iSecretShop platform

May 29, 2026 11:04AM
I have just finally reached Reputation Rank 4.
I have been shopping on that platform since 2017, so it has taken me 9 years to get here.
A proven shopper - I have done hundreds of shops on that platform and never any rejections for 9 years
and just now was unable to self-assign a convenience store shop.
Granted, it's a new brand for me, but still - 9 years of history? LOL.
Yes, laughing at the silliness, we're not talking any kind of major bucks here.

Can't wait to see the differences now that I have ascended to level 4 winking smiley

Life was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on

Lol, I recently got to Rank 4 as well. The only difference I can see is that I can now have 15 shops assigned at a time instead of 10. Doesn’t mean much since there are so few jobs.

I'm Rank 5. It makes you feel FREE when you can self-assign.

Shopping Arkansas, Louisiana, & Mississippi.

I am at reputation rank 8 and 19%. I have never seen any differences as my ranks have increased, My first ever iSecretShop was paid in 2012. I think the rank numbers and badges are nothing more than ego pins.

I think the main qualifier is the "reputation rank" which gives you more auto-assign capabilities at once. I remember I had 5, then 10 and now 15 assignments I could grab at the same time. As for the other badges and such, they're helpful, but there's a term called "gamification" which is a simple way of showing that your work pays off. Make the day to day stuff a little more fun.

I think the badges are just a modern and updated replacement for the infamous "hero citations." I only do a couple of dozen or so shops on that platform a year. If the mystery shopping company and scheduler really need to get the shops done, they will assign them immediately after there is an application. I have never once missed out on a shop because I couldn't self assign a certain number.

Their goal is to try to find people that will work for some stupid, pointless "badge" instead of for money. Hopefully that doesn't work on many people for the sake of humanity. But I'm sure it works on some, and that's a shame.

So, at risk of sounding Obvious, to repeat your earlier comment, the numbers are meaningless.

I wonder if the rank is dependent on quality of the report. I rarely do shops for them but I have score of 3.

The Chipotle badges are worth more to me.
