Here is a list of 7 scheduling companies for you to apply to. A scheduling company fills assignments for mystery shopping companies. That means applying to one scheduling company connects you with dozens of mystery shopping companies.
Apply to all seven of these companies! If you want more assignments, better assignments, or more choices, then it will be worth your effort.
- Kern Scheduling. Kern is one of the largest scheduling companies out there. They are very reputable. I highly recommend registering with them!
- ShadowShopper. This is one of the most controversial scheduling companies out there — because they charge a fee for their services. However, many shoppers have gotten their start with ShadowShopper, and recommend them wholeheartedly.
- Direct Scheduling Services. This company sometimes posts jobs on my very own job board at MysteryShopForum.com. They have a good reputation. They are still relatively new — so they might not have as many assignments for you yet.
- Coast to Coast Scheduling Services. Another reputable company. You can search for assignments without registering. Pretty handy.
- A Cut Above Scheduling Services — They seem to no longer be in business. Does anyone know about this?
- BLD Scheduling Services
- Quality Scheduling Group
I have been with six of the seven for some time and they are very good to work with. They are professonials. I intend to sign up with the seventh one today.

Thanks Jacob I am signed with two of the seven. I am signed with many different companies since I started and have proven to be a very good shopper.
#5 “A Cut Above” just seems like it has a bunch of links to other “pay to shop” sites…. Am I missing something?
Mar4JC,
wow — that’s interesting. It seems that their website is no longer there, and was replaced by a bunch of junk. It could be that they went out of business???
Jacob
Jacob,
Here’s the corrected link for A Closer Look
http://www.a-closer-look.com
I think this is the company you were looking for, not “A Cut Above”.
- Maribel
mar4JC,
thanks for the link to A Closer Look. They appear to be a legitimate company. They’re not the one I was looking for though! Very similar name to “A Cut Above” but not quite.
Jacob
Thank you for the scheduling companies I an just beginning and I am interested in applying to as many as I can, I don’t know very much about secret shoppers yet but I am doing as much research as I can before I get serious about doing the actual shopping. I don’t want to get caught up in a scam where I am over my head. All the info that is available to me I want to get it.
I have taken a few test and they want 9 or above, I only made a 5 , is there any way to improve my score? I would appreciate any help in that area.
Thanks again Jinnie
It’s http://www.a-cutabove.com. Her name is Cari Zittel.
Hi Jacob,
I’d like to know if there are any tester jobs for laptops that you are able to keep?
Thanks
i am very interested in becoming a mystery shopper.your company was recommended to me.thanks and i look forward to hearing from you soon
Hi Jacob,
I’m impressed as always I’ve been with Kern almost the entire three months I’ve been shopping they rock. I get call backs from them for more shops and this month my scheduler actually contacted me with a list of things to see if I wanted them before she posted them!! Makes me feel like I’m finally breaking in.
can I change my user name
Hi, Jacob just wanted to know more about mystery shoppers exactly what it is and do I just sign up with anyone even if it is my first time. Please give me any kind of advice. Thank you!
