3 photos. There is a major national supermarket chain that has been doing corporate compliance audits every other week. You just need to snap 7 photos on whether they have put the weekly flyer and marketing posters in specific dept for $7. Always something available at Walmart, CVS, Dollar shop, and Target. Since people take the pricing shops for $15 to do 300+ items, or the cell phone shops that you need to take photos of all the price tags clearly people are in need. Another MS had another pricing project, I calculated it was $0.07 per item, and many locations were taken!

I like the 3 photos of the house exterior ones. Takes a few minutes at most and no store to go into. Never had a problem.

I liked those too. Except the time the home owner ran screaming at me holding a piece of wood...

Yes! I did them in areas where I had other shops. Sometimes, I would go inside the store for Buy & Trys or audits. The pay was low, but I made them fruitful!

Until Competitor came along and ruined everything. They would snap up several of my shops....yes, "my" shops The following week, I would get them at 7am, but that meant I had to do them by 11am. That threw off my other shops that started later in the day.

KateH, they do have notifications. If you have an Android:

Swipe down from the top of your phone
Tap the gear button in the top right of the screen
Scroll down to "Notifications" and tap it
Tap Apps
Scroll down to Field Agent
Turn it on

Really? That's funny. Thankfully never happened to me. The homeowner knows you are coming because it is ordered by their insurance for their files, it is not even for claims. I took photos from castles like houses to total dumps.

I have done some where I know the name of the bank. Either the owner wants to refinance, or the bank wants to foreclose. I can understand an "owner" about to lose their house being none too happy.
