I mystery shopped my way through college years ago and have just gotten back into it. Went through the database on here and registered with every company but have not been able to find the MSC's that shop two of my favorite companies that I used to shop years ago. Lowes Home Improvement and First Citizens bank. Are they still shopped? Since I feel like I signed up with everyone how can I go about figuring out who shops them?

Lowe’s is on occasion. My advice is check every company on a regular basis. You’ll see it pop up.

Lowes used to be shopped very regularly with the b-I-g MSC. Now the projects seem to be a few per quarter. They are low paying and have a fair amount of narrative, so imo if you miss them you aren't missing much.

I haven't seen First Citizens Banks, but they don't appear to have locations in my state.

I did one sometime in Q4 for Lowe’s. It was about taking pictures in 2 departments (different per shop) and asking some employees questions. I personally thought this particular survey was easy because at the time I was doing a lot of home repairs and had some legitimate questions to ask. Pay was more than for example, shopping for a cellular phone or shipping a package. Previously yrs ago did some appliance shops many locations including Lowe’s. Have not seen those in a long time.

Predicated strictly upon the Lowes jobs of yesteryear, the work:pay ratio was bad and bordering upon terrible.

Have you tried to search your email? Ive done that before a few times when Im searching for a specific place but cant remember who the MSC is.

If you just signed up with them it probably hasn't happened, but some Sassie MSCs will shut off emails if you haven't shopped for them in a while.

So many companies have closed, merged or changed names that it's hard to find the 'original' company nowadays!

Shopping domestic and international locations since 2003.

Update: I have found the MSC and registered with them.

I used to shop for Pressed Juice Juicery. But the MSC shut-down, and I don't know who picked-up the Juicery shops. Any suggestions how to go about finding them?

You have to look really close for the answer. Also, The shops are now reimbursement only, with an occasional bonus.
