If you’re a regular reader of my blog you know that I love doing mystery shops! I usually complete 2-4 mystery shops a month at various places including restaurants, grocery stores, stores at the mall, and even an occasional thrift shop!
I wanted to share with you a great mystery shopping company called Amusement Advantage. They are the place to go to find mystery shops for amusement and entertainment! I signed up to do a mystery shop at a local amusement park, but haven’t been picked (yet!) for the job.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the mystery shops available in my area. Job Slinger is great because it tells you the pay, distance from your zip code, and what mystery shopping company the shop is through.
Let me know if you have any questions. If you are new to mystery shopping check out the introduction to mystery shopping.


I previously did an introduction to Mystery Shopping and today I’m going to review one of my favorite mystery shopping companies, Shopper’s View.
I have done a lot of mystery grocery shopping through Shopper’s View. Sign-up is free and I can easily find 1-2 shops in my area per month through them.
After your shop you must submit your report within 24 hours. (some companies require it within 4-8 hours so this is actually much more lax).
All the shops I have done require a scan or clear picture of the receipt so you must have a scanner or digital camera to do your shops.
The only downside about this company is payment takes a little longer. If you do a mystery shop in January you will not be paid until the end of February. So it can take a little longer to get paid, but you do get payment through Paypal which is better than receiving a check.
Have any questions about mystery shopping or Shopper’s View? Leave a comment with your question and I’ll be happy to answer your question.
