If they lived hours away, sure. But I already live in a tiny, 800-900 person town with limited work. I'm nearing the 200 company mark.

My babysitter knows I mystery-shop (she's also a close friend) and asked me what companies I use. I don't want her to take my jobs, so I told her about Maritz, Trendsource and companies I don't use.
Right now, there is more work available for me than, pretty much, ever. I am turning down shops with payments I would normally snatch up very quickly. Perhaps it's regional - I know the economy in my area is very strong and unemployment very low, which would suggest a larger lack of shoppers than usual.
Hard work builds character and homework is good for your soul.
Not all companies are particularly good about paying for those referrals. A new active shopper in my area (and I live in a big city) could easily cost me well more each month than what I might get for referring him/her.

I thought I had retired, yet a great job comes to me for today, my restaurant rotation is up, so my fav's available, got three, and since the big box fee went down to $5.00 from 7, not doing any even though I'm in that mall....sometimes ya just gotta say no no no, lowering fees for an audit, not fair......I also had to refuse a job with a good company that pays 10.00 for way too much work....more jobs of substance to choose from at this time.
Was invited to do a training for a first class hotel in Vegas, nice to know your still wanted...

I would not refer a shopper who would be in direct competition with me.

Referral's would make me feel responsible for the person, and not knowing their work ethic or if shopping is a good fit for them, not sure how far making $ goes. I once gave a friends daughter he name Market Force as she felt pay too little and she wouldn't do it...of course she can tutor over the summer, but her Mother wanted in on my action (freebies). had it worked, she would be in direct competition with me...what do i win?

I have referred a few people--who lived 1,000 miles away. Actually, I referred a few people to Bare through the referral program. Unfortunately I never got paid anything for it.

That's why I'm here, taking all the tackles, so I can talk about, get advice etc. I don't tell anyone I know where I live. I've had one guy, a merchandiser, tell me that he does mystery shopping. He's the one that said he steals in the Alta360 gas station shops to get his "full pay". I'm sure that guy tells other merchandisers so he can look like a bad-a$$.
Did you check your login to see if those people completed any shops? That is how you get paid.

Yes, some of my referrals did shops. I didn't get paid anything. I saw the points there, but it looked like I had to get 25 points to get paid. I think I had about 11 points if I recall. So it turned out to be a waste of my time.
Jas, I am reading the post of LShapiro as you can be paid the $11.00 for shops done by your referrals. I might be wrong, but that's how I read it.
I just went to my shop log. Nope. You get paid after you hit 25 points. And my points expired, too, so I would have to start all over again.
Yeah, well, it's $11. Not that big of a deal. I only did it to help a few friends out. I wouldn't do it for the money, could you imagine how many emails and links you would have to send to find people who would do the 25 shops for you to get paid? Out of the people I referred, only a few of them followed through and actually did some shops. If I want to get paid I will go do a shop.
Another tease.....shame on them, if you send someone, regardless of the outcome, sending a shopper deserves pay, doing 25 shops for 11.00 burns me to the core. I want to tell them where they can stick their 11.00, but we all know how polite I am...

No, 11 shops were completed total, that's 11 points and supposed to be $11, but you can't get paid until you hit 25 points.

I just tried to self-assign a job per instructions on your site, and was told this job is not for self-assigning, so
how do you get the job, self-assigning doesn't work, and there is no other option. I can do it tomorrow.

I told my sis in law from Boston about mystery shopping since my husband's brother was complaining that all she does is online shopping and nagging. They were on a visit to Chicago last year and I wasted hours trying to "educate" her as much as I could. Well, she did it for a while and then after about a month, she quit. She said it was too much work, pay was low and there was no time left for her hobbies. Well, what did she think I was doing?? I nearly banged my head on the table when my brother in law told me that she assigned a few shops and them made him write the reports after he came home from work. Well, now if anyone asks, I am just another housewife who knows nothing about mystery shopping.
