Mystery Shopper

I've done mystery shop at couple of places but not a restaurant. Depends who your doing it for concerning payment and what they ask

My partner has been a mystery shopper for years. He has done all sorts of places - banks, chemists, fast food restaurants, pubs, hotels. We once had a weeks holiday in a holiday park with the children which was great!

He has noticed that generally the payments have drastically reduced in recent years. They are okay if you were going for a meal anyway, as a portion of the cost is reimbursed but many have quite a specific remit, you are told what food and drink to order and often they will only pay for one meal. You won’t make much money doing Myst Shopping, but it can be an enjoyable side line.

They tend to reimburse monthly in to your bank account.

I get emails all the time asking me to apply to be a mystery shopper are they legit I assumed they were a scam of some sort.

I always get emails but don’t really rely on them as I haven’t ever seen any actual reviews to prove that someone else has ever been involved. To be honest its really hard to trust random companies nowhere days.

I did it for House Of Fraser. It was a free meal other than the 5 - 10 minutes of my time spent filling in a survey. Payment was usually within a month but it's not really a way to earn anything. It was more of a novelty.

I have never heard of mystery shopper before. It does sound like a good idea if it is legit

Yeah Ive done restaurants , hotels and with them they do typically cost but you do get the money back .Sometimes its within the same month but its normally 1-2 months after you have done it .I would say though there is a lot to do on the assingments , sometimes u have to have a specific meal or drink but generally they are really good and enjoyable .
