I looked for a Market Force Shopper Review before I started mystery shopping for the Market Force company and was disappointed by what I found.
I was keen to get answers to questions from a basic mystery shopping standpoint as well as from experiences with the company more specifically.
So, after being a mystery shopper for Market Force for more than six months now, I figured it was time I wrote my own.
To hopefully help you decide whether mystery shopping with Market Force is worth it.

What Is Market Force Mystery Shopping
Market Force is one of the major companies that offer mystery shopping assignments. Established in 2004, the assignments on offer are available all over the EU for mystery shoppers.
The basis of mystery shopping is that you’ll apply for the assignment using the Market Force website, and visit the store in question during the date/time specified.
From there you’ll purchase often selected items, make a selected number of enquiries and report back on your experience within the store and write a product review.
In return for your efforts you’ll be paid, and often receive the products for free.
There’s both a Market Force mystery shopping website and an app. I recommend signing up using the website – personally, I find it easier.
Then using a combination of the mobile application and the website to find assignments local to you, and complete assignment details post your mystery shop.
Market Force Shopper Review
Now you understand what Market Force is, how it works and how mystery shopping works in general.
Let me explain my experience working with Market Force as a mystery shopper.
Is Market Force Mystery Shopping Legit?
The short answer – Yes!
I’m not always active on Market Force. I certainly have my peaks when I need the money and activity look for assignments but even still I’ve made over £300 in 3 years from the company.
Not to mention all the free stuff I’ve had; food, restaurant dinners, and other stuff.
Here’s a quick screenshot to show how much I made in February 2019 from just a couple of jobs. The price of the jobs on Market Force will vary depending on the location, company etc.

Once you’ve selected an assignment you’ll be able to see ‘at a glance’ information about it alongside links to learn more. It’ll look something like this.
