Website Review #11 - Prizerebel.com

Hello again! I am all set for another review today! Before I begin I would just like to provide an update regarding my content as this will be my last full review for Wednesdays as I am planning on switching to Top 5 lists from next week onwards. I will still be posting my normal full reviews on Mondays but posting Top 5 website lists on Wednesdays. The Top 5 lists will have the same format as a full review but a bit more condensed and shorter. I hope that this will be convenient for the readers and for me too as I am planning on diversifying the content on the blog and not make it too one-note. Anyway let's move on. 

Today I will be reviewing Prizerebel.com, which is another cool website to hang around on in your free time where you earn fantastic rewards and compete for prizes. Lets dive in to see what makes this site tick.

PrizeRebel is a GPT (get-paid-to) survey platform and rewards program which has been around since 2007. It  relies on the typical format of completing high-paying surveys for points which can be redeemed for cash via Paypal and gift cards; there is also an opportunity to compete in special contests to be in the draw to win more points and merchandise. PrizeRebel's concept and structure of its rewards program is somewhat similar to the website Swagbucks, but with a little bit of a twist with regards to prizes and points. Funnily enough, despite all of the praise for Swagbucks, I haven't had much of an experience on there as much as I have with PrizeRebel (which is probably a better alternative if you want cash money fast). This site has quickly become another favorite of mine as it has surprisingly become a really quick way to make small amounts of cash just by completing surveys that are worth the highest points and even looking through the hidden 'offer walls' for more ways to add to your points tally. Basically simply easy free money out of your computer! It's definitely a hidden gem in the rewards program market that is worth checking out.

descriptions of what the site offers.

When stepping into PrizeRebel's website, their claims of earning points for what is essentially free money in your pocket are placed front and center of their homepage in order to convey the message to the user that the program is legitimate and not a scam at all. This is a great way to assure that you are in safe hands and your points balance won't be tampered with. Signup to the site is easy, as you just simply register your details and you are automatically welcomed into PrizeRebel's rewards warehouse! From there you suddenly have a lot of opportunities thrown at you at once so you may not know where to start at first, but that's okay as there are help guides and FAQs available for your reference if you get stuck. 

In my experience, the best way to start earning points is to look through the various survey lists which are provided respectfully by some of the more popular survey sites on the web such as Toluna, OpinionWorld, Samplicious and more. But wait, there's more: Each list gets updated daily and you might even find surveys that are worth up to 200 or 300 points! That's literally high-paying when we talk about points and you simply cannot find anything like it elsewhere! It's an extremely eye-catching sight and you will actually see your points balance skyrocket quite fast! This was one of the first things that I noticed when I first got into PrizeRebel and I instantly thought that it was an excellent idea that makes it stand out from the rest. Great stuff! At PrizeRebel, the possibilities are endless and there is always a way to win points here so you won't be left out. You can also watch videos, invite friends to join (referrals) and participate in activities through the offer walls. This is just PrizeRebel's way of literally giving you all the chocolates in a box and seeing which one tastes good!

This is PrizeRebel's account portal with the survey lists on top. Notice the other ways to earn section below where you can earn points by completing special tasks.


With regards to rewards, PrizeRebel provides prizes in the form of over 600+ online gift cards, online games,and cash into your PayPal account. Basically if you earn enough points you would be able to meet the specified amounts for redeeming these rewards. So far I have only redeemed my points for PayPal cash but I might try giving the gift cards a go in the future. Another special feature I would like to point out is the ability to redeem a custom amount for PayPal. What this means is once you earn a substantial amount of points you would be able to redeem them for an amount of cash that is not specified in the original PayPal amounts. The PayPal amounts that can be redeemed are around $5, $10, $20 and up to $100, if you prefer you can apply for any amount of your choice between the specified numbers. This is another feature on PrizeRebel that is definitely unique as I have not seen it on similar sites and it just increases your confidence in gaining more points! Let's not forget it's promo code feature which can be unlocked when you subscribe to PrizeRebel's newsletter, where you will be sent a special promo code every few weeks or months and redeem it for extra points to your balance! How's that for a hidden bonus?


