I started with Womo when a business I used asked me to review them, and I actually really enjoy reviewing business's I visit. I think this is a great website and I really do think I would keep using it and adding my reviews even if I didn't get rewards. I have only had one case I found rather perplexing, when I wrote a review about a 2 hatted restaurant, where I wrote an honest review, and do not feel I was offensive or nasty in anyway, yet WOMO originally refused to publish it. I have checked again (quite some time later) and it is now published. I must say I was annoyed for a time, couldn't understand why they held it back. I am not in an opposing business or anything. But now that they have published it I can see they do take care to ensure that reviews are "honest". So.. back in my good books WOMO :-)

I am so glad that I found this site, reading the reviews is very insightful and I find now that if I need a service done I head to this site key in what im looking for example lawn mowing,beauty therapy, dentist etc and read the reviews that other people have posted about there experience, most reviews are very helpful in choosing the right company for your needs, also I love the rewards program. It is a great way to give a great review if a business you have been to have given you excellent service, thanks womo and keep up the great work

I am glad also, WOMO is a one stop shop for all my needs, I've found many useful handymen and new restaurantes to try. It's a great and easy to use sight.

I love the WOMO site, as a way of finding particular types of businesses and reading what other people think of them. It's great for small businesses to get their name out there, and good to be able to share our good & bad experiences of the businesses we review.

Until recently, I think that most people used the site with these points in mind, and viewed the gift cards as a lovely bonus for sharing their opinions.

I know for a fact that over the past few months, some people were taking advantage of the WOMO system to use it simply to get free gift cards. It was publicized on several FaceBook Free Sample pages as a way to get gift cards, with people boasting about getting 6 cards in a week, etc.

And I would imagine that was to a large extent why the recent changes to the WOMO points system was implemented. It's such a shame that selfish people with only their own interests at heart can spoil things for honest folk. WOMO isn't a bottomless pit of money, so the system had to change. Shame on the "dishonest" people who posted reviews only to get gift cards, because your greed has impacted on a lot of genuine users of the site.

WOMO is still my first port-of-call when I'm looking for a particular business, and I do love to share my experiences when using small businesses, especially if the business goes out of their way to give good service. I do have problems with sharing bad experiences, but to date I've been fortunate in not using a business that has been so unpleasant that I thought "never again".

I recommend WOMO to all my friends and family, even if they only want to use it to find businesses, and not to personally review them. Keep up the good work, WOMO team, as there are an awful lot of us out here who really do appreciate the site.

Great review.

I agree, this site is great to find businesses and spread the word about a pleasant experience had by a business. The more we help our small businesses the better.

I have to agree with some of the other reviews I have read. I think this site will get a lot of fake reviews, just so people will get free gift vouchers. although, nobody can complain with getting something for free for just writing a simple review? I know I wont complain. even an extra $20 a month would get me out greatly. I think this site is a good idea to help those small businesses get a lot more customers.

Word Of Mouth 10 Oct 2013

Hi Samanthak14. Here at WOMO we pride ourselves on ensuring the integrity of all reviews is maintained. We do not allow fake reviews, but there is no need to worry as we have a number of processes in place to ensure all reviews are genuine.
We are happy to hear you enjoy the benefits Member Rewards Program. Look forward to some more great reviews from you. The Team at WOMO

So i have ordered my first gift voucher and have been pleased, but have noticed changes since I first signed up. You need more points for a gift voucher 500 more for an itunes or 1000 more for a $20 gift voucher.
My thoughts, may find that some fake reviews will be entered to get more points faster. Way of the world i think

Word Of Mouth 08 Oct 2013

Hi Jetty1 - Thanks for your feedback.
As you are probably aware, we don't allow fake reviews on WOMO, but we believe it is still achievable for all members to earn rewards by writing genuine insightful reviews if they wish to. The team at WOMO

Discovering this website has made my decisions on places easier to make. My husband and I love to try new places and with this great website been able to find new places to try and some to avoid, not only that I have been able to put my opinion of places out there, which I love cause when a business does me wrong/or given me great service I love to rave on. I think sometimes my friends think I am a salesperson for places sometimes.

jodiep6 07 Sep 2013

Well written great review.

I love WOMO, don't get me wrong, but is anyone else disappointed in the recent changes to the WOMO rules? No longer receiving points for being the first to review a business, needing more points to redeem, points now having an expiry date. The expiry date of points isn't a good thing, IMO, because it forces you to post more reviews to reach that 3000 mark (and I don't see anywhere that actually tells you when your points are about to expire?), so you might see an influx of phony reviews from people struggling to hit the redemption mark before their points expire.

Rubywoo, I can understand your disappointment at the recent changes to the WOMO system, but I'd almost put money on the fact that it was brought about by people abusing the fact that you get gift cards for reviewing. It was boasted about on some FaceBook Free Sample pages that people were getting 5 & 6 gift cards in a week or two. Call me cynical but I doubt that someone could do that many genuine reviews in a short space of time. And these were the same people who complained loudly when the system changed, and said "Oh well, I've got my $200+ worth of gift cards, I won't bother with WOMO anymore now they've changed the points". I hope that Karma catches up with these people, as their greed and dishonesty has affected the majority of genuine and honest users of the site. I still love the site, and use it all the time when I'm looking for new businesses, and I look upon the gift cards as a lovely bonus. I hope you keep using WOMO, because it really is a good site. Wishing you all the best!

Really interesting to read all the comments here. I didn't know anything about the points expiring. I use the site as I like hearing what people actually feel about certain businesses and I enjoy telling people about my experiences too. Its a good way of rewarding certain businesses and give others an incentive to do better.

carolinet1 17 Oct 2013

I'm disappointed with the changes. I don't think that crappy reviews deserve payment but people put in their time and effort and it would be good to get something even if it's only 5 points.
