❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is this a legit way to make PayPal money?

Yes! Observa has been in business since 2016. Today, we work with leading brands like KIND and Beyond Meat. Observers complete opportunities at well-known retailers like Safeway, 7-Eleven, and Walmart.

Do you have opportunities outside of the United States?

Right now, the vast majority of our opportunities are currently in the United States and Canada. Observa is always working to get additional clients, in order to provide more opportunities for you to earn money as a secret shopper. If you turn your notifications on, you'll be notified when there are new opportunities to make PayPal money near you. In the meantime, check out our paid photo challenges, which run every few weeks and can be completed from anywhere.

If Observa rejects an observation, is the data still sent to the customer?

Never. At Observa, we only want to pass along high-quality data to our customers, so we discard data from rejected observations. We only reject an observation if the secret shopper didn’t follow the instructions correctly. Right now, more than 90% of observations are accepted.

I like using this app to earn extra money. I like the icons on the map and on each project itself that really helps you to figure out what you will be completing before you arrive at each store. I really like the feedback you receive on each project so you know what to correct if you've made any mistakes. I did not give 5 stars only because it would be so much easier and faster, if you could contact support for assistance in the app itself, instead of sending emails then waiting for a response.

There's more than enough detail to be able to complete any observations. App is simple and works well. Only downside is the change won't cover the gas it takes. I could do this as a real job if there were one. I'm disabled and can't abide the 9 to 5s. The upside is it is very interesting and I had fun. I'm just beginning with the app but had no problems other than not catching all info. at the beginning. The people I met were friendly and funny. Great design ! I love it.

I love this app and it is so easy to make $$$ I just wished there was more opportunities in my area. The best trick to getting the complete floor to top shelf is 2 use the front facing camera. Took my clearing off bottom shelves across the aisle and laying down on it and still not being able to get it all a few different times and not getting paid for me to figure it out. Just trying to help out cause of money being difficult to make at times and and people getting discouraged. It is easy 💰.
