The headline on this site is “Help Wanted! Online Mystery Shoppers” which is a total lie. There’s no mystery shopping involved at all.

It’s one of those incentivized offers site, where you get a $500 gift card to an online shopping site (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Target, Buy.com, BestBuy, etc) for completing two offers (you have over 50 to choose from).

It’s actually a good deal, and the company backing it is legit, I just wish they weren’t calling it “Mystery Shopping.” Yes, you get a $500 gift card, but you don’t go provide ratings or anything, you just spend the $500.

I went and entered my email address to see what gift cards they were offering and what offers I would have to complete in order to get it (they haven’t sent any spam so far).

I selected an Amazon.com gift certificate and was taken to the offers page (it’s the one that pops up that’s important, not the one that displays one offer at a time…that one is completely optional so forget about it).

I didn’t find any offers that interested me, though some would have if I didn’t already use their services (i.e. Netflix free trial). It’s too bad, because although I don’t really need a $500 gift card to Amazon.com, it would have made a fantastic prize for a contest on this site. What about you? Do any of their offers interest you, and what would you do with the gift card…spend it or make a contest out of it?
