Blink's 10 point Authorization gone

Did anyone notice when Blink stopped giving a 10-point bonus for Authorization Code? You know, that stupid 4-digit number you have to type in. We still have to go thru the process but Blink no longer gives that 10 (measly) points.

Also, I've noticed that they haven't removed the dead 20-pointers from their web page.

It's like you know you are on the Titanic, you know it's taking on water and will ultimately sink, but it's going down slowly.

haven't seen that 10 point authorization for quite awhile - of course I also haven't seen the webcertificate I cashed out for 3 months ago - Signed up for some things and never got the points for it- don't have much faith in blink anymore - at all.

Verification pts

Harry (and everyone who posted before me),

Did you cash out recently, by any chance? Blink only hands out those 10 points once you have 10,000 points remaining in your account.

I have about 30,000 points and one day last week it just stopped giving me the 10 points.

With the 20 pointers that have been there for weeks and the site still being soooo slooooow after all the sites were down the other day, the only thing that gives me hope that someone still works there is that someone moved the fastclicks to other pages.


Update: Just tried to get into Blink and they're down for maintenance - hopefully that's a good sign??

Rolling eyes Disappeared for me too

Pretty sure it disappeared for everyone regardless of the number of points we have. Guess it is a way of cutting back on points.....

They're back, but nothing's changed.

realaud:
Are you actually getting the points? I still get the box to put the numbers in, but no points. January 22nd is the last day I received it (took forever to go those 2 pages to check my account!)

Unhappy Hey, did anyone count the number of lifeboats?

The Authorization Page still appears, but now it only states:

This step is necessary to assure your continued access to BlinkRewards. We'll ask you to do this once when you login to Blink each day, as part of our fraud protection program.


It used to also say that they are giving you 10 points for your trouble. Not anymore!

Mine stopped on the 20th.

Wonder if it just got abused so much, they took out the points?
