This review is for Blacktown Railway Station Newsagency, Blacktown NSW

Great range of magazines. Friendly clean and well stocked shop. I buy flavoured milk, muesli bars and chewing gum there every week. They are so fast at serving you. I have purchased identical items at other railway newsagency outlets and they have been grossly overpriced.

Now I go without until I'm back at Blacktown to remain loyal to this fine outlet.

This review is for Rib Runner, Blacktown NSW

verified email - 24 Oct 2010

We have ordered virtually everything from the menu from the filled potatoes, pizzas, salads and ribs. We mainly keep coming back for the ribs. They are usually cooked to perfect, with delicious sauce and reasonable portions (great as we seem to have leftovers to devour the next day).

The last two occassions they were late with the delivery and the food was a bit cold so only 3 stars for service when previously i would have given them 5 stars. They made no offer of compensation when I phoned an hour later asking where the order is way after the time they told me and they said he left 30 mins ago (so the order had been enroute all that time).

Still will keep ordering from them for the pork ribs.

You can always be assured of a decent meal at the Bungarribee International Buffet. Park on the 3rd floor of the adjacent free (for members) parking station and you can walk over the enclosed walkway to the upper level sign in desk then onto the buffet.

Roomy, busy, fresh, great range and good value for money keeps the same people coming back.

This review is for King Henrys Court, Penrith NSW

We went there for an 18th birthday. Didn't really want to go. I was surprised at the cosy country style atmosphere this converted church has situated right next to Penrith Court House. I have never even noticed this place before. They have an amazing gift shop on the bottom floor and a great upstairs function room with it's own bar, dance floor & dude playing the guitar. There is all this amazing canvas fabric art displayed on all the walls which is for sale.

The biggest surprise for me was the food. Each dish (The entre, Main & Dessert) was of a very high standard. I savoured each mouthful. The barrumundi was cooked to perfection.

Would love to go back. An amazing and unique dining experience with very friendly service.

Could not resist buying a little bit of artwork on the way out.

This review is for MyOpinions, St Leonards NSW

The Points that are awarded from the surveys on myopinions is easily transferred to RewardsCentral where they can be redeemed for various awards or cash. I particulary like the instant win available from every Sunday morning where you click a random box for bonus points. Sometimes it's 0 points sometimes it can be 500 points. The highest i have got is 50 bonus points. The surveys can be quite interesting and the subjects can vary widely. They are easy to do and quite fair with the reward v time spent on the survey.

This site used to be called Email Cash. People have told me that there are better sites around but when I have check them out it turns out they still don't compare to RewardsCentral. It can take a while to accumulate points worthy of a decent reward but if you just check each day it is not an ordeal. I have been with them a very long time and have no complaints.

This review is for Grab A Kebab & Turkish Cuisine, Woodcroft NSW

Make great pides, pizza's & of course doner kebabs. Service pretty good. Friendly and now that they have been there for a year or so are experienced in serving people. Room to dine in with a good size LCD Tv. They have a traditional woodfire pizza oven which i have found is worth the couple of extra bucks that it costs for a family size pizza from a chain.

This review is for Woodcroft Chinese Kitchen, Woodcroft NSW

I have purchased food periodically from here over the years. They don't seem as friendly lately but I cannot complain about the food for the price. It does taste nice & fresh and they have good value lunch time specials. I have never gotten despite them being fined recently by the council for an alleged minor food storage offence. I will still intend to buy food there but I don't get it as much only because of the extensive choice of takeaway food outlets that are available.

This review is for Barone Pharmacy, Woodcroft NSW

verified email - 23 Oct 2010

Barone Pharmacy used to be great. The girls are always friendly but we have noticed a change in the actual provision of a service. So much so that we travel to another chemist who may not be 'as friendly' but overall provide a better service. They recently screwed up a script (said it was finished when clearly it wasn't) who our specialist was adamant should have lasted for us while he went overseas for a month. The specialist's secretary advised to go to the chemist and they should supply enough tablets under the specialist gets back as clearly it has been for ongoing treatment. While they were understanding they forced us to get another script and the local doctor wasn't taking any new appointments. It was getting late and we could get into a GP without a prior booking. We had to travel further and try another chemist who used a bit more common sense and based on the previous bottle gave us a 7 days supply enabling enough time to get into a GP to get another script made up to last until the next appointment with the specialist. Thanks for all the running around Barone's. It's not the first time you have stuffed us around in a friendly manner and not being of real assistance. I don't blame the girls working the counter, just the people that make their decisions. I know they don't want to take any chances, so it is safe for them to say no to everything, but they are also not really helping people and showing a complete lack of real empathy.

This review is for Flybuys, Melbourne VIC

verified email - 23 Oct 2010

Flybuys is pretty much the only decent rewards scheme in Australia. I have been saving points with another competitor and after 5 years of saving, can't even amount to a $20 gift card. I have given up with that one. With Flybuys it is different. We save for a $20 gift card nearly every year without even changing any shopping habits. It's just a bonus reward that easily accumulates points for shopping with Coles.
