Tara: I just read the info on the main page where it shows you about the three er ways to recruit. It states " If they register you will earn points toward your Recruiter badge!
So it would appear that referring one person starts you on the road to earning the badge, but one referral does not earn you the badge.
How many referrals does it take to get the badge? . That is a great question, but unfortunately I do not have the answer to that one.
Allison: At one time I had difficulty getting the app to open on the iPad , when it would open easily on my Android phone., but not the issue that you had. Do you know if the version of the app is the latest one?
Perhaps it could be an issue of needing an update.
Hello Amanda. Welcome to the world of mystery shopping. It is worth scrolling through the various topics in the forum to pick up some tips and hints. I hope you enjoy your shops. , Mike

Selon mon expérience, au fur et à mesure que votre réputation grandit et que vous développez un historique qui respecte ou dépasse les normes définies, le nombre de magasins pour lesquels vous êtes pré-approuvé augmente.J'espère que ceci vous aide.
hello Patricia: Welcome to mystery shopping. I guess the first thing I would say to your one line statement is "What type of assistance do you require?"
But after I said that I would add that a generic statement such as the one you posted does not really help anyone who may be willing to assist you because you have given no one any clue about what type of assistance you require. I would suggest that you do yourself a favor and think about some questions that will truly warrant a response that will provide you with the answers that you need.
That way you will be able to move ahead and start earning money.
To Kristi: Further to what has been offered by Kristopher and Tara, in case it was not clear to you, everything that they said is valid for us Canadian mystery shoppers as well. Your questions though say to me that you have yet to familiarize yourself with the different areas on the site.
if you start and take a look at any offerings that are in your area, you can read some preliminary information on what is expected. If you feel that it is something that you can do and do well, take a chance and bid on it by placing the date that you would be able to do the shop. Once you are awarded the shop and complete the required shiop, you input the results, FINALIZE THE SHOP and then you can track the process where it moves from your in basket to the section where it is under review. Once it is approved it moves into the payment area and then the payment is sent to your Paypal account (depending upon the guidelines set up by the MSP) On the home page there is a cumulative tracker showing dollars earned this year and also a total earned over time.
But the best thing to do is familiarze yourself with the various aspects of the app.
I have never been approached by anyone at any time about being a mystery shopper. However if I was, my response would be something like
A " You are a mystery shopper aren't you?"
ME: " Huh, what's that?" or "Is that really a thing?" or " i get a meal for free,? where do I sign up?"
The trick is to never acknowledge that you are indeed a shopper, or that you know anything about this thing called mystery shopping.
Many shops are paid to a Paypal account, so if you do not have one, you should open one promptly. It would be a good idea to use the same address that has been given to the shopping organization. That way the link will be established between your work and where the money is sent. I believe it is possible to change your email address associated with your Paypal account, if you already have one in another email address. Good Luck!
