Shoppers and Contractors

Independent Contractors: mystery shopping, interviewing and auditing

DSG offers Independent Contractors a variety of ways to make money on your terms – in person, by telephone or on line. Mystery shopping contracts pay for performing tasks normally associated with shopping, such as observing workers at a retail business, inquiring about various products, sometimes making a purchase, sometimes returning one, but always ending with a report answering specific client questions about what was seen, heard or experienced. Contracts may also be available for other types of assignments, including intercepts, interviews and a variety of audits.

  • We never ask shoppers to send us money
  • We have very few shops which pay more than $100. Most pay much less, but some pay in the $50 to $75 range.
  • Our company rarely, if ever, conducts mystery shops involving check cashing or money transfers. If someone posing as a representative of our company contacts you with a cashier’s check or offers exorbitant rates of pay for completing a survey, call or contact us…it may be a scam! Call 800-462-8765 or Email [email protected]

You are also eligible to become a member of the mystery shopping industry’s association, MSPA North America. Visit the website to learn more about the benefits for shoppers to be members of the association. http://www.mspa-na.org/getting-started-contractor
