This site is okay. They have a variety of options, such as iTunes, Paypal, QANTAS vouchers etc. However, I found that getting rewards takes a really long time. The last time I ordered a paypal reward, it took about 50 days which is too long in my books. Paypal and iTunes vouchers require more points too. And the points per minute isn't the best out there too. So it is average.

A great little survey site. Good surveys with a paypal option, which I love. There is an instant win option too, where you can win a heap of points. However, I love even more how you can transfer the points to RewardsCentral and get for bang for your points. I recommend highly.

This review is for Soup, Sydney NSW

Soup is okay. I have only ever received one trial from them in about 3 years. But the trial I received - about skincare - was a nice full-sized product and I had enough to give to two other friends. However, that is it. I have received more product trials with survey panels, so this has been more of a miss than a hit.

Overall, not a very good experience. I have never been invited for any trials nor have any of the trials I have applied for have been successful. It has been years now and I'm not very happy.

We were walking past here on a rainy day and decided to have some. These cream puffs are nice, not overly sweet which is to my liking. However, we were only had the option of having warm ones, not hot ones and that was a bit of a disappointment. However, they were reasonably priced and hopefully taste a whole lot better when hot!

This is a nice sushi place, conveniently located in the Hobart CBD and overlooking the food court area. Seating is located next to the shop and there is lots of it, though the actual shop is very small in size. They have a variety of veggie sushi options plus salmon, chicken (non-tempura chicken available too). The sushi itself is nice, the rice isn't dry or overcooked. The sushi always seems to be fresh and very reasonably priced too. The owner is always very friendly and I always talk to him. They also have Vietnamese rice paper wraps, which are nice but not as good as the sushi. Overall, it is a good place to get sushi in Hobart.

I went there with family - 5 other people - for lunch. We arrived just before it opened for service and we seated by the staff at two adjoining tables. There was plenty of food available e.g. roast turkey, steamed and roast veggies, steamed fish, cannelloni. There were plenty of desserts too e.g. jelly, fruit, assorted cakes, chocolate mousse. Lots of drink options too e.g. coffee, black teas and hot chocolate. All of this is of course self-served. The food was of reasonable quality, although it isn't all that special. Luckily, we were there when it opened so the food wasn't hanging around for a while. But all you can eat! If you are like me and love dessert, I recommend not eating breakfast before you come. The staff were nice and friendly. Overall, a nice experience.

Overall, this isn't the best out there. You have to spend over $30 points before you get any benefits and most of the time I can't reach this goal because I do my shopping at Coles, Woolies, Aldi and Supabarn (i.e. not just Woolies). Yet to redeem and it will be some time yet. But I do like how I can link my Qantas card to it. However, you do get access to special discounts instore that you can't access without.

This review is for Brodburger, Kingston ACT

Finally got to go and loved it! Such a nice atmosphere here.
It is hidden at the back of the glassworks, a lack of signage was a bit puzzling. But managed to get there in the end. We got there while the queue was very short. We (me and two friends) ordered and found a table to eat at.
The wait was about half an hour. Service is okay, but I saw a guy wiping tables while people were still eating at them. A bit awkward. Service isn't all that special. Average really. But the food is GREAT. My brodburger was cooked to perfection. The portions are a good size and provide excellent value for money. Chips were perhaps a little over seasoned and you do have to buy chips as a side - not included. But overall, excellent!
No wonder so many people rave about this place :D

Approximate cost: $14

I came here with a group of friends, about 10 in total. We could easily accommodate three extra friends that we didn't know that were coming along at the table as well. There also seems to be an outside area for entertaining larger groups.
Service is okay, buy the servers were a bit brash/unfriendly. I felt a little unwelcome. The restaurant seems to be very clean and the decor is nice though.
The dishes are mostly $20+, but the serving is really small. It was mostly okay, but not wonderful. The soft shell crab dish was excellent, but everything else was so-so (I tried various beef, scallop dishes). There was a lazy susan on the table, which meant we could easily share food and after dinner chocolate mints were also given. But I was feeling hungry after my meal. Not sure if I go back because it isn't value for money.
