Boycott the Notorious $5 Mystery Shopping Assignment!

For years now $5 mystery shopping assignments have been prevalent in the industry.  They don’t pay enough for it to be worth anyone’s time…and yet they keep sticking around…

And the only reason is because some mystery shoppers are taking those assignments.That is why I am asking you to BOYCOTT those assignments.

And here is something that is surprising:

While it may be easy to blame the mystery shopping companies for these assignments, it is not that simple.  The companies hate these asssignments as much as you do…but they take them because they have to compete with other companies for the same contract.

Read this comment from Pittburgh Shopper from my last blog post:

From the MSPA Conference – July 18-20, 2008

The owners of several of the MS companies did a panel discussion on the last day taking Q&A from the shoppers. They all had the same answer. The contracts were signed with the companies at the beginning of the year for set prices for shops. This was done before the cost of gas went over $4 a gallon. They all stated that nothing could be done at this time as they are all under contract. They did remind us that the IRS deduction for mileage went to fifty eight and a half cents per mile. And they all agreed that no one should accept the $4 and $5 shops.

We need to make it impossible for these $5 assignments to exist.

As shoppers we need to stand together and STOP this once and for all.

Please leave a comment below, declaring that you will NOT accept $5 assignments EVER AGAIN!

Thank you!
