I am not going to write a lot of garbage and try to make this long, but I will give you basic facts and stories. Memolink is a site that you get gift certificates and other ways of cash. I have received total about $40 worth of prizes. Successfully I have received a $10 gift certificate to the Olive Garden, a $25 gift certificate to Abercrombie and Fitch, and a $5 donation to the Firefighter's 9-11 Relief Fund. Unfortunately, there are still around $15 worth of prizes still not delivered.
I ordered my $10 American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund Donation about a week after the attacks, and I have yet to receive notification the donation has been made from Memolink (Memolink sends you a certificate saying that you have made a donation). The Firefighter Fund came out within one month. I also have a 30 minute phone card (worth $5) that I ordered back in March, and 8 months later, it still isn't here. Both orders say they have been filled, but it has not shown up in the mail. On their website, it said that I should receive it 10 days later at the most. Obviously, this isn't true. I was forced to contact customer support for all of these prizes and I got the same old excuse, "There have been some delays, things have been slow, etc. etc. etc." I have never received a true personal response; it always sounds like a form letter. Their original promises have proven a fallacy. As of today, November 25, the 2 gifts have not showed up.
Their CEO wrote an email saying for all of us that didn't receive our gifts that are waiting over a certain number of months, would earn 50% bonus points as well as all other prizes filled within I believe 1-2 months. This obviously hasn't happened either.
I guess the positive thing is that you do end up getting your prizes in the end, and it is well worth it. This has to be the easiest site to earn money. They have now added real money prizes and donations, not just gift certs. You don't have to spend money to earn points, and there are many ways to gain big chunks of points without spending money.
I'm just hoping my prize will come sooner or later...
Just an update, about a year later from the time I wrote this. I did end up receiving the certificate. However, they are still very slow when it comes to sending out prizes. Their efficiency has not improved, nor do the members get any email updates. I would still try out the service, but order as far ahead of time as you can.
I wrote this a very long time ago, but my update is that their prizes are now being delivered much faster than before. It still takes awhile, but you will get it. It is an excellent site to make some cash and/or gift certificates from and I highly recommend it.
