The exciting experiences. Life is never dull with mystery shopping! I've had so many amazing experiences that I would never normally have.

What's wrong with eggs Benedict, lobster, filet mignon and martinis? Those are all delicious in my book.

I'm in London and one thing I really like is a very special burger place I shop, not only because it's a video shop and pays more money than any other restaurant shop I do, but because the burgers are totally delicious as are the incredible sides and I also get to have a proper drink too - I usually have a small carafe of red wine but last time I had a cocktail that had 3 different types of rum in it! Sometimes I drive a little further than normal for this visit because it's so good!

I use my loyalty credit card to pay for all my hotel stays, restaurants, purchases. The points I receive add up significantly!

Rewards cards are a great way to get a "bonus" that is non-taxable. I have one for each of the 3 hotel chains that I shop on a regular basis. Those points earn me free nights that I use for personal trips and/or to "subsidize" some MS routes. I also gave a BoA Travel Rewards credit card that gives extra points for anything travel related. So, on the rare occasions when one of my parking shops is at a location that will not accept cash, I earn triple points for the parking fee. Same with any eatery shops, fuel, , ride-shares, etc. So far this tear about $800 cash back.

It fits well around my job as a substitute teacher. The flexible hours are great, and I don't think I would ever want to go back to a job that did not have flexible hours.

I have discovered restaurants, hotels and even a beach that I might not have known about while doing mystery shops. No, I did not mystery shop the beach. I was doing a hotel shop and I knew I had to be somewhere near Long Island Sound. I was required to go to the front desk and ask a question. My question was, "Where's the nearest beach?" That's when I discovered Silver Sands in Milford, CT. The best thing about this beach is no charge for parking or for use of the beach!

You didn't specify that you were discussing Coyle in your post. I know that they have some nice restaurants to evaluate but they are not the only ones who do.

I have extensive retail and wholesale sales experience in the music products industry. I enjoy seeing how other retail businesses work, or don't work, more times than not.

Any salesperson worth their salt knows you don't get the sale without asking for it.

I do a lot of apartment shops each year, and in the past I have done more cellphone sales presentations than any human should have to endure in multiple lifetimes. Unfortunately, I'm almost shocked when someone tries to close me, it happens so infrequently.

I love time frames. Where else can you make your work plan, encounter an urgency, change the plan, and do the work hours later?
