Yeah I used to mystery shop. I took the summer off when the kids were home from school. I'm just now thinking of getting back into it. It doesn't pay much, but it's easy money. Like a PP said, you do have to be picky about the shops you do. I've decided since gas prices are so high I'll only do local shops in my town now. I've mostly done bank & grocery shops. The bank shops paid $15 and grocery shops normally paid $8 with reimbursement (which equal free groceries!). I've also done shops at a restaraunt, a bowling alley, & Radio Shack. The hardest thing about mystery shopping is remembering all the facts & details! You have to remember names & descriptions of everyone you have contact with and other specifics they ask for. All the reports I've done have been online, mostly answering easy questions with a few descriptive paragraphs. And you have to be able to submit your receipts- either by fax or by scanning it & sending it in.

Basically- if you're looking for a good, steady source of income than this isn't for you. If you're looking for an easy way to make a little bit of money in your spare time- then I say try it.
