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. 

PrizeRebel.com Homepage - Simplified and plain presentation complete with short
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 #8 - Savethestudent.org

Hello readers! Welcome to my first review of February! This month I am going to try changing things up in regards to content for the blog as well as providing more affiliate promotions for you! In my last review I did promise to take this blog to new heights so be sure to keep an eye out as I will be updating every few days and weeks of this month via social media and on the blog as well! Anyway let's move on to the review!

Today I will be reviewing Savethestudent.org, another fun website that is dedicated to students but with a different focus. I really enjoy the concept of this site and I am excited to tell you more about it.

Save the Student is a UK-based information service which solely specializes in financial advice for new and graduating students. The website's content stretches from typical money-related topics such as small businesses, banking and taxes to general career advice and housing information. But that's not all, it also features special student discounts which can be redeemed at various retail outlets and even competitions that students can participate in to be in the draw to win some great prizes! Another thing that is great about this site is that the content produced here is condensed and simplified in a way that young students can understand without having to read through unnecessary jargon or complex information. At Save the Student, you can get your financial problems answered without any hassle. There is no need to create an account for this site as it is free for anyone to use, however if you would like to enjoy a helpful bonus in the form of a money cheat sheet, I suggest you go ahead and register you email as you can get a simple step-by-step instructions on how to make and save money right in your inbox! That's right, you basically get the whole package, all of the information here on this site is designed to help you with your money matters and put you back on track. With almost every financial topic under the sun, Save the Student is packed with some of the best advice that money can't buy! (Do you get it?)

When you go into the website, you can see that it is presented in a neat, easy-to-navigate format. Scrolling down the page gives you a deeper insight into the various topics that it represents in regards to finance, not to mention all of the latest deals and competitions under the one roof. For such a small site, there is heaps of exceptional advice at hand for the curious students who are finding their way around the world of money management. This proves that the site strongly believes in teaching students about finance before they become old enough to manage it on their own, which in my opinion, is very important for future reference. Let's be honest, finance is an extremely broad umbrella with hundreds of sub-topics in between, so it may take a while to get your head around it; but with Save the Student, you can find the most relevant financial advice that can guide you during student life and beyond. Obviously, there are many ways that you can make money as a student, be it planning a small business on the side of your studies, searching through various 'side hustles', taking up special cashback offers at the bank or just simply saving up your cash for something special like a new car or house. You can find all of this information right here at Save the Student!

and tidy presentation and exciting design.

Another thing I would like to point out about Save the Student's content is it's interesting introduction into the topic of 'matched betting', which according to the site is the easiest way to make tax-free money by simply taking advantage of bonuses from betting bookmakers and placing opposing bets on a particular sport, keeping in mind that it isn't related to real gambling as you win either way. This was surprisingly one of the first topics that I came across when looking through the website for the first time a while ago. In my study break from university, I was desperately searching for simple ways to make money online as a side hustle during the holidays besides participating in survey programs and somehow stumbled upon this mysterious topic and instantly wanted to learn more about it. I was basically drawn in to the idea of matched betting that I thought I would give it a try later on. Obviously it is not for everyone and takes a bit of practice but with a bit of confidence and patience you could apparently be earning as much as you thought you would. I personally would like to thank Save the Student for their simplified info about matched betting as I have learnt quite a lot about it and can't wait to try it out in the future! Now that's another money-making bonus that I'm sure a lot of you have not heard about but it's a real hidden gem in the never-ending rabbit hole of money making strategies! I would also like to say that I have benefited from the wonderful finance info from Save the Student and have learnt a lot of new things about managing money!

Aside from general financial advice, Save the Student also offers helpful information relating to student employment and accommodation. Its careers section offers advice on various employment-related topics such as graduate programs for recently graduating students, part-time positions complete with a specialized job search engine, employment rights, tax counselling (for UK only) and the usual CV/Cover letter/job interview trifecta. For the accommodation section, there is advice on paying rent, finding student housing, dealing with housemates, home insurance and tenancy rights. This is basically every basic piece of advice handed to you so it would be better to follow it wisely and not get left behind.

This is an excerpt from an article in the Finance category. Easy to read information and quick links
on the side of the page make it a convenient experience.

Just a reminder that the website is primarily based in the UK so you might find some unfamiliar words or slang terms in the articles. Also their discounts and competitions are for UK students only as they use pounds for currency so unfortunately no international students can participate due to being outside of the country. The part-time job search engine mostly services UK jobs so you would not find any luck with looking for jobs in other countries here.

Overall, I think that the Save the Student does an excellent job in providing the necessary financial tools for students which will be extremely helpful in the future. I really enjoy the condensed and simple web design of the site as it runs very smoothly without any bugs or viruses. There is an exceptional amount of content on offer and has great functionality. I would recommend this site to any student who is struggling with money matters and would like to get back on track, because the advice at Save the Student is excellent and deserves some recognition! 


Final Rating: 9/10
