| Any experience with mystery shopping?? Has anyone ever been a mystery shopper? I've been considering it, to make some extra money on the side. I just don't know what is legit and what is a scam. Anyone have any experience with this who is willing to help guide me?

| Mystery shopping to me is shopping with my husband having no idea. It's a mystery to him! He'll ask me, what did you buy now? I tell him "Nothing, I got that along time ago" hehehehe I know this is no help to you but I'd though I share my views on mystery shopping. LOL

Donating YT 30K Club Member | My girlfriend did it for 1 store coldwater Creek. She had to go 4 times and spend 100.00 each time, that she got from them, but she had to take note of a lot of things. She enjoyed it but always ended up spending more than the 100.00. Of course she has a spending problem BAD!

| Mystery shopping is great!!! My friend is a shopper. I went with her one day, and she had to time how long it took for someone to ask if we needed help. Then we had to go to lunch, and see just how much time everything took. I felt so sneaky. It was fun, she wanted me to do it with her, but I can't leave Princess home that long. She's with me 24/7, and I love it. I know you have to make reports, and you get to keep a lot of the stuff you buy. I'd love to be a Mystery Shopper at Macys, LOL, I'm there so much, I'm sure they would catch on. Now if they ever let you bring your furbaby with you, hmmmmm I'd think about it, but then again I'd miss out on a lot of fun here. So I'd have to think really hard. But if you have the time, I'd say check it out, it's fun, but sneaky

| I guess I have never heard of a mystery shopper. But anything to do with shopping would be so much fun!

hehehe, well I used to pay with my credit card if there was money on it. I'm bad, I know! But I'm trying to pay it off but will from time to time use it but I have to admit most of my mystery shopping is paid with cash.

| i have applied to be a mystery shopper but have not had the time to do it. most of the companies make you take a test and once completed, you could go. most was fast food resturants and you would have to go twice a day. they would make you pay with your own money and at the end of the month you would send in a receipt. you could not spend more that 7$$ per visit. in my area it doesnt appear worth while b/c everything is w fast foods and not the good things like HOTEL stays or Clothing stores. if i find out anything differnt, i will let you know.

| I will continue researching. The only bad thing is that I don't eat fast food so that would be one area I wouldn't visit but I wonder if some let you choose. Anyone know?
