BARE InternationalReviews of bareinternational.com

I've enjoyed the shopping experiences very much - easy to register and begin the process. Once you learn how to execute the reviews, it is a fun, rewarding experience.

The team at BARE is very easy to work with. The team is genuinely one of the best mystery shopping companies I work with. They always respond in a timely manner. The team is also one of the few mystery shopping companies that communicate by phone in a mostly digital world. I would highly recommend working with the company.

Schedulers are responsive to communication. Reliable pay.

I have worked for BareInternational for almost 2 years and they are 100% legitimate! I have been doing price audits through them and it has become a steady stream and my main source of income! I have never had any issues with being paid for my completed work and the more you work for them the better the jobs are that are offered to you!! I completely recommend them!!

I had a very disappointing experience working with this company. After completing my first assignment, I did not receive any payment, despite fulfilling all requirements. Attempts to resolve the issue through email were ignored. The only time I received a response was via WhatsApp—and only when they wanted me to complete new tasks. There was no effort to address the outstanding payment or provide any clarification. This kind of one-sided communication and lack of accountability is highly unprofessional. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend working with them.

Complete fraudulent company. Do not do any work for them unless you want to pay out of pocket expenses. Stay away from any assignments from them as they are very dishonest.

Very bad experience with this company. One payment not done. No explanations, no mail response, no consideration for my complain. 1 late payment (1 month later).

I worked with BARE International as a mystery shopper and completed Shop #12232091 in November 2025. The mission was completed on time, the report was fully accepted, and all requested edits were made. However, despite repeated confirmations that payment would be made by the end of January, I am now in February and still have not received any payment. What makes this situation unacceptable is that: • I had to advance my own money to complete the assignment • I relied on the communicated payment timeline • I am now under serious financial pressure, including bank penalties • Communication has been slow, vague, and inconsistent (“end of the month”, “please wait”, etc.) • No bank transfer proof has been provided despite multiple requests For a company that claims to be professional and global, this payment handling is deeply disappointing. Doing the work is demanding, expenses are real, but when it comes to paying evaluators, the company takes its time with little consideration for the consequences on freelancers. I would strongly advise other mystery shoppers to be extremely cautious and never invest money they cannot afford to wait months to recover
