Hi there Maureen!
I would still do a $9 shop if I planned to be in the area and would have extra time or if there were at least three of the $9 shops very close to each other. Otherwise I would not drive from home to do a $9 shop.
Completing the shop on the app on your phone is the best. Facts are fresh.
Hi Melanie. If you have been assigned the shop and are uncertain of the target, just clarify with the scheduler.
Doing shops while travelling IS fun. I do it occasionally when going to the beach house in the United States. (I live in Canada) You apply for them just like the ones at home. Reply time is the same. I can self assign 5 shops, so do that before travelling.
Good evening, Rebecca! I hope you have fun mystery shopping. Are you in United States or Canada? It seems that there are more shops in the States.
Hi Amy,
Where is far north? Last year when I began to mystery shop I did shops for 7 companies. I have cut it down to 3 that I like doing the shops and reports. I do mainly do shops for the hotels, flights, clothing, and gas. Sometimes when I have time I will do it for extra cash. I find my planner good enough for my needs. When I was shopping for 7 companies I found it was taking over my life.
I hope you continue to have fun, Amy.
At first I underestimated how long shops would take me. I felt overwhelmed. It is a great feeling when you do shops you have done before and it goes more smoothly and quickly.
