Mystery Shopping

Similar to paid surveys, you can get paid to shop and eat as a mystery shopper. Here is a huge list of mystery shopping companies, the ones in bold font and red color are the ones I have heard positive feedback from the real mystery shoppers, so you might want to try those first.

I have 3 mystery shops that i can do and I would like to know if this is standard to ask for my social security #? mngrandma2 2. 27-03-2008 16:31 Hi mngrandma2,    Most mystery shopping companies will ask you to provide SS#, since they might need to report your earnings to IRS and send you a 1099 form if you make over $600 a year.    If you have more questions, I suggest you visit MSPA website (http://www.mysteryshop.org/shoppers/), there are lot of good info there, and a message board you can ask questions.    Good luck and Best regards! Mei 3. 12-04-2008 12:19 Be Wary of B.E.S the recruiter isn't very prfessional. Mystery 4. 12-04-2008 12:56 Hi Mystery,    Thanks for the information! Mei 5. 22-05-2008 08:59 Watch out for Kern Scheduling! Their schedulers aren't very well trained and often drop the ball in being the "go-between" with their clients. Careful that your pay isn't delayed because you're offered a shop for a project that expired with their client months ago (actually happened). LaurasMom 6. 22-05-2008 18:17 Hi laurasMom,    Thanks very much for the heads up and feedback! Mei 7. 27-05-2008 22:12 your site is incredible very accurate to what I have experienced. I was wondering if you could pos your 2007 earnings for each opportunity you do I.e surveys, ptr, ptd, and mystery shopping. I made $75 in Austin tc offline irs research study 2 hours.   JP jp 8. 28-05-2008 10:51 I am also curious as to how much you can earn, yearly, utilizing all of these options. Please get back to me! N/A 9. 09-07-2008 06:57 I received a check that was counterfit.What do I do I can\'t afford to do this. I owe the bank $100.00 by friday.
