Getting paid for a hotel review

Thought I'd share my latest discovery in being a 'secret shopper' for hotels. Might as well review the hotel you've been to on one of the pay-for-opinion sites. The details I've seen on the saveholidays.com site (scroll down to the right article).

    While it may be good for the reviewer to earn a small amount of cash, a paid for review has zero credibility so I cannot see how the site can prosper.
