Bestmark-Been Paid. Visitor wrote:
"I have
done work for BestMark. My complaint against them is that they do not want to pay for
their restaurants shops. Only reimburse for meals. NO tip reimbursment. No expenses on 25
miles or more."
Another visitor wrote: "I have been paid by Best Mark and agree with the
comments posted, in addition, I would say they require a great deal of reporting for no
actual compensation and if you miss any of their steps, they do not want to pay." Another
visitor wrote: "I have always been paid quickly. If I have
severalshops in the month, it will be 1 check at the end of the SAME month
- NO "middle of the next month delay" If I only have 1 or 2
shops, the check is at my door in 5-7 days. (quick considering it's over
1900 miles!)
I would not expect to be paid for an incomplete job, so I have no problem
with not being paid if I skip parts of the survey.
Although I ama on my 3rd rep in 2 years, all of the reps (incl others at
co.) with whom I have spoken have been VERY friendly and helpful. (I am
still in contact with my previous 2 who left the company.)
Only complaints: 1. fine dining allowance is often short of actual
expense, much less tip, 2. it often takes a great deal of time for
survey." Another wrote "Bestmark
(they pay quickly and they have many new shops that pay you for going to
retail places, as well as reimbursement shops for restaurants)" Another
wrote "I have been paid by Best Mark Audit. I have accepted
more assignments with this company because they were the first company to
pay me. Many of the shops don't even require a purchase, just a
business card." |

Visitor wrote: "On your Mystery Shopping page
you have a link to Investigative Marketing Services. Please be aware
that this company does not pay its shoppers. I have been owed money
($300+) since July 2001 and the company is either silent or makes excuses
when contacted. Efforts with external parties to claim what is owed
have all been unfruitful. Hundreds of other shoppers are also owed
money. Please stop promoting this link. Thank you."

National Shopping Service
Visitor wrote: "National Shopping Service: I won't do shops
for them anymore. It took them several months and phone calls on my part
to get paid. I probably spent more on the phone calls than I made, but it
was the principle of the thing. I wonder how many people they didn't
pay."
Another visitor wrote "I've worked for National
Shopping Service for more than 8 years now, never once have I not been
paid! I have only had positive interactions with them!"
Another wrote "I have visited National Shoppping
Service and find them to be very unprofessional. I wrote to tell
them to take me off the list. Questions arn't answered and payment
takes 6 weeks."
Another wrote "I dealt with Rex at NSS. He
e-mailed me to ask me to do a shop. We stayed in contact until I was
paid, and never once did he not answer an e-mail. He told me when
checks would be mailed, and I received my reimbursement within a week
after the check had gone out. I asked him about the comment made by
someone who frequents this page. He said he would treat me right,
and he did."

with PRG for a few years now. They always pay on time and their reps are
wonderful. The only snag is that not everyone can work for them because
you must own both a laptop and a digital camera in order to complete their
shops. I did not own either when i first talked to them, but i purchased
both the items and i have had a steady monthly income from them ever
since. Purchasing these items were well worth the work i have received" |

Secret Shopnet- Visitor wrote:
"I have worked for them for almost 2 years. They pay on time -every time! (I have
several times gotten my pay earlier than payday!) Jobs are fequently posted and
plentlyful. I pickup a few hundred dollars each month shopping for them. Everything is
internet based, They are one very well organized,pleasant company to work for."
Another Visitor Wrote: "I question the comment regarding Secret ShopNet, specifically,
the shopper making a "few hundred dollars per month". You are
only allowed a maximum of 15 shops/month at $10 CDN or $7 US per hour. I
have never seen a job in excess of 1 hour, nor one that reimburses over
$15. Perhaps the money spoken of is an exageration. Also, jobs in Alberta
are not plentiful, as mentioned. However, the company is efficient and
does pay on time."
Another
visitor wrote: "I have been doing assignments for Secretshop
net (Service Intelligence) for several months. Great company and yes I too
have made Excellent money. I have met several Mystery shoppers and am
afraid to let them know about the site..I don't want to lose my extra
income! :)"
Another visitor wrote: "I too have worked steadily for SecretShopNet and have
earned $200 in my first month with them. The comment above stating
that they only have jobs that pay $7.00 is untrue. Some of my jobs
have been for 2 to 3 hours @ $7 per hour, with reimbursements for
purchases up to $19.00."
