Heather sat at the desk in the corner of her dining room and sighed every time she had to write another check. She really thought that after tax rebates and stimulus checks she and her family could go on vacation together later this summer. Unfortunately, she did not anticipate the extra 200 dollars per month her husband would be spending in gas to get to work.
She thought about taking a second job to help offset the cost of gas and maybe, just maybe save up enough to go on a weekend trip to the lake. Even if they can not afford to fly to Florida this year, just a weekend getaway would do wonders to relive everyones stress.
After she paid the last bill her paycheck could stretch to cover, she opened the classified section of the newspaper. Nothing seemed interesting or practical for her. She already has a full time job and does not have a lot of flexibility for a second job.
She puts the paper down and gives up. She would rather spend her free time with her family than at another job, even if it means no vacations this year.
Several days later, Heather is still daydreaming about a lounge chair on the beach. She unconsciously begins to surf around on the Internet for discount travel packages. There are several viable options but she still is not sure that even the 500 hundred dollars for the hotel room, as great a deal as it is, will work. How will she get there? It costs too much for gas and would take too long to drive. Flying is expensive too and she will have to pay extra to check her bags. Since when was taking a vacation so stressful!
In one last ditch effort, she searches for more discount travel destinations. She is excited to see a website advertising a free travel program. It seems like this company has a secret shopper program that asks passengers to take a survey in exchange for free travel expenses. Could this really be true?
As quick as she can type, she enters her information to join the secret shopper program as an undercover tourist. Soon enough, she is lead to a page where she lists any experience that might prove she is qualified to test several areas of travel and leisure industries. She is surprised to find herself well qualified to shop gold courses because of her knowledge of the sport. She is also glad she knows a thing or two about hospitality. Aside from the scary news coverage shows that report what the dirtiest things in hotel rooms are, she use to work as a housekeeper for a cleaning service. That experience gave her a good eye for what other people might overlook.
This secret shopper program has saved her hopes of having a family vacation this year. She submits all her information and waits patiently to receive an assignment. Finally her secret shopper program sends some job requests through. They are for destinations in Arizona near the golf courses and tourist hot spots there.
Luckily, she had saved up some time off work for a vacation anyway and once she cleared her schedule and coordinated it with her husband, they were off to Arizona on a free trip from her secret shopper program .
