[Sneaky3]

Me too thanks....

[MScott1851]

I'm in.. I'll take a co-workers children. I've been dying to go to Chuck E. Cheese and play skeeball, but DH won't take me!

[Sunbeamblue2002]

Cool beans!!! Thanks the last time someone posted this all the ones in my area were taken. This time I got in my daughter and son will love it. :cool1:

[Miss Kelly]

I just came to post this. LOL! I saw it on another message board and wanted to share with my DIS friends.

I got in too! Yay!

[princessknb]

Thanks for the info. I got in but I put put in the wrong state for my address-should have been TX instead of Tn. Is there anyway I can change it? :guilty:

[Anne34]

I got in too --- THank you, thank you, thank you!!! My kids were just saying the other day "When can we go to Chuck E. Cheese?"

[InstImpres]

Thanks for the info. Just wondering, what sites does everyone visit for other mystery shopping offers.

TIA
Sandy

[littlestix]

I don't know anything about mystery shopping. I checked it out anyway and I got in. Now what??

Kelly

[mrsboz]

I believe that I got in too. It said, it will send me a package in 6 -8 weeks. I am so excited. I tried last time too when someone posted it but didn't get in. I have never mystery shopped before either. What do they do? Do they give you a check for money to be spent there? Do they pay you for doing it? Thanks so much for posting. My kids will love it.

[tmli]

I got in, but I have a question...from what I read it says you go on the weekend and after you fill out the questionnaire they will send you a guest pass for your next visit. Is this correct?

[TaurusSES_Sport]

You have to wait 6-8 weeks to get your starter package.

[tmli]

Yes, but you pay for the visit when you are mystery shopping and then they send you a guest pass for another visit?

[Franne]

Yes , I read the same thing, you pay up front, then when you fill out all the info to them and I guess it has to be approved. Then they will send you a card.

[powellrj]

Yes thats how it works, but you can use coupons and not order much on your first visit and then use the free pass on your next one. Thanks so much for posting this, this time I was able to get the CEC that I wanted and was close to our home!

[momtoce&j]

Looks like I got in too. Thanks for the posting. DS has been bugging me to take him to Chuck E Cheese for awhile now.

[Microcell]

Thank you!!! I got in too!

[adisneymama]

Does anyone know of any other mystery shopping? I am interested in doing this to make some extra money or at least pay for my family to eat out.
Thanks for posting this, I got in too!

[lindaso]

Thanks for posting, I got in too. My kids will love this (and I admit I like playing some of the games there).

[bobcat]

Got in! Not the one closest to me but this oneis not much further.Thanks OP! :cool1:

[raisindiskids]

Thank you! I got in too. yippee!

[luvsgrumpy]

I didn't get in but thanks for the info. I signed up for the "waiting list". At least I know about the possibility know, sounds like a good deal!

[PolyHereWeCome]

. . . you can use coupons and not order much on your first visit and then use the free pass on your next one.

Sorry for asking some a dumb question, but what is meant by a "free pass"? Chuck E Cheese is free to get in, so is there some sort of free food coupon that you get after you give them feedback on their food and service? Or is the free pass some sort of coupon for free tokens?

Thanks for clarifying for us dolts. :flower1:

[Franne]

I believe the free pass said you get a large pie, 4 drinks and some tokens :)

[thespaceinvader]

Sounds interesting...

[thespaceinvader]

Although I've never heard of Chuck E Cheese...

[powellrj]

we did this 2 or 3 times last summer and had a great time! Chuckie Cheese is a pizza place that has video games and small rides that you use tokens with. They have pizza and sandwiches and salads to eat. They have little video shows and lots of kids have birthday parties there.

How this works is you are sent a packet with little thank-you cards in it. You watch how things are run and if someone is doing a great job you give them a card and they turn the card in for a drawing. You order food and let your kids play some games. You pay for everything on your first trip, but you can use coupons and report cards so it doesn't break the bank. You take notes and keep you reciept and when you get home you fill out the questions on the website. A few weeks later you get a card in the mail that you turn in and you get a large pizza, 4 drinks and tokens for free. You don't have to use your free card at the same resturant you did your shop in. It is one of the easier mystery shops I have ever done.

