I have had really great experiences with Mintel, then I have experiences like that shop I did today for a Big American Bank on ISS.

The interaction in the bank required at least 45 minutes, and the report was an absolute mess on ISS. Items that were not applicable still required full length comments. Repeats of the same question, over and over. The report itself had over 80 questions and the pay was a measly $20. Be aware of this before you think you are picking up a quick and easy shop...

Ultimately earning under $10 an hour for the project. HARD PASS. Save yourself.

Thanks for the feedback

Yup, I did one today. I agree. Worth more than $20 for your time and effort.

I did one today and thought that the report was easy to enter. I then accepted two more for next week.

I agree, not enough pay for the time it takes- the report took 40 minutes...and yes, very repetitive and didn't seem to be appropriate for the particular job. It was like they took a general form, and applied it to a specific task, in my case, business credit card inquiry. I had 2 scheduled, but the bank canceled the second appointment. Don't know if I will do one of these again.

Hahahaha
I felt the same way! I'm very new to mystery shopping. I signed up for two of their assignments at different banks. I was in the first bank for 30 minutes, 20 minutes for the second. I felt like it's took an hour to complete the report for each.

I wanted to unassign myself from the second one, but I'm working on getting to the next level on ISS.

These are the shops from Mintel that are on there that did not pay me for. Everyone be careful with making sure you are paid!!

Mintel is a reliable company. If you didn't get paid, the fault lies with you.

Yea because I only had issues with this company and not any others right? Ok yes it’s my fault. Because you know what is going on or anything that happened with this or how I handled it right? What’s right is that you are that person who doesn’t have anything else to do but get yourself into other peoples business. Your that person that when someone else has a problem (that you don’t even know) you want to get involved in the problem. You must have a boring life huh? You obviously don’t have enough in your life that you start to create problems and get involved with stuff that you have nothing to do with. Your that person who will get all upset because I’m right and you will follow this. Next time when you want to say something negative that you have nothing to do with, maybe you should just walk away and put your hand over your mouth. Go make yourself happy because clearly you are not. I posted this months ago and not one person had the nerve or time to say that it’s my fault and that it’s the companies. I know for 100% of that. I would bet anything on it. Would you? If not then mind your own business and go take your negative energy and put it to something positive in the world (obviously not something you do too much if you have time to do this). You must not do too many shops if you have time to read through everyone’s post and reply to mine.
