I am always looking for ways to save money and stretch our money.
I had a friend refer me to a secret shopper company called Best Mark. You get paid to go to stores ask questions and fill out a survey on your experience.
I know I’m simplifying it a bit.
They send me an email of these are shops that are in my area. If I find something that I’m able to do, I say I want to do it and select from the days they are offering the shop, the one that works best for me. I read instructions on what areas I need to ask questions on and things I need to observe.
Then on the day of the shop, I go to the store and do what the instructions asked. Usually it’s go to a certain department and be interested in a certain product and ask questions about it. I come home answer my questions and then submit any receipts and in about 2 weeks I get a check mailed to me (really!)
They also do car dealership shops, where you can get your tires rotated, oil changed or just visit or call a dealership for information and you get paid too.
It’s really getting paid to do things you would already do, just being more observant of them and answering questions.
All you need to do to sign up is fill out a form.
You will be contacted when your application is accepted so you can start making money.
