For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I looked into this a few months ago. The company I looked at employs the mystery shopper for House of Fraser and a few other big stores. (can't remember the name now though!) They let you know what assignments they have available by shop and you choose from that. You get paid �10 per assignment, but you have to buy an item from a particular department and give them the transaction number from your receipt, so I reckon it's a bit of a con unless you're doing shopping in there anyway.
Mystery shoppers are used by all the big pub chains. You will probably get about �20 per visit, and just have to fill in a form afterwards on service. If you want to do this work you have to be of a fair character, as it no use if you are biased against certain things.
These types of jobs are really just a bit of pocket money, not a regular income.
