Blink

[RSJ5]

Does anyone ever get what they cash out for at Blink? I recently cashed out for a $5 Amazon gift certificate (my first time cashing out at Blink) and was wondering if I will ever get it. Thanks

I have only cashed out once at Blink, and it took a loooong time. I had given up, and it actually showed up in my inbox one day. I think it took several months for mine to arrive. Hope that helps!

I keep pretty detailed reward program records and here's my Blink redemption records:

#1 - webbie; requested 8/16/01; received 8/31/01
#2 - webbie; requested 10/17/01; received 10/31/01
#3 - webbie; requested 10/21/01; received 11/3/01
#4 - webbie; requested 1/19/02; received 1/30/02
#5 - MCDonald's gift certificates; requested 1/31/02; received 5/02 (they did run out of them but!!!!)
#6 - 2 webbies; requested 5/7/02; received 8/11/02
#7 - webbie; requested 7/8/02; received 9/11/02
#8 - webbie; requested 8/22/02; received 10/9/02
#9 - webbie; requested 9/2/02; received 10/9/02
#10 - webbie; requested 12/10/02; still waiting for
#11 - webbie; requested 12/21/02; still waiting for
#12 - webbie; requested 1/12/03; still waiting for

As you can see the waiting time has dramatically increased over the last few months (at least for webbies)!

boy, I H A T E Blink!

I have been waiting two months for hefty awards that should have been credited already. I e-mail them and takes about two weeks to get a reply. I mean a real reply! All they send you after the first two weeks is a "canned" response telling you that if you didn't get your rewards could have been because of this and that. They ignore the confirmation e-mails I forward.

I finally sent another note last night after canceling the service I applied for through them for my rewards. I told the company that they would not get my business unless I got my rewards. The company had not even heard of Blink! I told Blink I'll only use their site to click here and there but never to make purchases through their links, ever again.

For purchases, I'll stick to My Points. Even when I had problems with redemptions or awards, I was able to straighten it all out in days.

Blink is not worth the hassle.

As soon as I have enough to cash out at the next level, I'm done with this one. They have lousy customer service and they take forever to pay you. I refuse to do shopping and signups through them as a result of that, so it takes a very long time to reach any kind of rewards.

The last time I cashed in it took over two months to get my webbie. Of course by then, I had aready done a considerable amount of clicking and now I fell like I can't waste those points. Soon, very soon.....

That' what I am doing too... Give it a few weeks for their system to gas out my rewards if it ever will and then close.

I wanted to go for higher rewards but it is not worth it....
