GapBuster
Online Mystery Shopping Program Review

Comments: |
I have been doing mystery shopping assignments for GapBuster in
Australia for over 12 months. They have a good range of assignments in
cars, banks, telecommunications, fast food restaurants, retail services
etc. They pay is between $5 and $25 per assignment. (sometimes with a
product reimbursement) They are usually quick and fairly easy.
One of the secrets to making good money from mystery shopping is
planning your week so that you have assignments to do that are
reasonably close together geographically on the same day. I tend to do
this with a mixture of assignments from various Mystery shopping
companies.
I would generally use Gapbuster to search for assignments to do
when I know I am going to a particular location so I can maximise the
number of jobs I get completed. (Example - if I am driving somewhere to
do 3 liquor store assignments for one mystery shopping company, I would
log into Gapbuster as see what assignments are available in that area on
that day.)
The Gapbuster system gives you really good flexibility if you are trying
to plan your travel to mystery shops. Because when you select an
assignment you usually get a range of date options to perform the
mystery shop, and you can generally move the assignment to suit the day
of the week that you will be in the area.
Gapbuster mystery shopping assignments are mostly pretty easy to
complete. Particularly the survey part which is mostly selecting an
answer from a list of options, rather than needing to write about your
experience. So its much quicker to complete the report.
That said, the gapbuster web portal for mystery shoppers has a few
frustrating things about it,
1) you can't change your password and you are stuck with a long number
that you have to find whenever you need to log in. This might sound
trivial, but for me it simply means I check their available assignments
last becuase I know I need to find the password.
2) Finding and selecting assignments is easy enough, but for some reason
to enter and submit the results of the mystery shop you need to go to
another section all together and enter the job number, can't see why
there isn't just a link from your list of jobs.
Another good thing about Gapbuster is that they pay quickly straight
into your bank account.
I have only done assignments in Australia, but their web site says they
operate in over 50 countries including: Belgium, Brunei, Canada,
Australia, Fiji, Ireland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Malta, New Zealand,
USA, United Kingdom, Singapore |
