Following a couple of suggestions that the star rating shown on MBC for merchants didn't really mean anything we've now integrated MBC with a new website called
CarrotReviews, where anyone can write a review and rate various aspects of the service you receive when buying from websites. For more details on
CarrotReviews head over to the website at
www.carrotreviews.com.
We've integrated the
CarrotReviews 'overall rating' into MBC. When you click to see the merchant specific offer details on MBC you will also see the
CarrotReviews rating for that merchant. Clicking on the link will show you the detailed breakdown of the 'overall rating' and you can also check out and score individual reviews.
Possibly the
best bit about
CarrotReviews, and the reason for the name, is that you'll actually get paid to review websites that you've used. Currently for an introductory period you will receive
AU$5.00 if you're the first to review a website and
AU$2.00 for each subsequent review of a site. Additionally, if you write a review and visitors score your review for quality and relevance above
+50 then you'll get a further
AU$10.00!
MBC and
CarrotReviews are separate entities, so you'll need to register over there to be able to write a review (the goal is to eventually allow anyone to write a review but at the moment you need to be registered in order to submit one) and you'll get paid directly from
CarrotReviews not MBC.
Its important when you review a website that you've actually used that sites service or products,
CarrotReviews may ask you to provide a valid online order number or reference so that they can verify the validity of your review (this is not always necessary). Only review the website's products and services and dealings you've had
directly with the site, not any interactions you've had with them through MBC or any other third party site as this may invalidate your review.
We hope you find the addition of the
CarrotReviews ratings into MBC useful and informative and it gives you the opportunity to earn some money from the experiences you've had with online merchants. As always we'd love to hear what you think of MoneyBackCo, just drop us an email at feedback@moneybackco.com.
