How to Become a Mystery Shopper
Advanced Feedback has interesting work opportunities for mystery shoppers in nearly every segment of the economy, both private and public sectors. We conduct onsite anonymous visits and scheduled inspections, both traditional written evaluations and using undercover video. In addition to onsite evaluations, we provide a high volume of phone shops, online evaluations, and customer surveys.
The bulk of these assignments are posted on Shop Metrics, the shared platform seen on the Gigspot shopper app and MSJobBoard. To apply for these assignments you will need to register as an independent evaluator, either directly with Advanced Feedback (on ShopMetrics) or by agreeing to our terms as a Gigspot shopper. There is no cost to register as a mystery shopper and apply for jobs using either of these apps.
If you are passionate about making a difference in customer service, observant and attentive to detail, and write well, we invite you to complete our mystery shopper application.

Scam Warnings and Information
ATTENTION: Scammers are posing as Advanced Feedback and a fake mystery shopping companies called Business Evaluation Services, The Lead Ace, SkyLine and Underwatre Contractors. These are scams intended to obtain private information and get you to deposit their bad check. Do not reply to their emails, provide any identifying information or deposit any checks.
What to look out for and how to get help if you believe that someone is trying to scam you.
Mystery Shoppers across the country are receiving emails from scammers posing as real companies. They will then send you letters in the mail along with checks for large amounts of money. These emails and letters appear to be legitimate and often include real company logos and may even have links to real websites. The scammer attempts to send you a check in the mail and will make it seem official by providing a shipping tracking number. They send checks for large amounts and ask you deposit them and to keep a certain amount as your shopper pay. The rest of the money is to be used for such things as buy gift cards during your shop. They will ask you to either send the gift cards back to them, or take pictures of the back of the cards so that they can gain access to the numbers and pins. The problem is that the checks they send will bounce in a few days and you are stuck paying for the gift cards with your own money. For example you recieve a check for $3,000, the “agent” asks you to deposit the check and to keep $500 for your shopper pay. Then you are told you will need to go to a big name store and purchase $2,500 worth of gift cards. When you get home you provide a write up of your shop and send pictures of the cards with the film scratched off the back to expose the numbers. The next day the check you deposited bounces and you have just lost $2,500 from your account.
