Unhappy Blink terminated

Well, it finally happened! When I logged in to Blink tonight at 10:13pm eastern time, the site had the following message:

IMPORTANT TERMINATION NOTICE TO BLINK.COM MEMBERS: We will terminate this web site (and all memberships) on November 22, 2003 at 11:59 p.m. eastern time. Any unused or unredeemed Points remaining in a membership account after that date/time are void and ineligible for redemption. We urge you to use your Points prior to that date/time.
Please feel free to contact Blink customer service with regard to any questions that you may have. Customer Services can be reached via e-mail at [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now] or by phone at 818-817-2100. Office Hours are from 9:00 AM TO 6:00 PM PST

And there are no longer any sites to click on, not that you would want to. Anyone else get this message?

Angry Re: Blink terminated

I saw this message about two weeks ago. I quickly cashed in whatever points I had left, but I seriously doubt if Blink Ink will send out these final redemptions. I think they will just go under, like QOOL, etc, and "leave town at midnight."

Good luck to everyone. Anybody have positive news?

Re: Blink terminated

I am soooo behind on stuff... just tried to log in to blink then searched the forum here to find out what on earth had happened to them!

I know I didn't have enough points for redemption, anyone else have luck with cashing out?

How nice of blink to send out an email advising us of its termination...ugh

Re: Blink terminated

Has anybody received his/her final redemption? I'm beginning to think it will never arrive and that I have wasted my time with them.

I is so sad.

Re: Blink terminated

I haven't received my November 12, 2002 award or my August 12, 2003 award nor any reply to my numerous emails. Another one bites the dust a la my Qool membership...

Re: Blink terminated

Don't get me started about QOOL!

I had over 60,000 Qool coins with them when they suddenly closed down. I miss Blink because it was fun to do, especially when I figured out how to do batches of 12 links at one shot.

Prior to Blink's shutdown, I received their e-mail saying my redemption is being processed, but I really doubt if I will actually receive my measly $3; but hey, $3 is two slices of pizza or four hot dogs or 1/6,000 th of a new car.
