  • Pinecone Research

4/19/16

PineConeResearch is a great company if you like taking surveys in your spare time to earn some extra bucks. There's no pay out minimum, payment is quick (less than 5 days if you choose PayPal option) or you can exchange your dollars for item in its rewards catalog. Survey opportunities are often and pay you at least $3 for around 10 minutes of your time. It's not like other sites where you have to spend an hour for lousy 50 cents. PineConeResearch is awesome, pays well and won't spam your inbox like Toluna.

  • CenturyLink

4/19/16

I've neber been satisfied with Centurylink. It's speeds are so slow, a snail passing by in front of me would appear like a formula 1 racing car. As a customer I learned the true meaning of the company name: Centurylink ~ 'cause it takes a CENTURY to LINK!

I was a customer for over 3 years and I still would have stayed with Centurylink even though the service is horrible and the speeds are slow. I stayed because I could lock in the promotional rate ($29.99 instead of $59.99) as long as I renewed the 12-Month contract every time. Yet, it looks like a dumb guy made a mistake during the renewal process as after six month I saw a charge of $59.99. I immediately called customer service and asked why I get charged that amount when it should be $20 less, remember I signed up for 12 months. The agent told me that the employee who did the renewal process mistakenly entered only 6 months of promotional rate for the 12 month contract. So I told him to correct the mistake and charge me the promotional rate for the next six months. End of story. However, the customer service agent told me he can't do that as I "agreed" to the terms back then. I replied that I made it lould and clear that I only renew if I get 12 months of service and the customer service agent told me that I will get a full year of promotional rate. Nonetheless, this idiot on the phone repeated over and over that he couldn't change anything than pay the regular rate for a "service" not even worth single rusty, dirty penny. I got so angry I told him I quit. He warmed me about the $200 early termination fee.

I cancelled my contract with Centurylink early anyways. And yes, Centurylink has sent me a $200 bill plus some other charges for my early termination. Yet, I won't pay anytime soon that bill. I plan to pay that final bill at the speed of Centurylink.

Tip for consumers:
Even if you have no other broadband provider than Centurylink think twice before signing up with those suckers.

  • Legerweb.com

4/19/16

Another reviewer described Legerweb as a fraud. That's not true. I am with Legerweb for almost over 3 years and received always my check. The only thing I complain is the low amount of surveys you receive. It takes a loing time to get the minimum balance accumulated necessary to request a check which is $20 as of this writing.

  • ScreenwiseTrends

4/19/16

Screenwisetrends is OK as long as you connect the maximum number of devices to your account and get so $3 a week simply by handing over your browsing history and habits. Of course, if you're privacy minded, then that's not for you.

Besides privacy issues, one thing that's annoying is the VERY SLOW payment process. It takes a LONG time to accumulate enough to request a reward. Even worse, it takes up to 6 weeks to receive the reward. Worst is that sometimes Screenwisetrends does not send the reward even after 6 weeks. So, you have to write an email telling what's about the reward you ordered. Until nowk I get my reward then but it's an extra hassle. I think people deserve better than that: You waited enough to get the minimum balance accumulated, yet waiting up to 6 weeks?! Kind of lame service IMHO.

Tip for consumers:
Always check your reward status and complain by email if it's over 6 weeks in order to get your reward

Vitacost's customer service improved a lot in recent years and customer service agents are friendly and eager to help. Besides, shipments are well packaged. The prices are great and you get lots of sales offered.

  • iConsumer

3/22/16

I stumbled upon a new cashback site recently and thought to try it out as it offered pretty hight cashback rate for one of my favorite stores. Unfortunately, my order did not register. Good thing is iConsumer lets you report missing transactions. The bad thing is that my order is still listed under missing and peding transactions since March 9th and I guess I won't see any cashback soon.

  • TopCashback

This cashback site offers one of the highest rebates and also features a "Highest Cashback Guarantee". This means you can tell TopCashback If you see a better cashback offer elsewhere, submit a highest cashback guarantee claim and itll match it!. Also, if you select Amazon Gift Card as payment option, you get 2% more. That's awesome!

