This is a link to the Mystery Shopping Associations Web Site.
This link is to their page with companies on the left hand side.
I have signed up with most of these companies.
I will tell you that it takes time and you will normally have an application to fill out with each company. To have many shopping jobs, you will need to sign up with many companies. Most companies may have one or two jobs a month in your area and other shoppers may beat you to it. So sign up for many companies and check jobs often.
Never ever pay anyone for a list or to be with that company.
You will need to sign up for PayPal. Most want to pay you online. It works nice and you will be paid quicker.
All that said…I found that with the increase in gas prices and the low pay most companies offer ..it was just not worth it any longer. You have to be very detailed and the jobs that do pay more..for example IKEA shops for about $45…really do take a long time and are a lot of work. Now I normally just watch for the fun ones…like reimbursement for dinner or bowling.
I wish you the best and please email me if you have any questions. I have been doing it for about 3 years and I have taught many in my family how to sign up also.
I know many people are intereste in Mystery Shopping and the Stores need people. Anyone reading this has questions feel free to email me.

I included things that I would’ve like to have known as a new mystery shopper. The site is:
