Doncaster East Noodle Box loyalty program

A while ago I joined the Noodle Box loyalty reward program. I never once thought anymore about it, except to present the membership tag for scanning. At my last visit to Noodle Box they asked me if I wanted to use some of my points.

As it turned out I'd built up around 280 points and a regular meal was worth 200 points. I was quite pleased to have picked up some dinner for half the price. I decided to work out what the reward program is worth.

The 200 points is for $200 of spending. A regular meal is worth around $12. That means the loyalty reward program is equivalent to around a 6% discount. That's not a reasonable discount.

My favourite Noodle Box meal is Nasi Seafood. I wonder which meals others enjoy.

JustLocal is now trialling local property listings

I've now added to the Templestowe, Templestowe Lower, Doncaster, Doncaster East, Eltham and Bulleen postcode pages, a link to a page showing the latest properties listed in the area. Select Real Estate For Sale to go to the page listing the local properties. If a property interest you, click View to go to the selling agents site and the property.

If you're interested in a local property, it makes sense to check out the agent's information. Currently however agent's don't generally have a strong presence on the internet, so agents have to also forward their information on to one or more other advertisers at considerable cost to home sellers. Now if you're looking for a property by searching for the address in Google, you'll often find our page first in the results. A single click will then take you directly to the agent's page for the property and I feel that is the best place to find all the information the agent wishes to share.

If you or someone you know is thinking about selling a property, you're welcome to contact me and take advantage of the free market appraisal and recent property sales report I've organised with a leading independent real estate group. Should you wish to sell your home, I've also organised a no risk advertising approach. Your information will be passed onto the agent and they or an agent from their group will contact you.

However, it doesn't matter who you decide to sell your property with the agents I know or not. I'll still provide a link if the agent you select has a suitable page, so others can easily find your property using Google.

The trial for local real estate listings will run for the next 3-6 months. If you find this service to be of value I welcome your feedback. My aim is to provide services you find of value and I'll only know if you let me know either by using a service I provide, or by writing to me.

May your next home be the home of your dreams.
