Does Blink "really" pay?

[sweetpeasmom]

I've been reading rather negative reports about Blink not paying. I'm at a cash out level now and am wondering if I should continue clicking for a higher reward or just attempt to cash out now and quit the program.

Any advice? I'm not in any rush for the webbie, although IF it came by Christmas, that would be nice.

when I did it clearly stated it would take 4-6 weeks.So I am being patient I think that alot of reward programs will go to longer redeemption periods.

RTV does also


I would not worry about them.I may eat these words in another couple of weeks but I hope not.

From my limited experience, yes. I submitted a request for a web certificate on 8/19/01 and it arrived on 8/31/01. Yesterday I requested another one so we'll see.

On the other hand I have to write them about almost every bonus other than their e-mail bonuses. They owed me almost 8,000 points for a referral's points and several bonuses I had done (other than e-mail type) and after about 30 days the points finally showed up in my account without any e-mail response. An earlier bonus problem in August did receive faster results and an e-mail reply though.

My advice is to keep very careful records of every bonus you earn, everything you sign up for etc. and check to see that it is credited. Other than e-mail and Instant type bonuses you will probably have to remind them in writing!

I have cashed out 3 times and always received my Webbies. It takes awhile but I calculate the length of time they tell me it will take and put a reminder on my calendar so I don't forget and they have always come before that date. I also always cash out at the lowest reward since you never know when these programs will go out of business.

I cashed out for the first time early Sept. for a Direct Certificate, hadn't heard anything so last week I emailed and received a quick reply. They are not doing the Direct Cert. anymore so they told me I could pick something else or offered me double the redemption for a Give Anything Gift Cetificate. I received the Gift Cert. via email last night. They did mention that they are located in NY near the World Trade Center so they have not had full acccess to their offices for the past month.

What addy did you use? I have been e-mailing them about my $5 WC from 8/15 for over a month and they have NEVER answered me. How did you get them to reply to you?

[tcarr5]

I finally got my Amazon.com gift certificates from Blink Monday (10/15). One was for points redeemed August 30th and the other was for points redeemed on September 19th. Amazon.com was very quick in their shipment. I came home tonight to my new Michael Crawford - The Disney Album cd. :) Lisa

Yes, they pay.....

[starwood]

Well I guess they just don't like me. I have e-mailed them at least 10 times regarding my WC and they have not answered me once. I have used the contact us link and replied to the e-mail they sent when I redeemed and they just don't answer me.

I ordered a WC back in mid-August and finally I got it on Monday. However, I did receive e-mails from them telling me that they were located close to the World Trade Centers and didn't have full access their offices.

This is one program that I wouldn't stockpile points for. As soon as I get enough for a WC, I cash in.

I appreciate all the input. Think I'll go cash out now!
