Plink!

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been caught up doing a number of things as well as making some successful sales on Amazon (just old N64 games). I'm amassing a lot of aluminum and metal for a trip to the scrapyard here in the next week (I'll make a post about that and what I earn). And I'm starting to do some research on different cash back credit cards. I've still never had a credit card of any sorts (bank card all the way, oh yeah!), so it's new territory that I'm iffy to cross into.

On the note of cards and purchases though, I wanted to recommend Plink. I like Plink very much. I was wary to try it (you have to give them your debit/credit card info), but I had heard so many good things about it and loved the idea, so I decided to jump on in and give it a go.

Plink is a rewards service. You have a "wallet" for a few different stores or restaurants that you frequent (and that they work with, mind you), and when you make purchases at these places, Plink rewards you with some points. Obviously the more you spend (up to a certain, varying amount) the more points you get back. When you meet the required threshold, you may turn in these points for gift cards to a number of popular (heh) places like Wal-Mart, Barnes and Noble, Amazon, iTunes and so on. 100 points represents a dollar towards these, and the thresholds are your common $5, $10, $25, etc. amounts. Plink loves to do specials too, where spending at certain shops in a given week nets you double points, for example.

I've already earned a Wal-Mart gift card, and I'm on my way to my next, so I can guarantee that it's legit (I mean, for what my guarantee is worth to you anyway). It's not too bad, honestly, and you might as well get something back if you go to Dunkin Donuts, Kmart or whatever else they have available.

I hope you've found this little review handy and enlightening. Share your thoughts, +1's, likes, etc. I appreciate your time. And if you decide to give Plink a go, be sure to use my Plink referral link so that everyone's a winner today! Hurrah! Thank you and that is all.
