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 #5 - Studentedge.org

Hello readers! Before I begin I just want to say a big thanks to everyone who has stuck around and read my reviews in the past few weeks, this has been a long time coming so I am glad to finally have time to share my content with you! I also have some exciting news to share in the coming days so please stay tuned and watch this space! In the meantime, let's cut to the chase and start the day with another review!

Today I will be reviewing Studentedge.org. This is a site that I discovered quite recently when I studied at university last year and it has quickly become one my new favorites on the web. This should give you a hint about the website's main purpose.

For those of you that don't know, Student Edge is an Australian-based company which is strongly dedicated to improving the lives of university and vocational education (VET) students by offering
important information about career planning, study tips, future options and general life topics. But that's not all; aside from all the serious stuff, the website also offers various surveys,  competitions and even special shopping discounts for students! The amount of generalized content presented here is astounding; as it mixes in the usual serious topics of discussion with a huge splash of exciting entertainment in between and it shows that there are definitely some special advantages to being a student. I think that it is a pretty neat set-up which clearly demonstrates the fun and serious side of student life, as it should. Basically everything that you need to know about navigating student life is right here on Student Edge! Let's keep digging deeper into the site and find out more.

Student Edge Homepage - This literally screams 'dedicated to the modern student' and I think that every student would think so too. The content is spaced out neatly and makes for a less messy web design.

If you would prefer to use this site as a general information service for news and other topics, then feel free to do so. However, you are more than welcome to create your own account if you want to experience the full package of benefits, deals and discounts as well as the important advice at hand. It's all a matter of choice. When you sign up for an account, you will be redirected to the account portal where you edit your profile and study details. Once completed, you will be on your way to navigating through student life through the lens of Student Edge. I can guarantee that you will find the answer to any problem you have through the website's massive information base, which spans across various topics of discussion such as finance, health and online safety. Whether it be studying for upcoming exams, choosing career pathways or dealing with stress, Student Edge has got you covered, no questions asked! Treat it as your best friend!

When I first signed up with Student Edge, I thought that it was very informative in terms of content and advice for students and particularly found the jobs section to be very helpful as I managed to find lots of much-needed information to help with my job search, resume writing and job interview questions. As a current university student I also found that the website is designed to be specifically tailored for students, by students with specialized topics that engage discussion with others. I like the fact that there is an actual website that is dedicated to all students where the information is easy to find.

This is the deals and discounts page, where students can look for special discounts from their favorite shopping outlets. Very handy for someone who wants to save on their next shop!

With regards to entertainment, the website features it's own rewards program that includes surveys, competitions and discounts that any student can register for. In my opinion, the surveys are the best ones to start with, just answering simple questions relating to a certain topic of interest in your own time. But wait, there's so much more than that. Like Pureprofile (the first website I reviewed), when you complete a particular survey you begin to earn points (called Edge Credits) which can be easily redeemed for gift cards and real cash via PayPal! Plus you automatically get entries into Student Edge's quarterly prize draw of $1000 in prizes! How about that? Now that's what I call an achievement! The competitions and discounts are easy to navigate as well, where you pick your preferred option and enter your details. Before long you will receive your discount in order to start saving while you shop at your favorite outlet and be in the draw to win various prizes at the same time! So if you think that student life gets boring after a while, then think again!  

In conclusion, I think that Student Edge is an excellent source for non-stop student advice which makes for strong competition compared to similar websites. The information listed on the site is based on real, legitimate claims and there are no deceiving traps to be found. It has a great web design with a plain, calm presentation that invites the student user into a secret sanctuary of knowledge and growth. Absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to any student that wants to fulfill their school life and beyond.

Final Rating: 10/10

Thanks for reading my last review of the week! Again please keep an eye out on my exciting news in the next few days! See you soon! 

Website Review #1 - Pureprofile.com

Hello again. I hope you are interested to read my first website review! This is the first time that I will be doing something of this caliber so I am looking forward to sharing my thoughts with you!

