I've been a member for over a year and can report a pretty good experience using their cashback service.
Sometimes purchases can be slow to track and I've had a few where they have not tracked at all, but that said, any that I've raised missing cashback claims for have eventually tracked and become payable.

BizReport : Loyalty Marketing : November 29, 2013
Experts: The reward options that will engage consumers
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming more important to consumers. This is emphasized in the 2013 Cone Communications/Echo Global CSR study that revealed consumer preferences towards giving and supporting cause-conscious brands.
Kristina: What types of rewards are consumers most looking for at this point?
Peter Gorla, Managing Director, VOILA Hotel Rewards: Similar to the global chain loyalty programs, VOILÀ features many different types of redemption partners, including airlines, retail partners, banks and charities. However, even with all of those alternative redemption options, members gravitate towards Award Night redemptions with a much higher bias. I see this trend continuing with VOILÀ and it's what my counterparts at other hotel loyalty programs have confirmed anecdotally.
Mark Dority, Director of Business Development, KULA Causes: The core product (overnight stays or airline seats) will always be the number one reward option for loyalty members. As loyalty marketers we know we cannot always fulfill this demand so it is key to provide compelling rewards to keep members engaged in the earn/burn cycle of the program. Kula's proposition falls directly in line with this need to provide compelling rewards and member engagement. Because Kula offers 2 million causes that reach every corner of the globe, there is the opportunity to reach virtually member's individual affinity.
Kristina: Are you seeing a bigger uptick for programs that allow consumers to join a cause?
Peter: Yes, this appears to be the case. I think corporations, in general, are realizing that they can help to make the world a better place, while at the same time fulfilling their duties to shareholders. There is certainly a place in any and all loyalty programs for charitable redemption options, and for some members this is the ideal use of their points.
Mark: The two stats that stand out [from the Cone study] are; 91% of global consumers are likely to switch brands to one associated with a good cause(s) given comparable price and quality, and 93% of global consumers say they want to see more of the products, services and retailers they frequent to support worthy social and environmental issues. This shows that consumers are now more than ever looking at brands that are doing good and rewarding them with their patronage.
Kristina: What is the draw to this kind of program?
Peter: VOILÀ's points-based frequency guest program provides recognition benefits and room redemption opportunities at participating network hotels. But unlike big chain programs, VOILÀ enables independent hotel groups to maintain their branding and unique qualities. To achieve this, VOILÀ provides hotel- or group-branded solutions for our partner hotels, with VOILÀ acting as the supporting brand (similar to Star Alliance or OneWorld for frequent flyer programs).
Mark: Just like VOILÀ, Kula supports its partners with hyper-local content. This allows the individual partners, and hotels in this case, to use Kula's CLM™ (Cause-Related Loyalty Marketing) platform to engage members in a more personalized manner. Because of this we feel it's a win-win-win situation.

This is a great camera for such a price, it gives you everything you need to take some nice pictures. It gives you exactly what it promises to offer. The components seem to be very robust and there is no cheap stuff used in it.

