GAPBuster Worldwide (Mystery Shopping)
This is a Mystery Shopping opportunity. The first time I heard of 'Mystery Shopping' I thought that although it sounded interesting and very 'undercover', I did not quite trust the concept of spending and hoping to be paid back what you spent and some more to make it worth your while. I finally came across a company which hires Maltese citizens and offers assignments locally. This company was GAPBuster Worldwide.
This has most of what I look for in home based work: (a) Work as much or as little as you wish and (b) No fixed shifts. They frequently place new assignments on their website showing when and what should be done. Your task would be to go to the required shop/restaurant/outlet, eat in or order take away according to the assignment instructions, time the whole procedure (from when you gave your order up till you walk out), email the details you have gathered together with proof of the purchase and you will be compensated for the purchase plus something extra. Once you register, you need to go through 'Orientation' tests, which are very easy and can be retaken more than once, before accepting any assignments. Payment is sent directly to your Bank Account.
As in all jobs, this has its pros and cons.
Pros:
- You are not entitled to work each week, or are forced to complete a minimum amount of assignments to hold this opportunity.
- If you are a frequent customer of these outlets, then it would be similar to another evening out but with a difference - you have to concentrate on your work. As a side note they recommend to shop alone and not with friends :)
- If you are not a fan of the main most frequented fast food outlet then this work may become quite tedious since up to now all the assignments are for this particular outlet.
- There are some restrictions as to how many times you can shop in the same outlet. For example, you cannot shop at the same outlet twice in a row, and since assignments are only for one particular fast food company, these restrictions will keep you back from earning much.
Make sure you enter your real telephone number especially if you wish to be contacted when they need urgent next day assignments which usually pay better. They are Australian based and they have phoned me to complete urgent assignments.
If the address you register with is, say in the south of Malta, assignments in the North will pay better for you, since you need to travel further to complete the task.
Good luck - read all the information they have on their site and let us know what you think about this opportunity and how you are getting along if you signed up......:D
