I got my daily Blink email with the "click this link for 10 points" message. It happened to be the one about signing up for Earthlink and getting 18,750 points. I didn't really pay attention to that at first, I just clicked on the link to get my 10 points. I entered the 4-digit sign-in/security number like always, and they said "Congratulations your balance is now 42,700 points." I said, "WHAT?!?" It was in the low 20K's. I looked at my account and realized I was credited the 18,750 points from Earthlink (went back and read the email I had deleted after clicking the link to see what the offer was). Now I didn't sign up for anything--we already have Earthlink. DH has a satellite internet connection at home through his employer, and that's what I use to connect with. :) Now, did Blink somehow detect that we were using Earthlink and decide to be generous and give me the 18,750 points? Has anybody else had this happen? Should I just shut-up and take my points. ;)

Well, I guess Blink realized their error, because my points were gone today. :(

Oh, well, it was nice to "look" at that total while it lasted. :)

As I was reading this, I was searching for that Earthilink email here!! ;) At least they realized their mistake now instead of waiting until you were ready to cash out! LOL

Same thing happened to me and we don't have earthlink! I click on it this morning and it credited 18,750 points. The points have been removed tonight.:(
