This review is for Valued Opinions, Dawes Point NSW

verified email - 28 Jul 2017

I'm new to Valued Opinions and so far in the span of a month, I've managed to redeem $40 worth of giftcards. They are so useful and yes it's not a get rich quick scheme however there's decent number of paid surveys on a daily basis that do add up.

$1.50-$2 might sound like nothing but if you have nothing productive to do, you may as well answer some survey questions. I love the thrill of getting a survey and building up on my balance to get a $20 Woolies gift card which gets emailed instantly to you after you redeem online! They have saved me spending what little cash I had left at the supermarket and I have a choice of places to purchase from.

Compared to other sites, I think Valued Opinions is alright. Your credit is in dollars and cents so you know exactly how much you've earned and you have a variety of gift cards to choose from. I recommend Valued Opinions above many other sites as their surveys are never too long and I have yet to experience any bad service so far.

This review is for Toluna, Sydney NSW

I have just recently joined Toluna and it's been about 2 months now. I have already redeemed $120 to my paypal however I've only received one $20 redemption as it was in a few lots. I do agree with some of the reviewers regarding the time it takes to get credit however if you do the other things that they have on their site, you're able to gain quite a few credits easily.
I commented on a poll subject one day and found out a few days later that I had been randomly drawn and won 3000pts! I've never won anything in my life and it was a great feeling. So if you're aiming to try and earn the maximum amount possible then you need to keep an eye on your email alerts for the survey's and not rush when you do the surveys as I've found little things such as answering too fast can screen you out. One thing that really irks me is there have been surveys that I've spent 15-20mins on and suddenly my wifi drops and I am unable to get back into the survey therefore losing everything I had just entered!! Toluna definitely needs to look into that but it's not just Toluna that has these types of issues, other survey sites do as well. So I guess it comes down to the company that creates the surveys need to have a better system and Survey sites like Toluna need to monitor and be on top of it.

You do need 60,000 for a minimum paypal withdrawal and the 1st and only redemption that I've received took exactly 3 weeks to reach my paypal which is the longest wait for Survey sites but it's definitely not the shortest!

This review is for Seymour Street Medical & Dental Centre, Ringwood VIC

I started coming to this clinic after I found out my Dr. that I'd lost contact with over the years had moved here and was happy to continue seeing me again. I had been here before and found the receptionist to be a little rude back then, however since I've been regularly attending a year later, I am happy to say that I have been treated with respect and there's been a huge improvement in customer service.

The only 2 cons at this clinic would be 1. if your GP is popular then you're most likely up for a little wait. For me it's worth the long wait as I've found that it's not that easy to find a suitable GP from scratch and my Dr. always has time for me and never rushes me or makes me feel unwanted like some bulk billing clinics. If it's going to be a long wait, the reception are great as they are happy for you to leave and return when it's closer to your turn without breaking any confidentiality laws yet keeping you up to date on your position in the queue.
If you prefer to wait then I'd recommend bringing a power bank for your mobile/tablet as you are likely to run low on battery!

No. 2 con would be the expensive parking!! I put $1 in the ticket machine and it only gave me 10mins! There's no way I can afford parking there if I need to wait hours and so I try to park behind the building (just past the underground parking lot) as it's free and if you can get there early in the morning, you should be able to get a parking spot. I wouldn't recommend parking too far like at Bunnings because if for some reason you're unable to get back to move your car, you will likely cop a fine as I have once being only 10mins late and the inspector had already left me a $70 fine :(

So overall this clinic has improved greatly over the last couple of years and if you had a bad experience in the past, I'd suggest giving them another go as they do listen to feedback and have made changes accordingly. Also there's a few GP's from my own experience and from other patients that I've met there that I can say are worth going to see. Whether you just need a good Dr. to see you for a once off or you've moved to the area and are having trouble finding a good family GP, give Seymour Street Medical & Dental Centre a go :)

This review is for Domino's Pizza, Mitcham VIC

My partner and I order our pizzas here all the time, at least once a week for their Value Pizzas ($5) and they are so efficient with preparing your order fast! Does not matter what time we order, the pizzas are ready in 10min. When we order to pickup from home, because we live approx. 10m drive away, we are able to literally leave our place after we order via their online app/site and our pizza will be ready as soon as we walk to the counter. The pizza is always hot, even if we show up late, the pizza is still perfectly hot enough to eat soon as we get home. There has only been one situation where they forgot to give us cheesy crust and after we called to advise them, they knew which order it was and offered to give us cheesy crust on our next order for free. As we prefer to pick-up our orders, I am unable to review their current delivery service although we are eager to test it out especially after seeing ad's on their site about their drone deliveries on trial which would be exciting to see if it works!

This review is for Pureprofile, Sydney NSW

I have been a member for about 3 months and I have been waiting for my first $50 redemption to be transferred to my bank account. I thought as their site is one of the top paying survey sites that their payout would be at least up to par to the other sites. But after reading reviews it looks like I'll be waiting for 30 business days which I personally think is too long. I've even been paid out faster by sites setup in the U.S and the big Toluna managed to transfer funds to my paypal in exactly 3 weeks. Even waiting for Toluna to transfer to my Paypal then Paypal to my bank account still is faster than Pureprofile! Anyway apart from the payout, PP does pay really well compared to other sites & does pay 10c if you're screened out. Unfortunately I noticed that in the beginning I was able to do many surveys and once I redeemed my first $50, it's been screening me out much more. However the surveys I have been eligible for have had great incentives including a current one that I'm doing where I get to test out some muesli bars! It's definitely a good idea to login manually throughout the day as like other reviewer's have mentioned they don't email you as often when new surveys are available. Lastly I've managed to already accumulate enough for another redemption however I must wait another 2 months which is dissapointing. If it was just 30 days then I should be receiving the funds next week, however as it's 30 business days - I won't see anything for at least another 2 wks!! So I will give PP a better rating once I've confirmed my first payment from them as it looks like people have come across issues with PP delaying payment due to reasons like incorrect bank details that I find a little suspect..

Approximate cost: $0