Today I will be reviewing Pureprofile.com. This has been a personal favorite of mine for many years that I am very excited to write about.

Pureprofile Homepage - Very appealing to users and instantly draws you in with its bold colours, minimalist style, and positive affirmations. That's a 10/10.

For those of you that don't know, Pureprofile is an Australian-based survey website and online rewards program that allows users to participate in short paid surveys to earn various rewards such as gift cards, movie tickets and real cash. Now you might be thinking that this is just like any other paid survey site on the web, but with Pureprofile, it is a little more different than you might think. Let me tell you more:


When you create an account with Pureprofile, you will be automatically directed to the user portal, where you will be given the opportunity to answer a series of general lifestyle questions from several categories (e.g finance, health, technology, etc.) in order to build a personal profile. Once you have provided sufficient answers, you will be given a list of hand-picked surveys that are tailored to the preferences you choose for your profile. For example, if you answer a question about the type of financial products you currently own or a question about your health conditions (if you are willing to disclose), then you would find a short list of surveys that are loosely based around your answers. Just remember that the more you answer questions on your profile, the more survey invitations you receive. How about that, a survey site that is willing to take your personal preferences into  consideration! That's pretty top notch.

Pureprofile User Portal - This is where you will find profile questions, surveys and the total amount earned. Calm, quiet and atmospheric design, very simplified and is easy to navigate. 

When you click into a desired survey, you will be redirected to another link where you will answers a few general demographical questions (e.g age, postcode, date of birth, etc.) which will determine whether your answers match the demographic that the client is looking for. Now, like any other survey website, just remember that you won't be accepted into every survey. Each survey is different and is suited to various demographics. Clients who conduct surveys do not want to waste any time dealing with the wrong candidates for research studies and are very selective of who they think matches their preferred demographic, so be prepared to be dismissed from a few surveys for not qualifying the first time. But don't give up because there will always be a survey that you will be qualified for.

When I first started using Pureprofile, I was screened out of several surveys until I began finding suitable surveys that matches what the client is looking for in terms of demographics. That's when I started earning from 10 cents to $4.00 for each survey that I was qualified for. The amount of money is small, but it will build up overtime with frequent visits to the site and successfully qualifying for surveys. It just takes a little drive and persistence. But there is a positive behind this, because for each unqualified survey you receive an extra 10 cents to add to the total amount earned, compared to other survey sites that leave you empty handed for not qualifying. Yes, I was just as surprised as you are when I found that out the first time. Not bad for a little bonus, don't you think?

In terms of cashing out, Pureprofile rules state that you need to reach $20.00 to redeem for rewards such as real cash in your bank account, Hoyts movie tickets and online gift cards. Generally, other survey websites allow you to cash out via PayPal but if you prefer to have hard-earned cash in your bank account then this is the option for you. Here's another little easter egg for you, Pureprofile is in partnership with a company called Raiz which is an Australian micro-investing service that can take the total amount you've earned and give it a massive savings boost overtime by investing in small sharemarket stocks. You will see your savings skyrocket! If you are ready to up the ante on your extra cash then I say go ahead and try it for yourself! This may seem too good to be true but I can assure you that Pureprofile is definitely telling the truth with what they say in terms of their rewards program, no hidden traps to be found here as this I can tell is legitimate enough to believe.

Pureprofile Rewards Page - Shows a list of the rewards that you can redeem with your account balance. That's pretty much it. No dramas. 

So in conclusion, I would say that Pureprofile.com is definitely a tick in my book. Fantastic website and excellent choice for rewards that knock it out of the park. The web design is lovely, minimalist and not so 'in your face'. The website is easy to access and is free of any viruses or malware. The amount of content and information is reasonable. I am impressed by the overall feel of the website, as it is very positive, happy and inviting to the user. Remember that anyone over the age of 15 can sign up for Pureprofile. It is legitimate, free to join and there are no hidden charges in between. Pureprofile is a strong competition compared to other survey sites on the web. I suggest you try it for yourself and see what you think.

Final Rating: 9/10
