If you spend all day and they pay you $20, that's really not that great.

Are you. Misspelling it on purpose, or is that a specific company you use?

You must know someone who'll take your blood sample and will invite you for a make up party. Once you're there you have to swear you'll never talk about it outside the circle and sign a contract.

How do you get involved in this??

companies hire me to go shopping and evaluate the store and customer service for them. for example, tomorrow i'm going car shopping. i'll go to a few car dealers and pretend i want to buy a car. i spend the day doing that. sometimes it's grocery shopping, going to the bank, jewelry, clothes shopping, etc..

I think that sounds fun. How much do you get paid for that?

It depends on the assignment... For every car dealership I get $20. Stuff like Chipottle and other fast foods it's $15 plus the cost of the food I ate. ID compliance places like gas station, convenience and ABC stores it's $10 plus the cost of the alcohol/tobacco.

You must write a report or fill out a survey within 24 hours of the assignment. It's pretty fun I'd say.

Do you get keep whatever it is you bought? I mean obviously the Chipotle is yours lol, but what about the alcohol or other actual products?

Yup. But there's a cap to spend.

OP here. I do mistery shopping and I was just wondering what DCUMs would say about me if they knew what I do.

I've done some mystery shopping. I signed up with a couple of companies and get their emails. I haven't done it in awhile. Most of the ones reimbursed for what I had to spend (e.g., postage at post office up to $10) and then paid $5 or $10. Granted, it didn't take a lot of time but it really wasn't worth it and there was no way that I could rely on it for a steady stream of income. If you search under mystery shopping, you may find some threads.

Do you know anyone who does it? What do you think of them?
