Mystery shopping is a great way to enjoy some everyday services for free. You would need to check with the Mystery Shopping Providers Association (MSPA) to find out which ones are legitimate. You will not earn much money with this, but you may be able to shop or dine with monetary refund. This means that you will first pay out of pocket for the product or service provided, followed by a refund from the mystery shopping company for which you finished the assignment.
In my opinion, this is also a way for store owners and institutions to potentially attract more customers to their business. Because if you like something about a place, you might end up going back there to spend your money. Mystery shopping is like doing detective work for someone, only without the big money. You need gadgets like a camera phone, voice recorders and a scanner to send in your receipts through the net. Another thing is that there are many mystery shoppers out there, applying for the same shops as you. So you may not always be picked. Beware of the frauds, there are too many of them. When they promise too much money or have a website one minute and not the next then they are frauds. Stick with the mspa.com website and you'll be okay.