[thespaceinvader]

Never heard of it, never seen it, never been there...I don't have kids either...

[Franne]

It'a a kids pizza place and it has all kinds of video games and rides for kids. It's aimed at the 8 and under crowd. My kids are 10, but I think they would enjoy the video games and eating the pizza. They have a website you can go to:
http://chuckecheese.com
It's a fun and NOISY place :)

[thespaceinvader]

...never heard of it!

[summerrluvv]

...never heard of it!

LOL okay....you've never heard of it!! They probably don't have them in Alaska.

Thanks for sharing this information. I was able to get in when is signed up yesterday. I love Chuck E. Cheese but my son is to cool for it now. :rolleyes: I think I'll borrow my 7 year old nephew and 5 year old niece for this.

[grlpwrd]

Thanks, summerluvv, for posting. I have to travel a little bit farther than the store nearest to me, but it'll be worth it.

Thanks, powellrj, too, for the rundown. I thought it would be more complicated that that...

Oh and a good site for mystery shopping is www.volition.com .


:D

[PolyHereWeCome]

Thank you, powellrj, for the explanation. Very easy to understand. Am looking forward to receiving the package and being "mysterious". :flower:

[druzicka]

It says you have to go on a regular paid visit, then fill out the questionaire, then you get a card for a free visit. So it's basically two for the price of one. I signed up in my area. Thanks!

You don't have to order a large pizza four drinks and all those tokens though, you can order whatever you want. Another poster said she orders a drink. We will probably just order a individual pizza and a drink. It's free to get in CEC, so what you want to spend once you get there is entirely up to you :)

[Dagny]

Got it for the Dallas store (the store closest to my house was already full), but that is ok :) The other one isn't too far, and my son has been bugging me to go there :)

[melanie18]

Hooray! I got in too!

thank you so much for posting this! I've tried to get in before, but it was filled up. I got in today! Woo hoo! My kids will love it!

Thanks again!

[disneychrista]

Just an FYI you do have to PAY for your first visit. Then on a second visit, after you complete the survey you get the free stuff.

[Bambi5826]

Yeah! I got it too. My niece is gonna love it!

[got2travel]

This should be fun....thanks for posting.

[4DisneyfansinNC]

WOOHOO!! I actually got in too! I've never done this before.

[4DisneyfansinNC]

, but you can use coupons and report cards so it doesn't break the bank. .
What do they give you for report cards?

[marypopfan]

I got in also. They just opened a new one near me a couple of mths ago. My kids have been begging me to go.

[PolyHereWeCome]

Wouldn't be much of a deal for us if we had to buy a large pizza and sodas, etc. We mostly go for the games, but that's just us.

Am hoping we can just do the report card thing. For those of you not familiar with that, CEC gives your child a free token for each "A" on his/her report card (doesn't have to be A-B-C-D grading, ours grade on 1-2-3-4 scale) up to 15 tokens free. You have to order a food item, so last time we went, I had my two kids split an order of french fries, so for $2+, they got 30 tokens and french fries. :flower1:

[MsMulan]

Thanks for the info. I just signed up and should receive my package in 6 to 8 weeks!!! I good treat for my DD.

[SlightlyGoofy]

Thank you! I got in. Not my usual assignment but my grands will be thrilled. Guess I had better stop telling them that I do not eat food served by a giant rat. LOL

Slightly Goofy/Linda

[ksoehrlein]

Thanks so much, summerrluvv! I got into one about an hour away, but it's where DD's BF lives, so I guess I'll be taking two screaming 4-yo girls some weekend in the near future. They should love it.

And thanks to another poster, I'm thrilled to know you can use the gift card at a different location. Glad we don't have to travel an hour to go back for our free visit!

[4DisneyfansinNC]

Has anyone got their packet yet? I got an email from CEC today and it seems I should have gotten the packet by now. Just wondering.

[disneychrista]

I got mine a couple weeks ago. Haven't done the mission yet but hoping to next weekend.

[Julia M]

I got my packet yesterday.

I'm planning on going next weekend.

