Blink Has Been Sold!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jennymouse]

I just copied this off of My Coupons boards. I guess it explains alot:

Blink has been sold!!!!
Just pulled this off of F---Company.com web site. Wonder how or if this will effect any of us! Any thoughts?

FROM FC

Looks like Blink.com (former online-bookmark service, yay) has just been sold to the Vendare Group, who's planning on canning... almost everyone.
When: 5/28/2002
Company: Blink.com



You guys know what site they're talking about getting that info from. Any of you long timers have any thoughts on what will happen now?

 

[Maleficent2]

It depends on whom they were sold too!!!!!

Oh man, I was less than 500 points away from $25.

 

[eller]

Yeah, I was almost to $25 also. What a bummer, I liked Blink!

Not to change the subject, but do any of you use My Points or Milesource? If so, how easy is it and do you really get money to use at Disney places? I was going to do Blink but maybe I will wait to see what happens. Thanks for your help! This is my 1st time to Disney and I am on a tight budget!

 

[jennymouse]

Maybe it's a good thing? Maybe this company will be better!

PiazzaM, you can earn $ & giftcertificates to use at Disney, but you have to have the patience of Job...it doesn't happen quick, but you still have time before your trip to earn some stuff. If I were you I'd do:

www.milesource.com you've got time to earn 1 $25 Rainforest Cafe giftcertificate.

www.creationsrewards.com you've got time to earn a few Disney Dollars here.

www.searchcactus.com Here when you get to $20, they send you a check...you've got time to earn up to $60 here.

www.memolink.com Here you can get probably $20 of giftcertificates to different places. (I get Walmart because I want to buy film before I go)

There's a thread here you can find to get instructions to these programs. Good Luck. Let us know if you have questions.

Well, I went ahead and cashed out this morning for a $20 webbie. Let's see if I get it.

 

[Tantor]

I wonder if we will see Blink 20's today!?!?!?

 

[Maleficent2]

PiazzaM

yes we really get money to use at WDW!

The last two years I have almost totally paid for our WDW vacations with Rewards.

not to mention loads of Christmas Presents.

this years trip with be partially paid for with rewards.(due to slumping eco rewards have cut back)

Hmmm, Blink is still crediting points as of right now. Maybe they will keep cashing out for a while??!!! Please!! I'm close to another webbie!!!

 

[lisalynn]

Boo Hoo! I was getting so close to cashing out for a $25 webbie! I just went ahead & cashed out for 2--$10 ones instead. I hate to see Blink "go by the wayside", this is one of the very few programs I even do anymore.

Vendare has been prominently featured on Blink, at least for the past month since I've been on. Over the weekend, I clicked on the "About Us" Link and was sent to the Vendare site. Blink was still crediting Big Grab Points as of the morning. They credited me with 253,000 on one account, 3,000 on the other.

If something hasn't happened yet, I doubt that it will.

 

[jennymouse]

The thing is, is that they're way behind on paying....I don't know of anyone here or on My Coupons that has gotten paid since like Feb/March? Lot's longer than they normally took. As for me, I'm not spending any more time on that sight until I get the webbies they owe me.

I'm sure everyone is like me, I don't care who owns them, as long as they pay....of course they could up the points on stuff too, but I don't see that happening.

 

[disneycub]

Perhaps that's why people are getting fired? Poor customer service?

Just a thought....
