I know where this place is located because I used to do my mystery shopping sometime, but of course they paid more. This is a mystery shop too, but uts a non starter. I might do it if they added a 20 dollar bonus or if I had something else to do in the area.

It is, and you have to factor in wear and tear on the car.

A lot of people never think of that. It's not just the gas, it's time and miles. I wouldn't have done it, either.

I would not do it either.
But I have driven 100 miles round trip for a bag of Chips at a well known chip shop lol

@Ineeddentures Yeah, sometimes stuff like that is over rated. We went way of the way to go to a pizza shop in the mountains that had all these stellar reviews. Hmoh! I didn't think it was any better than Dominos.

They were indeed very good.
But not that much better than a chip shop 400 yards from our front door

If everyone gets the idea and does not accept they may throw in the extra bonus.

Well, it wouldn't be 70 miles for everybody. Some may live in the area We will see.

Yes, however, if I get the bonus I might do it.

@snowy22315 If you get the bonus that is different.

That's silly! Any mystery shop I do is worth real money. I have done them for like 15 bucks if they are in this community or nearby though. Some of the bank shops don't pay a whole heck of a lot.

@DaddyEvil I haven't seen any for 5 dollars, but I would never drive a long distance for one like that. That's nuts really IMHO.

@snowy22315 I'm talking 20 years ago when people would do them a LOT cheaper than they do now.

I've not ever been a mystery shopper...but perhaps may look into it once I retire in August.

Yes, we will see if they get desperate and put a big bonus in it.

That is a long distance and can get expensive if you need gas

I wouldn't mind doing that one with a 20 dollar bonus

I wouldn't do it for that amount either. If it was local, that would be a different story.

Yeah, can't think of anything I would need to go up there for.
