Field Agent

Field Agent is a mobile task platform that pays people for completing small research and shopping jobs in their local area.

The work is different from normal online microtasks because many assignments require you to visit a store or another physical location.

Common jobs include mystery shopping, store audits, product checks, taking photos, checking displays, and completing short surveys. Some assignments also ask you to buy a product and receive reimbursement after completing the job.

You browse available jobs through the Field Agent app. Each listing shows the location, instructions, time allowed, and payment before you accept it.

The amount varies by job and location. Field Agent says the payment shown on each job is the amount you earn for an approved submission.

Some tasks can be completed from home, including certain surveys. Others require you to travel to a store and provide photos or other information.

There is also a newer type of assignment called Eye Spy. These jobs ask agents to find exact products and provide product details, photos, or UPC information for client databases. Field Agent warns that these jobs do not pay for gas or time spent searching, so they make more sense while you are already shopping.

You need to follow each assignment closely. Field Agent reviews submitted jobs before approving payment, and submissions can be rejected if they fail the stated requirements.

Cash out requires a verified bank account or prepaid card. Field Agent currently states that agents need at least $3 available before they can cash out.

The platform operates in several countries, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Spain, Mexico, Ecuador, and South Africa. Your account must be registered under your actual country so you can access local jobs and receive payments.

Field Agent can be useful for people who already spend time shopping or moving around their local area. The key is to choose jobs that pay enough to make the trip worthwhile.