7 Israeli Arabs Accused of Forming ISIS Cell to Strike Police, IDFThursday, October 1st, 2015
Cleared for release: A group of seven Israeli Arab citizens have been arrested in connection with formation of an ISIS terror cell. Details of the arrests, carried out in August, were under gag order until the suspects were indicted in Nazareth district court Thursday morning.
The names of two of the members of the cell remain under wraps, pending release by security officials.
The members of the group are all residents of the Lower Galilee and all but one were caught in a joint sting operation carried out by Israel Police together with the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet). The seventh is already serving time.
They are accused of possessing weapons and undergoing training to attack Israeli police and IDF military targets.
One of the suspects has been incarcerated in an Israeli prison since 2009, serving a life sentence for involvement in a 2009 murder. He was involved in the organization and plotting of targets.
"Exposing the terror cell's plans in advance and preventing murderous attacks by its members, points to the growing threat of the exodus of the members to jihad fighting areas throughout the world," the Shin Bet said in a statement.
The confessed to membership in the "Salfiyeh Jihad terrorist group, and said they were tasked with setting up a terror network in Israel for the Da'esh (ISIS) terror organization, with the stated intent to carry out attacks.
Mohammad Ihab Mahmad Sharif, 22; Mahmad Hamad MahMad Jiza'ala, 23; and Ahmad Omar Mahmad Mahajna, 19, all residents of the village of Yafiyeh, were taken into custody in August.
Two others, residents of Nazareth were also arrested in connection with the cell: Ahmad Ali Halil Ahmad, 26, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of Yafim Weinstein in 2009, was arrested in his cell. His 55-year-old father, Ali Halil Salim Ahmad, 55 (Ahmad's father), was arrested in their hometown of Nazareth. Both are accused of providing the weapons to the group of young men from Yafiyeh.
The suspects admitted under Shin Bet questioning to possession of weapons, and in November 2014 maintained contact via the Internet with those who are currently fighting in the ranks of ISIS in Syria, among other charges.
They also confessed to planning an attack on an IDF base near Migdal HaEmek, and to numerous surveillance operations in order to study the target in detail prior to an attack.
The cell gathered intelligence on another target – a police car that patrolled the town of Migdal HaEmek.
Targets for firebomb attacks included police stations in Migdal HaEmek and Nazareth.
In addition, the cell plotted attacks on a number of business establishments in Nazareth which sell alcohol. The attacks were aimed at damaging the businesses but without inflicting casualties, according to court papers. (It is forbidden to drink alcohol under Islamic law.)
Further details about the suspects and their planned operations remain under gag order at this time, according to court papers. The order has been extended to Oct. 18. The suspects are charged with possession of weapons, contact with a foreign agent, membership and involvement in an outlawed organization and other security offenses.Hana Levi Julian

