Has anyone seen where a mystery shop moves to a new MS Company? The report is longer yet the pay is dropped in half! No thank you. :-)

LOL I have done the CT Dynamic reviews and I guess depends on the manager. My location is awful so no longer do them.

McD photo shop was ok but did on my McD app. I have never done the delivery or kiosk version.

Most challenging but enjoy them are casino shops. You need exact times, names and slot locations. Lots of details but good reimbursement and pay.

Kind of funny that a competitor gas station shop (Pilot) pays more and easier than the actual gas station shop (Loves). Has anyone else seen this? I personally will not do Loves anymore as they want over 10 photos. Very obvious you are the shopper. The competitor zero photos and only 5 questions. Guess which shop I am doing? :-)

[...] The survey must be completed that same day (not 24 hours) or the system removes it. Also mistakes get the shop declined, not incomplete, DECLINED. [...]

Missed this part. That is awful when a shop gets declined that you spend a lot of time on. Lesson learnt!

How much time do you give when doing a repeat restaurant shop? I gave it 3 months and had to really use my mystery shopping skills. She remembered me from before so even greeted me by name. Made sure she mentioned all items they are looking for. The only item she got a no on last time was gift cards so she made sure to offer me multiple times! LOL She got a perfect report of course so glad it was not rejected. I might have to give it at least 6 months before doing this location again. :-)

I have seen some bank ones in Canada where you can pick any bank and complete a shop. I have never done one of these. I like to know which bank is paying me and the mystery shopping company first. :-)

I hope your first shop went well! I have been a shopper for over 20 years so my first shop was long time ago. Yes - we had Internet back then but one gas shop was still paper based. They mailed you a survey, you filled it out and mailed it back with your receipt.

I'm old - had to look it up and my first shop was for a video store back in 2003! Jumbo video in Canada where you got free popcorn. :-)

Best advice I have is to read the instruction carefully. Even if you have done the shop before, as these can change often.

Depends on what the shop is. Normally yes but I have gotten into Sam's Club and Costco in Michigan without a membership by stating I am purchasing alcohol. It is against Michigan law to need a membership to purchase this. I'm not sure on other states.

Completing a pizza shop and the example photos they want make me laugh! They don't have to take photos with customers and employees in the photo. It is very obvious you are the shopper as you are taking photos of all pizza slices. :-)

Any here use Mobee? Any challenges with pictures or the shops? Kind of different you get paid in gift cards for mystery shops. Nice part for me is Canada and USA locations are shown as live right at the border. Thanks for the feedback!
