Here is a link for those who would like to have lunch on someone elses expense account. It is the very 1st one I started working. Be forewarned though, this one is full of introductory tests and seems a bit tedious. But once you are in, you're in.

A word to the wise - never, never, ever pay to get on a list or for assignments - I repeat - do not ever pay out any money to be a secret/mystery shopper - I have been doing this for over 5 years - I have worked my way up to the more desirable shops - I have worked for over a dozen different companies - they pay me - I don't pay them - it's worth me repeating again - NEVER, EVER, PAY TO GET SHOPS

| Thanks. I did sign up for the surveys. I used to be a Synovate member but let it lapse through various crashes and rebuilds. I probably couldn't be a secret shopper anyway because of the limits on my ability to get around. | |

I cannot express this enough - NEVER EVER PAY A FEE OR DEPOSIT OR ANY OTHER MONETARY REQUEST - those are scams - THEY PAY YOU
http://www.aboutfacecorp.com/shopper_become_newshopquestions.html http://secretshopper.com/info/shoppers/shopperIntro.asp I will send others - I started out like all newbies - I got the fast food, low end retail, and gas shops - but you work up to the finer shops - look at it as a pastime - not as income - soon you will be able to pick and choose the better shops and you will find new companies on your own - the best shops I have had were the luxury hotels with room service requirements - they are like mini honeymoons for me and MrDD - he likes those ones |

| http://shop.feedbackplus.com/ - I think if you click on the "can't login" link you can sign up that way - I have been doing these shops for several years - I can't remember how I signed up for the different companies for whom I shop - I think most request I submit email addresses as referrals - I haven't ever referred anyone so I will have to check into it - I do them when MrDD and I are out on our bread route - it saves me from preparing dinner later - many times we are out on the bread route very late - most shops are good for buying lunch for yourself and your kids or dinner out for you and your spouse - I have never made any real money - a small shop fee and reimbursement - but it is one meal we didn't have to pay for | |

| as for the first link at the very top - it is www.secrectshopnet.com - I don't know if they changed it or if I typed it in wrong - it was so long ago - but they are the very 1st company I began - they have lots of tests and they keep you on your toes - but it proved very helpful when I began applying to other secret shopping companies - it is a pain in the rear, but it gave me something different to do while driving the streets on my bread route - MrDD let me keep the pittance I received until I would make $100 - then he would go put it in my Roth - if I were younger with my sons still at my knee, I would have saved the meager earnings for trip to Disney Land - when my sons were little, we lived about 45 minutes from there in Calif. - and it only cost about $20 a person | |

Off topic, but since you mentioned it first...
I went to Disneyland two years ago after not having been there since the early 80s. Spent the entire day reeling around crashing into walls and muttering to myself over the price increases.
