Mystery Shopping Tip for March 15, 2009

Kern Scheduling Services - I get a lot of emails from Kern Scheduling Services. They put mystery shoppers in touch with various jobs. They also use the SASSIE system. You need to have a Paypal account.

They display the MSPA logo (Mystery Shopping Providers Association) Currently I see they have eyeglass shops available. When I did an eyeglass shop, I had to go twice, once for the exam & once to pick up the glasses but was paid well. I see this is one of the rare ones where you can take a child if your child wears corrective lens. It looks like they are working in conjunction with Beyond Hello, another legit company that I have received payment from.

This company is legit. Remeber, mystery shopping may or may not have shops in your local area depending upon the client & the size of your town. Never pay to do a mysterday. I mean, don't pay for a list or to get started. A legitimate company may ask you to make a purchase at the store you are shopping for which you are reimbursed (or allowed to return). Always keep receipts, business cards and copies of your report so you can keep track of payments due to you.
