That was wierd. As I was reading your post I got the email from blink.

It basically looks like they're going to make the bookmarking service a pay for use service. I don't use the bookmarks anyway, I just use it for the awards, although I think I originally signed up for it for points on FreeRide or something quite awhile back before Blink had awards.

I haven't received it...but read about it on MyCoupons last night, so I cashed out, to be on the safe side!!

I don't think we have to be hasty and cash out. It looks like Blink will continue the way it is or we can pay for the "Pro" version which does not have advertising. This is pretty common.
