Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

The best place to check sites on the left and right? It is Grass Roots details page (where you add up to five addresses). When you enter the post code on this it lists all the businesses in that road, and it so accurate and well updated (simply the best!). I have just done a shop where there was a chineese takeaway on one side, I read the name but did not write it. When I got home I was certain it said Wash Woh. I checked on grass route just to make sure it turned up to be Weng Wah. Lucky I checked!!!:p

I was going to add this to my favourites, but no joy. Can you give a bit more details on this (like a proper URL) as Googling Grass route has got me precisely nowhere!!! TIA!

Hi
You can only access it if you are signed up with Grass Roots - another MS company.

I think Lelia1 meant once you have signed into grass roots

then go to "My details"

Click on "add new address (max 5)"

Then if you add the postcode of the place you need and press quick address it comes up with all the businesses on that street.

Normally the name of the business and the street number. Although its not always accurate as its given me the name of businesses that have shut down and been replaced before now

You dont have to save that address to your profile, just close the window and then you can do it over and over.

Hope that makes sense and helps!

Hi Mimi - RE and also Grassroots do some gym ones. I had one and it was 6 weeks worth - PM me if you want any more details.

There is an address finder on www.royalmail.com

If you type in the postcode, it tells you the names and address of other businesses with that postcode.

Be very careful doing this, as not all streets go 1,2,3,4 etc. Sometimes you might have only odd numbers or even numbers or other weird numbering systems. There's no substitute for checking properly in the first place!

I've also used that before for finding shops that I didn't know where they were. Sometimes it's easier looking for say a big Boots store next door, than the smaller shop you are looking for.

LOL - I really thought Grass Route was a route checking site - I didn't relate it to GRG at all!

I've just had a follow up email regarding a Mystery shop for a well known fast food chain via Gap. They have cancelled payment of the visit because I paid by card. I don't remember it saying this, although it probably did but now I can't view the paperwork.

Could someone confirm that this is correct - you must pay by cash?

Was it greasy burger or fried chicken?
