BARE InternationalReviews of bareinternational.com

I like doing the mystery jobs but there’s one that I recently did that caused frustration because it wasn’t organized. I would finish a mission then it would ask the same thing again in the next mission.

Major payment issues--they stopped paying. I have done shops for BARE for many years, probably close to 100 shops, never with any issues. However, starting in mid May, 2025, while the company claims I was paid, the payments never showed in my paypal account. All the shops were approved, and online show a date paid. The money never reached me. They DO NOT return phone calls. The only email I received told me to check with paypal. Paypal can only tell me I didn't get the money. I am out the payment for my last 4 shops (luckily, they are small and I will be fine). I have reached one person who responded to an email, and I was told, she put in a "ticket" to the payment dept. No additional information. Yet they keep calling asking me to do more shops. The schedulers say they have no access to payment records and can not help. Until I hear from them and get the issue resolved, I am DONE with this company. After 3 weeks, things are progressing and the issue has been resolved. The sad thing, it could have been found and corrected much sooner.

I had previously written a poor review as I had not received payment for two jobs I had completed. After several emails back and forth I have now received both of the payment I was due. I have retracted the previous review and written this one

Je travaille en freelance pour Bare International depuis près de 3 ans. Avant cela j'avais teste pratiquement toutes les autres firmes de Mistery Shopping en Belgique. Et c'est seulement chez Bare que j'ai trouvé des missions assez nombreuses et fréquentes pour en faire un job régulier. Bien sûr, ce genre de job ne vous rendra pas riche. Mais comme complément pour un retraite, par exemple, c'est très valable. La société est sérieuse, paie dans les délais et j'ai un excellent contact avec la hiérarchie locale. Mon regret : tous mes contacts sont via internet, je n'ai jamais rencontre les gens avec qui je travaille.
