  • Great Idea to Help Save Money

    This is a great initiative to help families to save even more money. The registration was simple and straightforward, and the staff member who called me was friendly, informative and not pushy about getting me to make a decision on the spot. In my case I found out that I wouldn't even have to change my supplier so it is something that I will definitely think about.

  • Tried

    I tried this company and found no difference in them and a few other companies. In nsw we have a set rate for supply so it is only the sort of discount we get that is valuable to us. The main benefit of joining these is the bonus off your electricity bill that you get when you sign up

  • Cheaper than my current provider

    Great, friendly salespeople. They provided a quote via email, including an 11% discount. Rates were much cheaper than my current provider, Lumo. Will be changing over to StreetSmart Energy shortly :)

  • took awhile to get any notice

    The energy saving is always something that plays on us. I tried this after seeing it on here, it took ages for them to get back to us, then it didn't really find us what we needed. They found us a few decent ideas and offers, but nothing that matched what we were getting. Disappointed that we even bothered.

  • stick to what you know

    We like to stick to what we know in our family. There are so many scams out there these days and hidden costs and extras. This is another thing with more hidden costs that you could get stuck in if you didnt read the fine print and get all the facts.

  • long term contract with exit fees

    if you are not happy, the exit fees are there including the disconnection cost. there are so many different ways to look at this. yes it looks like you will save alot at first but when the government puts up costs even though you are on a contract the fees etc will still go up. there are hidden costs to look into. always read the fine print!!!! and dont feel pressured to sign up on the spot of door to door people.

  • Hidden Costs

    My husband is on the same vote, he prefer to stick with the ones he knows best and he's previously been ripped off before and has costed him more in the long run. He warns everyone to look and the hidden costs because if you don't it will end up costing you more.

  • Not for Me.

    To be honest with you I prefer my ActewAGL Energy company compare to other products because the ones that knock at your door saying they have better and cheaper products available, you think they may do but when you look into it, it actually has hidden costs. So for me No thank-you but thanks anyways.

  • Group Buying Plus

    I love how Street Smart Energy has the buying power to make big dollar savings for the consumer. It is a terrible thing when big companies gain an advantage over the consumer- good on anyone who can make a difference to their customers. Thank you Street Smart Energy, for making a real difference.

  • great concept

    My review iis about the concept itself as I have not yet had the opportunity to explore it further. In these days of escalating prices putting pressure on family budgets and lifestyle, we need to start looking outside the square at more creative ways to save cash. The power of bulk buying is awsome.

  • Just resigned

    These companies do get paid for sourcing your business. I just resigned with the same provider and saved myself another 15% and $100 dollars off my bill. Not all can come back with the best deal for you and you need to be aware of this before signing contracts for 2 yrs or more, which could cost you more in the long run

  • I tried street smart but I found them to be very similar to go switch. Although they did come back to me with some great deals - they actually were not any cheaper than what I was. I found that when I called my current supplier and told them I was gong to disconnect they offered me a great deal really fast. Worth giving your current supplier a call and see what they can offer you. Good luck

  • Could not comment

    I could not add comment but it sounds very similar to other companies such as Go Switcj, who look for a better deal for you. I went with Go Switch who came back to me that I was with the best company for me but they did increase my discount from the 10% I was getting to 14%. I suggest if you want to find the best deal for you, ring around the electricity companies yourself, tell them what you currently get from your provider and ask if they can beat it.

  • Fantastic Business Model, but didnt quite work for me

    Fantastic Business Model, staff were well trained and friendly, it was very easy to register, however i could not reccomend this service only on the grounds that they could not beat or match my current service providers costings. So therefore it didnt save me money and was actually a waste of my time.

  • reviews

    I cannot post comment so have done review, but after reading the first few reviews about them being nice on the phone and it sounds good then to read on and hear that they are not returning their phone calls or following up this is not so good, I just hope you have not given them any personal information. I think I will go else wear.

  • Not as good as i could have got

    I used the services of Street Smart Energy and found it easy to register. Got a call back from them and went throught the details. I also did my own research prior to this to see if I was getting a better deal and unfortunately they came back with a worse deal. They were polite and gave me all the information, however I told them about the other information I found out myself and they didn’t really have much to say after that. So I went with the deal I researched.

  • great idea unsure if its for me

    I dont mean to be negative but i am always wondering where the loophole is with some of these things, I did check the website out joined up and recieved some offers but i think i have already done the research and am on the best possible deal for me. love the idea but maybe for someone else.

  • Not Helpful at all!!!

    This is a great idea, anything to save on the power bill!!!

    However if you don't live in a major centre don't bother registering. After talking to a supervisorto find out my location the staff member who contacted me informed me that their service was not availabe in my area (rural Qld). I asked for a call between 9-10am and was called at 2.30pm, the operators english was not great, and he was generally not that helpful. Looks like I a stuck with one provider for the time being...maybe one day these sorts of groups will service everyone, not just the people in the cities!!!!!!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • i love sweet potato and this one looks delicious. i think even not including dairy (fore dairyfree people like me) it would still be delicious! 🍠

  • simple, delicious, and customisable! i’m not a chorizo fan but i love the rest of the recipe so i can just substitute that with chicken or something else.

  • I just read this article and I can’t wait to sign up. There’s nothing better than being rewarded for giving your honest opinion on various topics that may also be important to our local or state community, or even topics of interest to the country. Based on the comments of other people in this community, you can reap many benefits while helping companies make the best decisions for their customers. I can’t wait to start enjoying this portal, and many thanks to the person who brings us such fabulous opportunities to earn some money.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
