This weekend I got to have a nice dinner at a pub with my husband. Not only was the $70 meal free, but I also received a $10 fee and got to play a spy while having dinner. I did have to submit a relatively straightforward report the next day, so it wasn't exactly "free", but for the amount of work (and fun) involved, I'd say it was a pretty sweet deal.
There are a lot of Mystery Shopping companies out there. You need to watch out, because some of them have questionable business practices, such as demanding payment for signing up to be a Mystery Shopper or failing to remunerate their Mystery Shoppers for completed assignments.
I personally have worked for a couple of such companies and have found SQM to be the most reliable one out there. This company accepts free Mystery Shopper applications on their website and has a myriad of different assignments scattered throughout North America and even a few assignments in Asia. The types of assignments available range from oil changes to restaurant evaluations to hotel stays. Lately they've even made it possible to evaluate certain Via Rail and Air Canada trips while receiving a substantial discount for the travel involved.
Do you think you have what it takes to be a spy? Why not sign up and find out! Plus, the cash you'll save from getting meals and services for free doesn't hurt, either. Nope, it doesn't hurt at all. :)
