Then I met someone who does it here in Lincoln and she told me a couple to try. Now, I'm actually signed up for about a dozen, you're right, many of them don't have shops in my area- or at least the kind I want to do. So, I really only use the companies listed above. If you want to get into mystery shopping and you don't know anyone who can suggest a place to start, go ahead and sign up for a bunch and see what they have. And sometimes all of the current jobs are taken, and you can't see that there are opportunities in your area. As long as they don't make me put in a bank account number (they should offer to pay by check or paypal), I'll sign up and see if anything happens. Good luck!Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525674966210815169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014947282990240755.post-23146590914390770752009-11-11T11:39:41.545-06:002009-11-11T11:39:41.545-06:00Lynnette, how did you find companies that had oppo...Lynnette, how did you find companies that had opportunities in your area? I signed up for A Closer Look, and don't see any opportunities in my area. Most of the places I find don't allow you to see the restaurants etc until you are a shopper. Is there a trick to it?Wendy Bovenmyernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014947282990240755.post-15059741534431100082009-11-06T20:17:03.165-06:002009-11-06T20:17:03.165-06:00I've done a couple of really fun mystery hotel...I've done a couple of really fun mystery hotel stays -- a free night away with my husband, and paid (I think is was $20) for the evaluation. The company I do them for is AboutFace.

Sometimes we've even given them as gifts! <br /><br />Another favorite way to save money is to purchase a dining club card or book that offers many buy one get one free options. We also just signed up with restaurant.com and are excited to see how that works out for us. <br /><br />I love eating out with my husband and it's a lot nicer when I'm not sitting there thinking about how much I would have spent had a made the food at home!Lynnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525674966210815169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6014947282990240755.post-24013660012305843612009-11-04T17:41:41.814-06:002009-11-04T17:41:41.814-06:00Great idea!

Husband and I enjoy our monthly "date" dinners and save $ by cashing in our credit card points at accepting restaurants instead of using cash. Ultimately, it really is cash, but it seems better somehow.Jellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988158250488221291noreply@blogger.com
