I love the last week of the month. That's when the bonuses pop up and make traveling for mystery shops worthwhile. I'm spending four nights this week along the Florida panhandle. Today I am doing shops in Niceville, Fort Walton Beach, Destin and Panama City Beach. I'll be finished by lunchtime, will have earned $146, and will have the rest of the day for leisure. These are the types of shops I enjoy. Who can complain about spending a few hours taking photos of gas stations when you conclude the day by changing into swim trunks and heading to the beach?
Two of the four nights are in hotels I am mystery shopping. These are "DE-ID" shops - the easiest there are. When a hotel loses its franchise, this shop is dispatched to ensure the hotel has removed its old brand logos, ranging from signage to the Do Not Disturb placard. I take up to 8 photos and comment about any compliance issues. Service, cleanliness, etc. are not observed. The actual work takes no more than 15 minutes, and my stay is reimbursed and I am paid $40 for my trouble.
Why can't all mystery shops be this fun?
