Hey Melody, It can actually be better if you don’t live in the Metroplex. In rural areas companies need shoppers a little more desperately and may offer a bonus to shop it.

Shops pay from $7-20 on average. If you go to a mall, you can try to set a few up at the same time and then make say $50 in one trip. Some restaurant shops only reimburse you for your meal instead of paying you a fee.

A few questions for you: If you don’t live in the metroplex, is it still possible to do well with secret shopping? We have a mall close by, but just not the huge department stores and such. We just don’t have access to everything like the metroplex does.
Also, how does it work as far as, do I have to buy something with my own money and then turn in a receipt to get reimbursed later along with a paycheck for the shop? Have you ever had to buy a large ticket item?