  • Home Depot

3/22/16

I love HomeDepot for its wide selection of hardware, tools and anything else needed for home improvement. My last order arrived timely and in good condition. The only thing I don't like is that not all products qualify for free shipping even though the order is over $49.

  • LivingSocial

3/22/16

I have to admit I've never ordered a physical product, only certificates and this time a very reduced CostCo membership. I also get a pack of 20 batteries free and some other hefty discounts. Please be aware that I give it 5 stars based on only a few orders I placed on LivingSocial, never purchased anything physical.

  • DistroWatch.com

3/22/16

If you're a newcomer in the Linux world, I suggest to head first to another site other than Distrowatch because there are many terms that sound kryptish if you never used Linux. Distrowatch is great as it lists almost any Linux OS out there. Besides, it lists also other operating systems. Really worth checking out.

  • Fracture Glass Photos

3/22/16

Fractureme is awesome. I placed an order and received my order very quickly. The pictures look stunning behind glass. Together with the order, you get a nice walldog screw with each picture you ordered. All pictures are well packaged and protected with cardboard.

  • LaserShip

3/22/16

I don't experience any delays with LaserShip as other reviewers complained. I actually prefer LaserShip over other companies because I receive it earlier than the expected shipping date. Another plus is that LaserShips uses vehicles owned by the driver (at least I suspect that because I've never seen a logo on any of the cars that delivered my shipments) and are AIR-CONDITIONED which is very good if you order grocery and supplements.

  • VIZIO

3/22/16

I bought a 24" smart HDTV and must say it got lots of features at the low price I purchased that TV. The shipment arrived promptly. One issue I had is the remote control. It simply stopped working after 2 months. I called customer service who told me to switch batteries twice and read aloud the expiration date of the batteries before inserting them and press some buttons. After it was clear the remote control isn't working I got promised a replacement ASAP. It took almost 2 weeks for the remote to arrive. Besides, no other issues.

BTW: I earned a little reward, a free foldable bottle withe VIZIO logo.

Tip for consumers:
Sign up for Vizio's Reward Program, FANDEMONIUM, so you earn rewards for purchases.

  • Walmart

3/22/16

I made a couple of orders and had only 2 issues that were quickly resolved with a call to customer service. The prices are mostly OK but sometimes they are higher. So, I decided once to call Walmart and make use of the Price Match guarantee. I did get the price difference but not after staying over THREE HOURS on the phone.

  • Target

3/22/16

I buy around twice a month at Target. The prices are a bit higher but the sales are often better than in similar stores. Customer service is good. However, the selection of produce is bad, overpriced and the quality is not very satisfying.

  • B&H Photo Video

3/22/16

This year I made my first business with B&H Phot Video by exchanging a Christmas gift last January. The gift was a Polaroid photo printer and as a guy who rather keeps his pics on Flickr, Facebook or Google Drive than in dust gathering frames, I have no use for it. Good thing is it took only a two minute call to get everything done to return the photo printer. Once I got my refund in form of a gift card, I bought an unlocked phone, a memory card and an audio cable. The checkout process was easy and my phone arrived 4 days later without any problem. Pretty neat company. BTW the price of the phone was cheaper in this store than on Amazon or Newegg.

Thanks for developing and maintaining such a great open-source OS. I tried many other but eventually chose Ubuntu for good.

Tip for consumers:
Always use LTS (Long Term Support) versions of Ubuntu on production machines

  • ZNaturalFoods

1/4/16

If you want to buy a certain superfood in bulk I would recommend to look first if ZNaturalFoods.com has it available. It sells mostly raw, organic super foods in powder forms and offers a loyalty program. Its prices are the lowest I could find. The shipping speed is very fast (for Florida residents). So far, I've had only one issue with the dozens of orders I placed so far. One torn mushroom powder bag. One call to customer service and got a prompt replacement.

  • Kmart

1/4/16

This retailer is good if you need to stock up on something in a hurry and it happens to be nearby. The prices are average and customer service is quite decent. Yet, if I have time, I buy from other retailers that offer better products and more generous extended warranties.