$52,000 for 1-month county job
Windfall could increase if board grants request that would bolster pension check by 25%
Renee Booker's return to Milwaukee County government turned out to be brief, but lucrative.
The 55-year-old Booker started work Dec. 29, hired to the county's top administrative post by County Board Chairman Lee Holloway during Holloway's brief stint as acting county executive.
But Booker punched out for good just one month later on Feb. 3, amid questions about his competence and resistance by county supervisors to confirming the Booker appointment.
Booker collected more than $52,000 for the temporary gig, including enhanced sick leave and vacation payouts.
His windfall included $12,037 in wages for his work as director of the county's Department of Administration, $25,000 in a payout for unused sick leave and $15,509 in vacation pay, according to county records.
He's also petitioning the county Pension Board to allow him to change his pension status, a move that could have far greater value over the long run by bolstering his pension checks by about 25%.
"It sounds like he hit the lottery working here for 30 days," said County Supervisor Joe Sanfelippo. He'll ask for consideration of revisions to the county rules on vacation payouts so the amount of vacation pay is prorated based on how many months of a year are worked, Sanfelippo said.
Supervisor Patricia Jursik said the county should challenge Booker's enhanced benefit payouts because he never got the required County Board confirmation for his January job. She blasted Holloway over the hiring, saying it looked like favoritism.
"Booker was hired illegally," Jursik said. She wants a review on whether his boosted sick leave and vacation pay can be overturned based on his lack of County Board confirmation.
In an interview, Booker said Holloway's job offer came as a surprise. He came back to work for the county to help out, not to pad his pension or bolster other county benefits, he said.
"It wasn't my intent to go there for 30 days for a large payout," he said. Booker said his compensation, sick leave and vacation payouts followed county rules.
Booker said he knew Holloway but wasn't a personal friend when he got the job offer.
"We are not buddies," Booker said. "This was not a personal favor."
Holloway, through a County Board spokesman, said he had no knowledge of the financial impact of Booker's latest employment on his sick leave or vacation pay. In January, Holloway said he hired Booker because he thought he was well qualified for the job.
The job was a homecoming of sorts. Booker had put in 26 years with the county earlier in his career, but that stint ended in 2002 when then-County Executive Scott Walker abolished Booker's job. Booker had been demoted earlier after a county audit found $6 million in overspending at the county's Child Welfare Division, which Booker headed.
Booker took a leave of absence as CEO of the North Avenue Community Development Corp. to accept Holloway's offer for a job that paid $120,372 a year, nearly double what he was making when he left the county eight years earlier.
Booker said he has since returned to work for North Avenue Community Development.
Lucrative timing
Holloway hired Booker on his first full day as acting county executive, which was also the last county workday of 2010. The following day, Dec. 30, was an unpaid furlough day for most county employees, and Dec. 31 was a paid holiday.
By virtue of having worked just one day last year, Booker became eligible for six weeks of paid vacation in 2011 under county rules. He qualified based on having worked more than 20 years for the county. The fact that he worked only a bit more than four weeks in 2011 did not disqualify him from the full six weeks of vacation pay, said Candace Richards, the county's acting personnel director.
The vacation pay was all at his new rate, which came to nearly $58 an hour - almost double the $31.73 an hour Booker had earned when he left the county in 2002 as head of an inmate work and training program at the County Correctional Facility-South in Franklin.
Booker's sick leave payout also nearly doubled because it was based on his new, higher pay rate. He earned the sick time over the course of his earlier 26-year county career at the rate of one day per month. Employees hired before 1994 get paid cash for any unused sick leave when they retire, based on their last wage level.
As for the pension boost he's seeking, Booker said: "I am not asking for anything that any other retiree wouldn't be eligible for."
Booker had retired as of Dec. 1, accepting a 25% discount because he wasn't yet eligible for a full pension. Booker got one pension check for $2,925 before accepting the new county job.
His retirement was then put on hold. Booker is seeking to formally rescind his original retirement so he can retire under the county's "Rule of 75," which would give him the 25% bump. The rule permits veteran workers whose age and job tenure add up to at least 75 to retire with full benefits. Booker's initial bid for the changed retirement status was denied by the county's Employees' Retirement System.
A Feb. 11 letter to Booker from Marian Ninneman, the retirement system's operations manager, said no county ordinance or rule "allows you to re-retire under a different benefit form."
Sanfelippo said Booker shouldn't be permitted to alter his retirement status. Jursik said she'll seek a County Board vote recommending that the Pension Board deny Booker's pension request. The Pension Board, however, is scheduled to review Booker's appeal Wednesday and the County Board doesn't meet until the next week.
If Booker is allowed to change terms of his retirement, it could set off a rush of retirees hoping to undo their retirements in hopes of securing bigger payouts, Supervisor Lynne De Bruin said. She called Booker's enhanced benefit payouts ridiculous and blamed it on a failure to check into his benefit eligibility when he was rehired in December.
Booker left his county job amid moves by county supervisors to force a confirmation vote that Holloway was trying to delay. Critics on the County Board questioned Booker's qualifications for the county administrative services post under Holloway, based on Booker's handling of the child welfare spending problems.
"Renee Booker is not someone I would want to have running a major department, given his past performance," De Bruin said in January. The child welfare overspending under Booker's watch led to the state's canceling of its contract with the county for the program.
De Bruin and others also faulted Holloway for filling major county jobs while serving as acting county executive. Those picks should be left for the new executive, critics said. Holloway also ran for county executive but was eliminated in a February primary election. Chris Abele won the job in the April 5 general election.
Abele said Thursday he would "work closely with the County Board to reform the system that allowed this abuse of taxpayer dollars to occur in the first place."
Holloway defended Booker and expressed disappointment when he quit amid the turmoil over his appointment. Holloway suggested that stress over the confirmation controversy had harmed Booker's health. Booker said that wasn't accurate.
"I had other things going on, heart problems," Booker said. "The one had nothing to do with the other."
Booker said he never would have taken his last county job "had I known that kind of firestorm was going to hit."

The Grip and Jail's Oakhouse experience, which recently celebrated its strange anniversary
Nobody can remember what the point of Grip and Jail's Oakhouse is. It was once a fun place with things to play on, but some stuck-up paralegals had it removed to further inflate their egos.

