True guest hotel shops

Has anyone done a hotel shop with True Guest? Just wondering how difficult they are to complete and if they are fair. How quickly do you get reimbursed? Thanks for the input

More About Hotel Mystery Shopping

I have done many hotel shops for TrueGuest. The reports are long but not difficult. The instructions are simple. I have always been reimbursed within 2 weeks by check. The hotel charges have been reversed in a timely fashion as well. Hope this helps.

The 2-night ones are a lot easier than the one night ones. For the 2 night shops, the work is spread out more.

how do they compare to say Coyle or ACL hotel shops?

I find them to be about the same amount of aggregation factor as Coyle (same amount, but for totally different reasons). Much, much more work than ACL - but much, much nicer properties. Also, there is a huge difference between those that are done using the online platform vs. those done in Excel. The ones in Excel I think are much less aggravating.

I've signed up with Coyle and have been thinking about doing a shop that's near me. How are they? Do they reimburse you fully and provide a shopper's fee?

If you just signed up with Coyle you’ll never get a hotel shop right away. They’ll make you slog through a dozen or more restaurants before they allow you a hotel. And even then they’ll let your application for those restaurants stagnate for well over a month before assigning it to someone else.

It took me 11 restaurant shops before I was assigned my first hotel with Coyle. They only assigned me because someone cancelled and they needed it done. Luckily for me, I scored highly and received a second one when I applied.

They do offer a pay fee which is listed on the shop. Some offer travel fees too. Some shops are folio reversals and some are reimbursement.

That's how I got my first Coyle hotel, too. The scheduler sent out an urgent request for a crappy local restaurant. I told her I'd take it that night if she assigned me a hotel in the city. The hotel wasn't really worth it...

My hotel room sucked so bad. My area is over saturated with shoppers, so much so that I don't even get their phone shops I apply for.
