Hello and welcome to the forum, kyial.

Hey thanks!

kyial, there are mystery shoppers in Nevada but it is an unusual circumstances because of state laws there. I believe you need to work through a licensed Private Investigator.

And I believe you also have to get some kind of sponsor or certificate to work there, as well. Try searching here and volition for this topic, as I think it has been covered both places at some point in time.

Laws have changed a bit in Nevada recently. You now need a work card from the Nevada Private Investigators Licensing Board to mystery shop anywhere in Nevada. Shoppers are still employed by private investigation firms.

I would recommend QSI. They are a good people and you can apply on their website. If you are accepted, they will guide you through the process of applying for the work card.

I recommend doing the research here before getting started. You have to pay some money up front (there's no getting around it and it's not a scam), so unless you stick with it for a while, it may end up costing you.

You have certain advantages or working in Nevada that make for the additional cost. You will most likely never have to fight for your payment or worry about wacky pay schedules. You will also have your employer (the PI firm) to help out should there be a problem with your shop. The odds of being treated unfairly are much less, and shop payments are generally higher.

Hi. I am another new kid on the block. I live in Florida between Tampa and Orlando. I have never done this before so any help or advise would be very much appreciated. Talk to you soon!!!

Hi quakie57. There is a ton of information here. The best thing to do would be to begin by reading the new mystery shopper section of this forum. Just about everything you would need to know to start up your shopping business has been covered there at some point. Then branch out and read the other forum sections. Start signing up for companies. Good ones for newbies are MFI and CoRI, but they pay next to nothing at their published rates. But they are good learning shops. Then you can move to other, more challenging shops and/or shops with more extensive requirements (and hopefully, better pay.)

Hi, quackie and kyial! MS'ig is lots of fun and there is a bunch of information here that will help you. Some very experienced shoppers are available to answer questions, too ..... it's really helped me get started.