Legal fraternity mourns Greg King
Relevant offers
He was known for defending notorious criminals but Greg King will also be remembered as a passionate boxing fan who helped rescue a rugby league club from the brink of financial disaster.
King, 43, a top Wellington lawyer, most recently successfully defended Ewen Macdonald against a charge of murdering Scott Guy.
King's body was discovered at the bottom of Dungarvan Rd, Newlands, about 10.30am on Saturday.
His death is a suspected suicide and has been referred to the coroner.
Lawyers, convicted criminals, and victims' families all paid tribute to King over the weekend - and yesterday he was remembered as a man committed to giving something back to the local sporting community.
Wainuiomata Rugby League Club spokesman Simon Itula said King played a significant role in rescuing the club from serious financial trouble when he became involved as a sponsor in 2008.
He later became a committee and executive member of the club.
King's legal knowledge and business skills were invaluable, Mr Itula said.
"He was just hugely inspirational and always positive. Even though we knew we were struggling and we felt there was no way out, he would always come in and allow us to remain positive."
King's death left "a huge hole" the club would struggle to fill, Itula said.
"Not having his wisdom, his humour and his guidance - it will have a pretty big impact on us for sure. How could you fill shoes like that?"
A fortnight ago King was MC at the Mexted Suzuki Charity Fight Night in Upper Hutt in front of a 1200-strong crowd.
Wellington Boxing Association chairman Ian Scott said he first discovered King had an interest in boxing in 2002.
"What a lot of people don't realise is that he was very, very keen on boxing. He was very, very knowledgeable.
"He's a showman, Greg, and his natural flair just took over and you could see he was enjoying something that was removed from his normal."
Former Wellington District Law Society president Gary Turkington said he returned from overseas last week and contacted King on Thursday about a criminal appeal the pair were working on together. "Let's return to the saga," King had said to him.
"He was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and there was nothing to suggest for one moment that there was anything amiss.
"He was very affable and enormously liked and had the gift of the gab, which is pretty essential if you're in criminal work.
"He'll be sorely missed."
Turkington said the pair had discussed King's battle with diabetes.
"It didn't seem to unduly bother him. It didn't for one moment cloud his thinking as far as I could determine."
It is understood King missed the judge's summing-up in a manslaughter trial in Wellington last Wednesday to attend a medical appointment.
Ben Vanderkolk, who was the lead Crown prosecutor in the Ewen Macdonald trial this year, said he had a feeling of ''tragic numbness''.
''He was a lawyer in his prime and his life has been cut short.''
Vanderkolk said he had faced King in three murder trials over a decade and was impressed with his planning.
''He always knew his case inside out before it went to trial.
''He was a brilliant strategist with an agile mind.
''He would have a plan and stick to it, because he was confident it was the right one.''
King was also easy to deal with outside the courtroom before a trial, which Vanderkolk said made the process much easier.
''You could settle things a long way out from a trial with him and know what to expect.
''All his trials were incredibly focused.''
Former MP and fellow Wellington lawyer Stephen Franks said he would remember King as a man deeply concerned about issues of law reform.
"For me Greg was like coming across an oasis in the desert.
"It was so refreshing to find someone who wanted to put time into improving it [the legal system] and open-minded about the criticisms."
Attorney-General Christopher Finlayson said King had achieved "a huge amount" despite his relative youth.
The father of two young children - Pippa, 5, and Millie, 4 - King ran a law practice with his wife, Catherine Milnes-King, out of Lower Hutt.
As well as Ewen Macdonald, he acted for Clayton Weatherston, John Barlow, Scott Watson and Bruce Howse.
Police are appealing for sightings of King's silver Mercedes-Benz in the Newlands area from midday Friday.

