ACE Mystery Shopping reimbursement-only shops where you buy jewelry

I keep getting emails from ACE Mystery Shopping for a new shop where you need to buy a piece of inexpensive jewelry from an online site (but by phone), but it's reimbursement only (up to $15, including shipping). Oddly it's only for age 40+. Has anyone done these before? I'm not real inclined to do a reimbursement-only shop for something I don't need when there is a chance I won't even get reimbursed. But having this thread will hopefully be useful for anyone considering doing it.

I received numerous emails, but that shop doesn't appeal to me. Nothing on that site I would even want, yet alone just for reimbursement.
I did something like it last year, and have worn the scarf I purchased multiple times. Because you can't do more than one of the shops I think the company is hoping to get repeat customers.

I, too, did something similar for a different company. ACE is requiring only shoppers who do not have an account with the online site.

There's a $5 fee now in addition to a $15 reimbursement.
Yes, I thought that had changed. How quickly do they pay?
According to ACE, shoppers will be paid by the end of the following month via direct deposit.
That is good to know they added a fee. I browsed the website when I first got the email but the baubles and gewgaws didn't appeal to me.

First time customers should get free shipping and 20% off, but there's sales tax. So, a shopper can order something that is listed above $15 and still be covered. I am not interested in jewelry and a lot of their items, either, but they do have useful (to me) items, such as socks, blankets, etc.
