Understanding Job IDs: Your Guide to Assignment Identification

What is a Job ID?

A Job ID is a unique identifier that is created when an assignment is created. This numerical code allows both shoppers and mystery shopping companies to know specifically which assignment you are inquiring about. Every assignment has its own distinct Job ID that remains constant throughout the entire assignment lifecycle.

Why Job IDs Are Essential

Job IDs serve several critical functions for mystery shoppers:

• Precise Communication: Reference specific assignments when contacting customer support
• Payment Tracking: Link completed work to proper compensation and reimbursement
• Assignment Documentation: Required for receipt submission and proof of visit
• Shopper Support: Essential when contacting support for help with questions about specific assignments
• Record Keeping: Track your assignment history and completion status