"The principles create 'a workable road map' to lawful status for people of good will who are already here; reform our legal immigration system to strengthen the American economy and American families and create an effective employment verification system that will prevent identity theft and end the hiring of future unauthorized workers," the Chamber said in a statement.
Jason Mathis, executive vice president of the Salt Lake Chamber, said the nation needs hardworking and highly educated workers to enable the American economy to flourish.
"Utah's business community is encouraged by the reasonable principles outlined today and we will continue to encourage members of Utah's federal delegation to lead efforts to fix our broken immigration system."
Lee says no
Even as the Chamber was asking Utah's congressional delegation to be "united in common purpose and work as a team to reform America's broken immigration system," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, announced he was unable to support the principles for reform developed by the bipartisan Senate group.
"These guidelines contemplate a policy that will grant special benefits to illegal immigrants based on their unlawful presence in the country. Reforms to our complex and dysfunctional immigration system should not in any way favor those who came here illegally over the millions of applicants who seek to come here lawfully," Lee said in a statement.
The framework carves out an exception for agricultural workers "that has little justification," he said.
Roger Tsai, a Salt Lake attorney who represents employers on immigration matters, said the success of the reform efforts "will be based upon the details."
The green card provisions of the proposal raise some questions, he said. If undocumented applicants cannot receive green cards until people in line receive theirs, the wait could be at least four years, based on current visa caps, Tsai said.
"What if it's 10 years? What if it's 15 years?" he said.
The Senate agreement dovetails the proposal Obama is expected to announce on Tuesday. National observers say the administration's plan largely mirrors the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' "Principles on Immigration Reform and Our Commitment to the American Dream," which was released in November.
It declares the caucuses' "commitment to the American people to work tirelessly toward common sense, comprehensive immigration reform that serves America's interests, promotes fairness and rule of law and contributes effectively and meaningfully to our economic well-being an recovery."

Recruiting Trail: Jalen Merrick's decision may take some time
Published: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 12:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 12:33 p.m.
Those who were hoping to see New Smyrna Beach senior offensive lineman Jalen Merrick pick a school before the start of the season may be disappointed.
Merrick (6-5, 300) said last week that he was only "about 75 percent" decided in the process despite hints over the last several weeks that he may be poised to make a commitment.
Previously, Merrick said that he was favoring Florida, Florida State, South Carolina and Miami.
Westbrook gets offer from Southern Cal
Mainland senior AJ Westbrook (6-0, 177) recently added an offer from Southern Cal.
But despite the strong connection between the Trojans and Mainland — former Bucs Quinton Powell and Leonard Williams are key members of the program's defense — Westbrook indicated on Twitter that his commitment to Florida State remains strong.
Lopez juniors getting looks
Father Lopez junior receiver Brant Williams (6-0, 140) and junior defensive linemen Juwan Ross may be players to keep an eye on.
Williams put together a nice spring game for the Green Wave, leading them to a win, and his coach Jason Dunlap said Michigan State and Maryland have expressed interest. Williams had 23 catches for 438 yards and two touchdowns last season.
Ross (6-1, 275) said he has also received interest from Michigan State and Maryland. Ross had 22 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season.
Trinity Christian's Laughter looking for offers
Trinity Christian's Seth Laughter heads into his senior season looking to add a few more offers to the fold.
Laughter said he currently has an offer from Kentucky Christian and is hearing from Charleston Southern.
"I just have to keep working hard, and try to get my name out there," Laughter said.
Laughter (6-2, 230) had 55 tackles and nine sacks last season. He said he believes he best fits at defensive end or linebacker at the next level.
Cason hoping for shot with Stetson
Pine Ridge fullback Josh Cason (5-7, 205) said he recently took an unofficial visit to Stetson and came away impressed.
"I feel pretty good about them," he said.
Cason said he plans to go to some Stetson games this year and attend an open house at the school.
Ballash also a Stetson fan
Seabreeze senior defensive back Bubba Ballash (6-0, 165) said he has also heard from Stetson.
"I'm excited about that," Ballash said. "I plan to go visit there."
Ballash had 52 tackles and two interceptions last season.

Talk About Urban Gardening — Is This The Farming System Of The Future?
When you think of an abandoned warehouse, visions of street graffiti, vagrants, and teenage high jinks probably come to mind. So, never did we think an empty, boring building could be transformed into a 90,000-square-foot gardening mecca, complete with the freshest arugula, basil, and even fish to grace your taste buds. Well, FarmedHere did. The company behind the Chicago-based facility has built the largest indoor aquaponic farm in the country, according to Co.Exist.
From the outside, the Bedford Park warehouse is as regular as they come, but peek inside and see floor-to-ceiling shelves covered in crops. And, not only are these goods organically certified by the USDA, but the operation uses less energy and only 3% of the water used in typical agriculture. Seeing that FarmedHere plans to supply millions of pounds of product to local vendors and restaurants, and resides only 15 minutes from downtown Chicago, is this where the future of farming is headed? One thing is for sure: Farm-to-table has never been so easy. (Co.Exist)