Julia

[aka-mad4themouse]

I got my packet and it doesn't seem like any deal to me. First you've got to go "Mystery Shop" your local CEC. Then you log in online and do your report. Then they send you coupons for another CEC visit. I'm not even sure what kind of coupons because they are very vague. This sounds more like an advertsing ploy than it does a real "mystery shopper" program. It shouldn't cost the mystery shopper anything out of her pocket to give the company feedback on their service.

[littlestix]

I got mine about 3 weeks ago. I agree that they are vague about the coupons you will receive. I take my son about once a month so I don't mind paying for the visit to do the visit mystery shop. I'd be going anyway. I did mine last weekend. I'll let you know what coupons I got. When I completed the survey they said coupon should arrive in 2 -3 weeks.

[sanibelover]

Got mine today. OF course where did we go last night? Chuck E. Cheese...............

[disneychrista]

When I did this last year we got a coupon card for a large one topping pizza, 4 sodas and 30 game tokens. After doing the survey.

You can buy as little as a soda for the initial visit.

Actually you get a "VIP" pass upon completion which entitles you to get a large pizza, four drinks and 30 tokens.

Buy a drink if you don't want to spend any money. Admission is free to get in.

I got my packet a few weeks ago and we plan to go tomorrow with our refillable mugs and our $5 in free tokens when you buy $5 coupons. We'll probably buy an individual pizza and a sub and spend about $15 total. Great deal to me, since we go there anyway :)

[momof2OH]

I also just got the e-mail yesterday, but no packet in the mail. I've sent them an e-mail inquiring but no response yet.

[HappyLawyer]

Thanks for the info. Just wondering, what sites does everyone visit for other mystery shopping offers.

professional mystery shopper here with gold certification, if you pm me i can assist you

please remember all you should never ever pay a fee to join any mystery shopping company

Actually, every mystery shopping program I have ever done, you have to spend money first on purchasing something. otherwise you are not really shopping, you know? If you had some special coupon to use, they would know you were part of the program set up to see how they do and that totally defeats the purpose. You have to just seem like a normal customer as that is what the company wants to evaluate.

[Franne]

I also just got the e-mail yesterday, but no packet in the mail. I've sent them an e-mail inquiring but no response yet.

Me too! I want to get mine already!!! :confused3

[jlcbshaw]

Perfect timing, I got mine last week and my neices birthday party is next Saturday, I'll use it then and submit our findings!

[powellrj]

I am still waiting on mine to come too! This is the longest it has ever taken to get here. If you go to CEC anyway its not a bad deal. We usually go and get a couple of kids meals, I'll get salad bar and bring report cards and coupons for the buy $5 in tokens get $5 free. I figure you get 2 outings for around $20, so its not a bad deal. Other than the Logans Roadhouse shops I use to do (I'm too old now) I have never seen shops where they pay you first. Usually they will pay you for the cost of your meal after you do the shop.

[dorazio8]

I just did my CEC mystery shop tonight, we went with another couple who had children and it was not that expensive, it was reasonable, and it was a night out, now i did my survey when i came home, and i am just waiting for my coupon i guess to come in the mail.
Oh well it was pretty fun.

Kim

[sanibelover]

I got my mystery shopper stuff, BUT the kids went to CEC 2 days ago and guess what they are throwing up AGIAN!! I guess this time I learned my lesson. That place is a germfest, and we will not be going back. Every time we go ther, someone gets sick.

[disneychrista]

coupons for the buy $5 in tokens get $5 free.

Where did you get this coupon? I looked online but could only find one when you purchase a pizza.

[goofyforlife]

I found that coupon too...at the following link:

www.chuckecheese.com/coupons/chucketokens.html

I printed two of them and I'm going with a coworker of mine so I figure we can get $20 in tokens for $10 for the kids.

[disneychrista]

Thanks. I am thinking of just getting drinks, the kids can use their report cards and then this coupon for this trip.

[MsMulan]

I received an initial email when I first signed up. However, I have not gotten any packets for doing the mystery shopping :sad2:

[RobinMarie]

Did my shop last night, used the coupon they sent me via email and spent 21.00 for a large pizza and drinks. The tokens were free with the coupon. I thought it was worth 20 dollars for three people, I did not feel the 'free' tokens were any bargain.

