This kinda sucks that it was no notice. Didn't get a chance to cash out only lost about $10 but still. One more thing gone.@Plink said:
Plink is Dead :(

- Start date
I used it for going out to movies and a few of the restaurants. Was more of an everyday spend bonus than a MS opportunity.

Got an email from Plink. It's shut down without warning. Once Staples was removed, there wasn't much MS purpose for Plink, but it's interesting that it shut down with no notice, and that all unredeemed points are forfeited. Here's the email....
To Our Loyal Plink Members,
With much sadness and heavy hearts, we are sorry to tell you that Plink is closing its doors. As of today, the Plink site will be shut down and the program will cease to function.
As a start-up, we are reliant on continued funding and over the last year we have been unable to secure any additional funding. Unfortunately, without that funding, Plink can no longer continue to operate. As a team, we did everything we could to keep Plink alive, but we have now run out of time and options.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our loyal members who have supported us for the last three years. As a team, we want to thank all of our members, for their loyalty and continuing to stick with us to the end. We couldn’t have made it this far without such an amazing loyal, committed group of members.
We also want to thank all of our advertisers and partners who supported us over the last three years. It was their belief in us and willingness to support a small start-up that allowed Plink to grow. We are proud to have partnered with some of the largest restaurant and retail brands in the United States.
Moving forward, all Plink accounts will be closed. No further points can be redeemed. Thanks to all from the Plink Team.
Any further questions can be directed to support@plink.com.
Sincerely,
The Plink Team

Died for me once they finally let us cash out after not letting us for awhile, just after staples was removed. Thought that was the end for sure.
Bets on what will shut down next? This one was just not terribly interesting or lucrative anymore. I kind of forgot about it and I guess so did a lot of people. Not sure which came first, it getting boring or people just not caring.

Actually, their other creditors are. I bet there will be a class-action, and you can get a couple of pennies in the mail.
Probably something in the terms and conditions that lets them off the hook.

That went away before I got my Ink, so Plink was like a zombie to me at that point.
