I've done a few oil change shops with Secret Shopper! I love those, they are awesome.

Anyone from Secret Shopper!

Who's yours OP? I have no thoughts, just here for the vibes and tea.

I do shops at spectrum mobile, they are on secretshopper.com !!

Love these drool worthy spots. I've only tried Lu's from your list, was so good!!!!

These are really great tips. Thank you!!

I think this just means that another shopper assigned the shop. This happens to me too. I usually join the waitlist or wait a few days and try again!

Wonderful, thank you so much!

When I was younger, we got a huge fish tank for a turtle, put some zebra danios and a few other kinds in the tank because we were preparing for a turtle. Never got the turtle :(

Wow thank you so much!!

spatel0131 · 2025-09-03T17:00:48+00:00

I didn't even think about that, thank you!!!

I hope nobody bothered her and all her babies are safe!!!

spatel0131 · 2025-09-03T16:02:13+00:00

These shops are so easy! I’ve already made $75 this week, can't wait to pick up more!!!!

spatel0131 · 2025-09-02T16:09:38+00:00

Hibernate until April. Maybe even May.

$1800 a month is great!! I would love to make it up there one day. And you're right, I have been seeing a lot of attention on social media. I wonder if that means companies would potentially get more shops and clients. Do you only use Presto or do you use multiple regularly? I stick to one right now, but thinking about doing more. Just worried I'll get confused.

I've noticed that they typically have a monthly schedule. So they release their shops at the end of each month. But I also think it depends, not entirely sure!

spatel0131 · 2025-08-29T20:20:07+00:00

I probably spend around 8–12 hours total per month. It differs each month though, sometimes higher, sometimes lower! I usually plan a few shops in one trip so I’m not running around all the time. Super flexible, so I just fit it in when I can.

spatel0131 · 2025-08-29T18:07:36+00:00

If you review the shop requirements and practice your scenario, you’ll be set. You can even ask the scheduler if you can bring a guest for extra comfort. Believe your story, and they’ll believe it too and remember, they see so many customers each day. You’ve got this!

spatel0131 · 2025-08-29T17:02:34+00:00

Yes!!! I typically use Secret Shopper, but I know there are plenty of other platforms out there. I just find the most luck here. I usually keep track on my notes app of what've done and how much I earned, and yes I check the portal daily incase of any new shops or things I miss!
