Bestmark is one of the first companies that I started working for when I began mystery shopping. They were very helpful and eager for me to become successful as a mystery shopper. Since that time, I have done automotive dealership shops, retail store shops, and restaurants. Their instructions and forms are clear and easy-to-use. I’ve also been fortunate enough to work with them to complete some long distance jobs, and we were able to negotiate fair bonus and mileage reimbursements for these special situations. On the other hand, I have occasionally accepted jobs from Bestmark that simply don’t pay much, but I know that they are in a bind, and I can trust that they will remember my support the next a higher paying job comes along.

    I mystery shopped for BESTMARK until they docked my pay for a late submission. Their policy is review deadlines are at 10 am, I submitted mine at 10:02 am. Two minutes? You are going to haggle about two minutes. The customer service personnel at Bestmark then berated me when I told them I thought this was bad for business and fostering an unpleasant working relationship. I will not be working for a company that squabbles over 2 minutes, I don’t care what their policy is. My policy is work for people you respect, and I don’t respect nickel and dimers, and neither should companies looking to hire them to mystery shop for them.
