Like the idea of hotel mystery shopping? Try accommodation checking.
Mystery shoppers usually pay for a stay and wait weeks for reimbursement. Checkerist checkers visit a property for about an hour and get paid the price they set.
Mystery shopping jobs versus checking
| Typical hotel mystery shopping | Checkerist checking |
|---|---|
| Book and pay for a stay, then claim it back | No outlay: you visit, you don't stay |
| Long questionnaire for the hotel company | Short report for a traveller about to book |
| Assignments set by an agency | Requests in your own city that you choose |
| Paid in reimbursement and small fees | Your own price per check |
Want to become a mystery shopper? Skills that carry over
If you've thought about how to become a mystery shopper, or already done mystery shopping or hotel reviews, you already notice the details that matter: cleanliness, noise, whether the room matches the photos. That's exactly what travellers want from a checker.
An alternative to hotel inspector jobs and hotel reviewer jobs
Hotel inspector jobs are rare and hotel reviewer jobs often pay in free stays. Checking pays cash per visit. We're looking for people who know their city, write clearly, take good photos, and turn up when they say they will.
