Default Re: Anyone Mystery Shop?

I did a few years ago. At the time it wasn't too bad a side job, as long as you're in a fairly urban area. I did maybe three shops a week and made about $150/mo out of it, along with some free merchandise and meals.

You have to pick your shops carefully, because some are just ridicilously work-intensive for a $10 payment. For example, you might have to shop a store and buy something, write a three page description of it, then return an hour later to return it and write another three pages. Forget it.

Also, gas is a big player now. If the store is 15 miles away, that might cost you $5 right there.
