Hello,

Would love to hear your mystery shopping experience here - be it good or bad.

Let me start off.

I've done mystery shopping for quite some time and one of my unforgettable experiences was when I was assigned to a big car company. Yes - and it so happened that company sells one of my dream cars. If you could only imagine how excited I was. And what's more - I was given a chance to test drive the car! It was a great experience!

Looking forward to be given a chance to do it again.

How do you get involved with that? I think it would be really fun.

Okay you asked for good or bad experiences...mine were mostly bad and I quit a few years ago.

Most of the shops I was sent on were boring and paid little (gas, convenience store, fast food and a few others)...all paid me for my expenses plus $5-$10 for my time....NOT WORTH IT. I then had to come home, get online and fill out the shop form with my experience and blah blah blah.

You can make some pocket change at it...only a small percentage of folks earn a good living from it.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience on mystery shopping.

I have done mystery shopping , usually on weekends and evenings. At some places i have received free pizza and free rounds of golf. I have also been to places where I've been treated badly. You will have the flexibility to choose your own days and hours and the best part is you do not need any experience to become a Mystery Shopper.

Glad to hear your experiences on mystery shopping. I have done it twice - first was with a fast food (didn't get to enjoy it) - the second was with a kid's shop which I really had fun.

Never heard of Loehmanns. Value City is pretty great though, depending on which one you go to. Also you have to go frequently as they are always getting new stuff and the good stuff sells out quickly.
