Money testing websites?

[VanLifeCrisis]

Has anyone tried User testing to make some extra cash? <br><br>It seems like it would be pretty easy way to earn some money but im thinking you wont get very many gigs.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you did, they pay 10 bucks a pop for 15 minutes of work.&nbsp;&nbsp; Might be an option tho for some extra cash here and there.

There is a link in my post up there.<br><br>It does worry me that they might want you to test these sites by doing sign up processes to get your info.&nbsp; I know you ran into scammers like that on mturk sometimes.&nbsp; The task they want you to do was fill out some personal info or a credit application for ridiculous money (like 25 bucks when most mturk tasks pay like 25 cents <img src="/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> ), they never plan to pay you.&nbsp; It was against amazon rules but amazon leaves you pretty much to your own devices on mturk.<br><br>The demo video for walmart the guy goes thru the checkout as a guest and just stops when it gets to the payment info part.

Nobody is paying that much. Even for mystery shopping your travel cost needs to be taken. REAL expenses. $ 1.50 per mile and your time. The best overall you can expect to get is about $ 4 per hour that I have found. The above example is a scam. They will want you to get some sort of cash transfer and then want the pin and take your money. Your receipt or a photo of the store is all that is needed. <br><br>Takes a lot of time to make any money this way. Better to spends less and stack coupons.<br><br>James AKA Lynx

My ex-wife did mystery shopping, and they paid 50-75 dollars each time she did it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, in our area this was like 3 times in 3 months :\&nbsp; It wasn't a traditional mystery shopper jobs she ended up doing, it was to verify that the place was an actual place of business for the credit bureaus to allow them to report.&nbsp; They knew she was coming and she had to verify they had a physical address, office space, file cabinets etc.&nbsp; We were jobless and homeless at the time so any bit helped us but it was painfully obvious you couldn't sustain such a low level of jobs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She did have one where she was supposed to go into a save a lot and inspect their back area but they refused to let her <img src="/images/boards/smilies/redface.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She still got paid for it but i think that manager probably got in big trouble as their own corporation pays for these inspections.&nbsp;

I wish i knew the name of the company...this was like 9 years ago so not sure if they offer the same sort of jobs for that kind of money.&nbsp; Their name was not obvious...if it comes to me ill post it.

There is no such thing as easy money.&nbsp; Unless you park on Wall St.
