$6 fee + $7.50 reimbursement is 50 cents better than the $4 fee + $9 reimbursement (if I remember correctly) from old MSC. Although still not great - maybe they'll get bonused.

Oh yes I had to look in my spam folder for this. Shocking!

It really is not better. The $9 was not taxable. The additional $2 on the fee is taxable. Even if you use the excess meal cost as a business deduction (which you should), this is still worse overall than the old fee + reimbursement. How much worse depends on your marginal tax rate, but it is worse at any tax marginal rate.@boridi wrote:

Seems to me that I get $1 more in income and pay tax on $1 more, so I come out ahead unless my marginal tax rate is >100%
I'm ignoring mileage expenses since they would be the same in either case.

And that assumes you do enough shops for the MSC to get a 1099. Or do you all claim ALL your mystery shopping income even when you don't get a 1099?

They are now up. There is a short quiz to take first. Seems pretty straight forward and basic report. Just a bit more than the last MSC. Photo of food and of course receipt required. Worth my time if I'm in the area for a reimbursed (if I include the fee) meal. Only issue is rotation of two months at the same locaiton.
Even more LMAO is the fact that there will undoubtedly be shoppers who keep this fee low by doing the shops@BusyBeeBuzzBuzzBuzz wrote:
