GAS!

One thing I really like about Mystery shopping is when the gas station shops come out. There are three different gas stations that I visit. One type of station is strictly an unrevealed mystery shop. I get $5.00 worth of gas, a $6.00 payment plus $1.00 towards a purchase in the store. I did two of these shops yesterday and have one today. Another station is strictly an audit with no reimbursement for gas, just for a small purchase inside the store. The third station type is a mix of a mystery shop and then a revealed audit. I get two gallons of gas that I am reimbursed for, which is almost $7.00 these days, plus $10 for doing the shop. I completed two of these yesterday and have two more today. I have a total of 27 of these kinds of shops between now and March.

These shops are not very difficult. The two with an audit require pictures to be taken. I have to be observant during all of these shops, but that isn't too difficult. The input is not too difficult either!

Now the one difficult thing about the gas shops is making sure I have enough room in my gas tank. I do a lot of driving during the week, so it isn't too hard, but I had to fuel up twice on Friday because I didn't put enough gas in before leaving for my shops yesterday. These shops come up quarterly so it will be the end of April before I get any more gas shops, but I do enjoy them while I can and I enjoy getting paid for them.
