Secret Shopping FAQs

If you are newly working for mystery shopping services , or if you would like to work for one, there are probably many questions that you have about this job industry. Working at this sort of job can be confusing at first, and certainly overwhelming, but it does not have to be if you have the right information about the things you need to know.

Many people who decide to work for mystery shopping services wonder when and what method they will be paid by. The answer to this is simply that mystery shopping services are different, and therefore have their own rules of conduct for this type of thing. Many times, you will get paid a base pay by the hour, sometimes including time spent in travel. In addition to this you might be reimbursed for items you are required to purchase on the job. You could possibly be issues a specific credit card or gift card in order to make purchases on the job. Mostly, if you end up using your own money to make a purchase on any given job, if you do not get reimbursed, you will merely get paid more by the hour. It is simply a matter of which company you work for. You should definitely make sure you know what the rule for this are before you sign with any mystery shopping services or go on any job for them.

Another thing people worry about or question initially is whether they will have time for this type of job. Those who have a full time job but also wish to do this on the side wonder if they will have a strict schedule or a set amount of required hours. The answer to this is no. Almost always, you will set your own schedule, going on jobs that are most likely in the area you live, at a time that is convenient to you. The amount of hours you work is entirely up to you as well. Most companies allow you to choose however many or few jobs you think you can handle in a given time span. The important thing to remember about this is that you should never chose more jobs than you think you can handle. If you ever have to skip a job, or worse, if you forget a job, you probably will not be asked to go on a job again, and obviously this is not something impressive for your resume.

One main question that people newly working for mystery shopping services have is if they can bring someone with them when they are on the job. This of course also depends on the specific company you are employed by, but many times this is a perfectly permissible thing to do, as long as the person or people you are accompanied by know the importance of your task and that they must not give away what you are trying to accomplish. Children sometimes are a bit more complicated, as they could tend to blurt something out unintentionally. The easiest thing to do in this case is to simply ask your supervisor what you should do. And remember for yourself that you will be on a serious job, not simply a leisurely day out with a friend, and you will have work to do and things to notice and take into account. You will not want someone there who will distract you from getting the job done properly.
