Last I heard their stuff was being handled by Kern.
They have very little here, but there were a couple of jobs here in August. Kern scheduled both for them.
Lots of financial shops in the Northwest
Lots of bowling alleys too; very nice women to work with over there and pay when they say they will.
Actually I got paid early...I have no problems recommending them.
Hi! new to the forum, and glad to have found it... 
I had 3 bank shops last month with Kinesis and 2 more for October.
All scheduled through Kern.
I'm in New England.

I know one of the principles in a professional capacity and he is a good guy (hard working, knowledgable, etc.). I do not shop for them, but respect the company and the people working there. They do other types of research beyond mystery shopping though - and they are still very much around.
Lots of bank jobs and the bowling jobs are great; I get to have a "date" with my 7 year old every few weeks as we do different locations and have a great night out that I really could not afford if I wasn't doing the shop.
Bowling has gotten so expensive my jaw just about dropped; 32 bucks for 4 games?

Austinmom's correct--I've been scheduled with them through Kern Scheduling. They have a ton of bowling shops in my area (one of which I did and was super fun). =)
Sorry--I didn't realize Suzie had basically already posted the same thing... But it didn't change the fact that they were fun.

Kinesis is scheduled here in the NE by Kern: [www.kernscheduling.com]
They have lots of bank & bowling shops here - Tracy is the scheduler I've worked with & she's great. You aren't paid by Kern, they only schedule. Your payment comes from their clients.

I'm doing one next month again (bowling) with my son and I've done a very "happy and personable" ice cream place too which was a blast, they paid for up to 20 bucks of ice cream and I got paid on top of it. After I file report, I usually send a personal thank you to the scheduler for letting me do the job as it does give me the opportunity to do things with my kids that I usually couldn't afford on my salary right now and I really do appreciate it.

Has anyone had reason to be in touch with the company, and if so, successful in the attempt? I've been trying to reach them by phone, to no avail.

They react better to messages through the schedulers at KSS

Yes, I've called, but never left a message. I've been trying to get a human. And you are right about the KSS schedulers, or at least the one with whom I've been working. Incredibly unresponsive.
I just registered with them an applied for a bank shop thru KSS. Now I have to wait to see if they assign it to me. So far I like the pay but I haven't seen the report yet.

What is their pay schedule? Should we not have been paid by PayPal today?
I am wondering the same thing, Vptrav. Have you been paid yet? Are they delayed because of the holidays?
I am still waiting for payment for shops performed in November. I thought I would be paid at the end of December, but I haven't received anything yet. I was hoping that payment was delayed because of the holidays. I will wait a couple of more days before contacting KSS.
I'm glad it's not just me that hasn't been paid. But I'm hoping someone decides to pay for November shops. I wasn't planning on doing two 40.00 shops for free. I emailed them, but haven't heard back.
Well, I got turned down for all 3 shops that I applied for. Since they only paid $5.00 each (phone call only), I am not heartbroken.

My apologies, Dear Kinesis. Turns out that my slow payment is due from Service Sleuth, not you. My error.
