I can recommend reading the instructions for the shop really well and take detailed notes.
Always :)
Hey, I see you've got your Globetrotter badge :) It was being tweaked and adjusted last week, so there might have been some variations in the badge levels that you were seeing, but it should be all good and working now.
Cheers!
Welcome aboard ladies, and good luck with your shops!
As for the badges, you can read all about them on this thread: https://www.secretshopforum.com/thread/1/2/205/the-badge-system
Yes, that's right.
In the specific example of Costco shops, a lot of shoppers do several shops (price audits) at the same location simultaneously, and then they do the same on another Costco location, often on the same day.
I remember there was one person who completed a total of 30 Costco shops in a single day - 6 shops per location, 5 locations in total. However, this is not so common, and you have to be fairly experienced in those shops and comfortable with doing multiple shops in one visit, as well as familliar with the locations layouts, as each shop requires you to spend more time at the location, risking to be discovered as a shopper.
For starters, you can try doing 2 (or 3) at the same location in one visit, and/or doing shops at various locations. It's certainly doesn't hurt to try, and take baby steps until you're comfortable with doing as many as you'd like.
Cheers!
