Hi again!
Has anyone done Ebay through Blink and received points? I signed up for Ebay through blink and have gone through Blink to make some bids. Have any of you done this and received your points? I was just curious! Thanks for the help!

I already had an E-bay account so I couldn't get the big points for signing up but I have made bids through their link. They've been real fast to credit me for the points too. I didn't win my auctions though, I always get outbid at the last second. At least I still get the Blink points though. :D

Thank you for your quick reply! I was lucky to get the big points and have made several bids, I don't win any bids either. I am just trying to figure it all out! I just wanted to make sure that all my effort wouldn't be wasted with ebay if they never awarded the points. I am glad you have had such a good result with them. Thanks again!

Just so you know.....if you do Ebay on CR or CTTM it will take less than half as many clicks to get $10 as it does on Blink.

Personally I've been skipping Blink lately and really racking up the points on CR.....I highly doubt this Ebay bidding for points will last long. Reminds me too much of those greeting cards we were all doing.

Do you have to win your bid to get credited from CR or CTTM? At Blink you still get credit even if you don't win. Which I guess would be one reason if they decide to not keep it. My problem is I very rarely win. I use the automatic bid feature and somehow I still get beat at the last minute.

Come to think of it, I'm not having good luck anywhere lately -- no mail from MyPoints, I lose most of my bids at E-bay -- maybe I'm jinxed!

:eek:

Belle or Cinders,
What programs are these? I only do milesource and blink. I am very new to this, only a few days and wonder if I am wasting my time. I made more yesterday returning bottles for reycling (kids buy Disney Dollars for their spending money) than I did in three days clicking. Any opinions on which program is best, I do not shop online often. Thanks for your help!

CR -- I think that is CreationsRewards but I don't do it so I couldn't say for sure.

CTTM -- is ClickToTheMagic I do that one.

Here's a list of what I do
Blink, ClickToTheMagic, MemoLink, MileSource and MyPoints.

I started my first program on Jan 24 and kept adding when I heard about another one. That's how I ended up with 5. I rarely (next to never) shop online so to me it seems like slow going but we aren't going to WDW until December so I figure I have time to work at it. I checked what prize I wanted, counted the days until we leave, subtracted out shipping time and got them all figured out as to how many points I need to earn each day to reach my prize. It takes me about an hour every night to do all 5. I average about 1000pts per night on Blink.

I hope I was at least a little helpful. I'm new to it all too so I don't have an opinion yet as to which is best. Basically, I think if you shop on-line you can get points faster. Did you set up a seperate e-mail account just for your Reward Programs, you'll get bombarded with e-mails once you get started.

:D

I was doing Ebay clicks through Blink, but have switched to Creation Rewards and Prima Rewards...I keep alternating! LOL...Prima Rewards gives you 20 points for each Ebay bid! :)