I absolutely love how this site proves to be one of the better survey sites on the web, with the ahead-of-its-time features and strongly legitimate gameplay. I would definitely recommend PrizeRebel for anyone who is looking to earn a quick buck in their spare time as it's functionality is great and you won't be tricked into any fake nonsense here. The site's presentation/design is overwhelmingly positive and welcoming, making it a very unique and entertaining experience for anyone.

Final Rating: 10/10

That's the end of another review for the week! I will start planning Top 5 lists next week so I can have them presented to you by Wednesday. I can't wait to share this new content on the blog and I hope you like it! In the meantime, see you next Monday for another full website review!

Website Review #2 - Neave.com

Hey guys! How are you today? I hope you have enjoyed reading my last review because I certainly enjoyed writing it! I am so excited to share my thoughts on another website with you.

Today I will be reviewing the website Neave.com, which again is another personal favorite of mine and has been since my one of my friends introduced it to me way back in high school! Yes, it's actually that good, I can assure you. This website might be unfamiliar to some as it is not as well known, so let me give you a bit of background info to start off.




neave homepage
Neave.com Homepage - Very colourful, curious design which invites the user into a fantastical experience. Simplified look, does not need any explanation.

Neave Interactive is described as a creative and whimsical 'digital playground' which was founded by UK-based digital artist Paul Neave in 1999. The website mostly contains various interactive tools, games, art and experiments that are created by Neave himself. His reasoning behind the idea is to "make stuff that people enjoy" and to provide a form of generalized entertainment that anyone of all ages can participate in. Sounds like a great idea, don't you think? It's definitely the best website that you can go to when you want to kill some time. I think that Neave has done a fantastic job in launching a platform for this kind of entertainment. He is definitely a talented chap and there's no doubt about that.



Going into the website itself is like hopping into a twisted, mysterious fantasy haven filled with bright colours and immense wonder, it's almost as if you are stepping into Neave's curious mind. It's absolutely fantastic, unique and astounding, I have never seen anything quite like it. Some of the current interactive tools that appear on the website include some old-school tic-tac-toe and snake, the mind-boggling Strobe Illusion, the colourful Bouncy Balls and the extremely obsessive Webcam Toy. It seems as if these little games are designed to play with your mind and keep your eyes completely glued to the screen until you forget where you are. It's simply fascinating stuff.

Back in high school, me and my friend would hop onto Neave.com almost every day during break times. Our favorite interactive tool was always the Webcam Toy, where you would take various photos with more than 50 different designs and cool effects to choose from. There were other tools that we played around with too, such as Imagination and Pixel Dust (these two games have since been taken down from the website for unknown reasons) where you would just wave the cursor around and let the magic come through from the blank screen. Strobe Illusion was another game that we played together, where you would literally stare at a black and white optical illusion for 30 seconds without stopping. I bet our eyes were twisted after trying out that one several times! It was really fun to stick around on this site for the amount of time we had in high school and now I'm thinking of calling my friend over to revisit some of the fun memories we had on Neave.com.

As I have mentioned earlier, yes some of the interactive tools have been taken down from the site for unknown reasons as I remember there used to be more than 8 of them. But things change and old things make way for the new, so I don't have any hard feelings towards Neave's future decisions. I am however very excited to see what he comes up with next, as I really enjoy his work and his creative mind.

My conclusion for this website is that it has a very atmospheric web design with calm, bright colours and an air of curiosity, hardly any viruses and malware to be found as all the interactive tools work and function properly. It is very inviting to the user and would never leave anyone bored at the end of it. Anyone of all ages can try it out for themselves. Neave.com needs no explanation and lets the wonderfully twisted mind of it's creator do all the work. Very clever and inquisitive indeed.

Final Rating: 10/10

There's another review done and dusted for the week! I hope you will catch me again next Monday as I serve up a new one! Don't forget to share your opinions in the comment section! Thanks for reading and see you soon!
