Imagine being paid to drive a car like this. I was. On many occassions. I'm not telling you this to impress you, but to impress upon you the lifestyle that is on offer with mystery shopping.
All the forums I have found are full of people who seem to treat mystery shopping as a hobby - simply a way of earnng a bit of pin money or getting a free burger. Well it's true, there are lots of mystery shopping agencies out there that have a huge volume of poorly paid assignments, however there are also some excellent agencies that offer premium assignments - you just have to know where to look and how to register with them.
