    Has anyone ever signed up to a mystery shopping agency?

    It sounds like a fun money-maker but I don’t really know where to start.

    Years ago I tested one of the sites out and got to mystery shop at a well-known fast-food company.

    It was a bit stressful because you literally had to time everything (how long until you got your order etc.) so you needed a stopwatch without looking suspicious, but it was great fun. The closest I’ve ever got to feeling like a spy!

    i did a few years ago and it was really handy. However, I now find that you have to pass a test to get in and the last time I tried (a few years ago) I failed!

    It is a really good thing to do if you can get in, though, as you get all sorts of freebies. I used it as a way to go out to eat for free. It was good for me too as I have opinions about everything so with mystery shopping I could tell them what I thought as well as getting paid!

    It always feels like there’s so many barriers for these sort of things!

    Thanks for the feedback Marc and Jasmine, will definitely give it a try in the new year (I think it’s a bit too cold to be mystery shopping right now.)
