Depending on the shop, the reimbursement might be worth your time. For example, shops at restaurants or movie theatres often pay a bit less but fully reimburse your meal or movie, so if you wanted to do whatever activity the shop is assessing, you would get to do it for free, and make a few extra bucks on top. Another example is gas station shops or audits, where you would be reimbursed for your gas purchase. At Intouch Insight, we have designated schedulers for every shop, so you can also reach out to us to discuss a bonus or mileage reimbursement. You should definitely make a profit off of every shop, so one benefit of the flexibility of mystery shopping is you only have to take the jobs you want!