The shop itself was easy, you do not need names or descriptions, just report what could be improved on and which departments received citations.

[mum4jenn]

I have completed my shop and the online part and I received a plastic guest pass good for a large pizza,four drinks,and 30 game tokens.I did the shop on January 28th and got the free visit in the mail yesterday.

[Maleficent2]

We did I was just wondering if we were the only ones.



Mal

[mum4jenn]

I did not give out a red citation but I would have if I had only judged the cashiers. They were horrible as well as the person that brought the pizza. However we were sitting in an area where we could view the salad bar and were very impressed with the amout of hand washing that was going on and the care taken in using gloves and other procedures that would have made any health inspector proud. I am now and my husband has been in the food service business so we know what to look for.

[disneychrista]

Did my visit today. I would have given out 3 greens and the blue IF I could have found the people in which to give them to. It was a very busy saturday afternoon and the workers were busy bees never in the same place for more then a few minutes.

[blowinbubbles]

Boo Hoo, I am so disappointed! I took the kids to CEC tonight to do my mystery shop, and when we pulled in the parking lot, it was CLOSED DOWN! and For Sale! I am so aggravated. . . it was open in November when my son had his BD party. .I had no idea it was going to close!

Ah well. . . .:(

[disneychrista]

Boo Hoo, I am so disappointed! I took the kids to CEC tonight to do my mystery shop, and when we pulled in the parking lot, it was CLOSED DOWN!
And this was the location that you signed up for ? WOW!! It must have been pretty recent closure then.

[blowinbubbles]

And this was the location that you signed up for ? WOW!! It must have been pretty recent closure then.

Yes, it must have been. My son had his birthday party there just 2.5 months ago. LOL, I probably would've had to given them a red citation anyway. . there service there stunk! Most of the employees had bad attitudes, and there was no one at the door when I left with my kids!

[littlestix]

It's frustrating when there is noone at the kid check. I had already passed out my blue citations to employees that were doing a wonderful job. then I went to leave and there wasn't anyone working the kid check. I was very disapointed. What is the point if they don't take it seriously.

[charstar]

Ah well. . . .:(

This reminds me of a few years ago, we were headed to CEC for my daughters 2nd BDay and quickly changed course and stopped at Wal-mart to get a cake, while we were in Wally world, the CEC (which was being remodeled e) the ceiling collasped and a few parents were injured and a few children had ceiling tiles fall on them. The work crew removed a wall, well needless to say it was a load wall and it didn't handle the load. When we arrived there were two firetrucks, and a couple of ambulances, and they had closed the store. We were thankful no children or adults were killed and that we had changed course on a whim. Usually we whould have sat where the collapse would have happened , it was the tables with a view of the show and the play zone. the best of both worlds.

Never take anything for granted, they did fix the problem and we still go back, the manager there is great, I think he remembers us now. Maybe we will get in on the next mystery shopper go around!

[The Disney Bunch]

I haven't gotten anything yet. I wonder how long it takes to get the packet? My mom got an email a last week reminding her to do her visit but she didn;t get a packet either. Anyone else not get theirs?

[sskem96]

I got my packet about 3-4 weeks ago. I gave out only 1 green citation to a worker who came and offered to refill our drinks, then came back and cleared our table. She was very grateful. I asked her what she gets for it, and she showed me the lanyard she got for giving excellent service, and she said she also gets a gift packet with free gas certificates and lots of other bonuses. I was happy for her because she really was the best worker in the whole place. I got my free trip to CEC gift card within a week of doing the survey.

[pjlla]

Glad to hear you don't have to spend a bundle on your initial visit. I got my "kit" just a few weeks after signing up. We are on a VERY tight budget right now, but I wouldn't mind taking the kids for a quick visit during school vacation in a few weeks. (Although I completely agree with the person who called it a "germfest". We affectionately call it "Chuckie's Germ Factory"!!) We will bring our refillable cups, some left over tokens and tickets from previous visits, a coupon for tokens, as well as recent report cards. Maybe order a small pizza for the kids to share. Maybe we can get out of there for $15!! .....................P
