Mystery Shopping Sites
There are genuine mystery shopping sites that are honest and pay their shoppers handsomely. Mystery shopping has gotten a bad wrap in the past few years. Here is how you can really get paid with legitimate shopping companies. These are companies that have good track records and some are not so new to the industry.
Intellishop: This company is not for the beginner. They require a lot of narratives most of the time. Shop fees are $8.00- 20.00. There are some requirements to be accepted as a qualified shopper. You will have to write a sample essay on a shopping trip you did. They also have reimbursement shops where you shop and get a portion of the money back for an item or the entire amount back. Most shops you can self assign through the online system. This is one of those mystery shopping companies that will rate you on your report 1-10. If you get a 1, you will probably never shop for them again. They do not want to have to correct your reports for their corporate clients. It is highly recommended that you have very good grammar skills to work for them.
Beyond Hello: Here is a company that pays $10- $20.00 for your help in the mystery shopping world. They require a sample narrative when you sign up so they can see how you write. Reports are required to be spell checked and proper grammar is required. You will be rated on a scale of 1-10 and you will lose points as well as jobs if you don't check your work and make sure its right.

Market Force: This is a great company to work for. If you prove to be a good mystery shopper, they will call you when other shoppers cancel their shops. This is a way to pick up extra work. You usually get a bonus for doing quick shops that have been cancelled. They have a very user friendly system. Their pay range is from $8.00-$20.00 per shop with re-imbursements as well. These shops are self assign through their online system.
All reports are processed online. This is one of the top mystery shopping sites.

Service Intelligence : This company has lots of shops with lots of different companies. They require that you take a test for each individual company and a refresher almost every month as things change. You are required to pass the test 100% in order to be able to select shops. Most shops are self assign. Some may be assigned to you according to your experience if you're interested. Pay ranges from $7.00- $25.00 per shop. This is a easy company to work with.

Second to none: Good paying jobs starting at $9.00. with reimbursements for purchases. These shops can be selected, but are upon approval as well for final decision, so they are no self assign. There is some equipment to be purchased and the fee for the equipment is taken out of first months pay but it's minimal at around $25.00. If returned, they will give you a deposit back on the equipment if you no longer want to work for them. http://www.second-to-none.com/expertise.asp
Ritter and Assoc: This one has been around since 1974. They not only do have mystery shop jobs but price and compliance audits as well.

Cybershopper(GFK Shop): These are mystery and reveal shops as well. Pay averages from $7.00 - $10.00. There is a long test with each company you want to shop for at this site. The test is more difficult than the usual test. Once you pass the test though, it is easy sailing with this company as they one of the pleasant mystery shopping sites to work for.

I've had good luck with Market Force, although I have not tried the others. Thanks for the info, maybe I'll give a few others a try.
