LIST OF BUSINESSES WHO
WILL PAY YOU TO SHOP
The following is a listing of several of the larger businesses who will pay people, just like you, to shop as Mystery Shoppers. Each one operates differently. If you would like to Mystery Shop for any of them, you can do so either by writing or calling. When you contact these businesses, please try to be professional and above all courteous. How you act may be a significant factor as to whether or not you receive an upcoming Shopping Adventure from them.
Since each of these businesses are different, you cannot possibly expect to get the same amount of money for each Shopping Adventure that you may go on. If you got paid $25 to shop for a half hour from one business, that does not mean that the next business will pay you that same amount. Some of these businesses will allow you to get additional free merchandise when you shop. That depends on which store you’ll be shopping at and what terms you have agreed to, before you shop.
From now on you should deal only with these businesses. If you have questions about a Shopping Adventure that you are going on, please contact the business that assigned you the job. We will not be able to help you with any questions regarding your Mystery Shopping Adventures.
Please keep in mind that Mystery Shopping is not a 9 to 5 job. The Shopping Adventures that you may go on will vary. On a given day you might get your hair dyed, test drive a brand new Lincoln, and buy a new pair of designer slacks. There also may be days or a week that you do not do any shopping at all. We cannot make a claim for the number of Shopping Adventures you will go on in any given time period. It all depends on the availability of stores to shop at in your local area, as well as if you are willing to travel and what times you are available to shop. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t meet your financial goals the first week. Everything takes time. Stick with it and enjoy your Mystery Shopping!

If you don’t hear back from one of the businesses right away, they will of course keep your name on file until they need you. Note: Most of these businesses operate nationwide. Merely because their corporate address is not near you, it doesn’t mean that you can’t shop for them in your local area.
