No big surprise here, huh? Oh well, I'm glad I finally got my webcertificates from them first.

 

[Maleficent2]

thanks for the heads up!!!! Only had enough for a $3 reward.

I expected this for some time now.

LOL- I just saw that when I logged onto Blink and was just coming here to post! I cashed out- found that I could get more if I redeemed for cash than if I redeem for a webcert as the points needed are lower.

 

[lollipop23]

i can't say i'm surprised or sorry. they had it coming for sure. i detested blink after what they did to me for no reason.... so i emailed blink support...

Subject: aww what a shame
To: support@blink.com




i told you months ago, after the way you treated me,
that your company was not quite headed in the right
direction. maybe you should have thought before
terminating 200,000 point accounts. i can't say i'm
sorry to see you drop off the internet.

take care,
laura

I tried cashing out because surprisingly enough I had points for $3, but I couldn't get it work so I had to email them. The screen kept kicking me back to the redeem area. ARGHHHH.

 

[Legends of Horizons]

MiknMinMouse, I'm having the same problem. This is a lot of trouble for $3 too!

 

[Eilonwy]

Well I have 7254 points in my account that are just going to rot.

I cashed out for a $10 webbie on 9/22, and of course haven't received anything yet....

 

[Debi]

Wow! I can't say I'm surprised. I haven't been an active member of Blink in months, so I'm not too upset to see them go. I just cashed out for $2, and have 7,100 points that will go to waste. Lets see if this money will actually show up.

 

[mad4themouse]

They can keep my single remaining point! I quit months ago because they took too long to send rewards, never answered emails and the point-earning opportunities were becoming fewer and fewer. I had to threaten them with a letter to the online BBB to get my last reward. I was so glad to scrape them off my shoe! Sorry for all of you who have useless points in your accounts.

 

[dtuleya]

Was able to cash out for $10 with a little over 2,000 left. Lets see if any of us actually get our checks.

 

[Glenn]

Havent been doing blink much since the changes. Ive cashed out and have over 5200 points left. I wonder if we will actually get paid or will it go the way of DA.

AHHHHHHH, DA that's a dirty word around here!!!

 

[MiknMinMouse]

I finally got the redemption to go through today. Now it's wait and see for the check.

 

[AdventurerKat]

I had alot of trouble with them so quit them long ago. Glad you were able to cash out though!

 

[Dznypal]

from blink

I cashed out 1-27-03 for a whopping $3!!

after quite a few emails (both to the customer service and to the famous Mark guy) a got an email from him saying there were going to send me a check since they had sent the money to money zap which I never got he said I would get the check with 10 -12 days

lo and behold on the 11th days I get my check!!

I better cash it quite so it doesn't bouce!!!

 

[eller]

Wow! Go away for a few days and there is some catching up to do. Unfortunately, I stopped doing Blink when they changed back in August (?) and now I only have 14,200 points. Just under 6,000 points for the $2.00. Oh well. I knew I'd loose those some day.

I did get the $10 WebCertificate from they moments before I shut down the computer when we left for WDW. I didn't end up spending it there though.

I might have to use if for groceries!

Dznypal- Please check your PM inbox! Thanks!

 

[Belle0101]

I was able to cash out for $15 cash, losing 6,868 points.

My DH was not able to cash out, losing 11,865 points.

I won't hold my breath for the money either. If it comes then hurray! I'll be spending it on more scrapbook supplies! Like I need anymore. But I was just into LSS to buy for an exchange and they have tons and tons of new stuff!

 

[dizneenut]

Can't say I am surprised. I redeemed for a $5 webbie back in Sept. Wonder if I'll ever get that?
I have 15,000+ points that will just go to waste.
