I’m not gunna lie, I really do like Plink. I’ve been a member for a long time and have amassed over 21,000 Plink Points over the months. Whether you have been a (Plinkster? Plinker? PlinkPanther?) for a long time or just recently, you probably see the potential Plink has to be great.
But the problem with Plink is, they are only as good as the merchants they partner with and the Plink Points the merchants offer for purchases. We have had periods of really exciting merchants (mainly Staples for a long time, followed by a shorter stint with Office Depot), but right now, there really is nothing to get too excited about. Granted I love my fast food, going to the movies, buying shoes and flowers, but there is more to life than those things. Trust me on this.
So what is next for Plink? I really have no idea. I tweet them occasionally asking if any new merchants are on the way, but all I get is a vague reply with nothing more than a promise.
@travelwithgrant As old offers expire, new ones will be added. There are several we’ll be announcing in the next few months.

So as it stands today, we must wait… hopefully not too long, otherwise Plink will lose momentum.
New AMEX Offers For You: Trunk Club, TheCompanyStore, and Henri Bendel
Here are some of the newest AMEX Offers that showed up in my account this morning. You may/may not have the same offers. Also, you can also check out the new AMEX Offers Twitter page.
Personally I have never heard of any of those offers, so I am sitting out this week. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Have a great weekend everyone.
Keep posting the Amex offers. It’s the best way for me to find out about them. I hate having to log in and they don’t have an e-mail or tweet system that I can find.
Thanks Mike, I’m glad they are helpful. I will keep posting them then. Have you taken advantage of any from the last few weeks?
I cannot redeem at plink. Everything is out of stock. Has this been your experience lately?
The gift cards go in stock and everyone redeems them and then they go out of stock. If you follow me on twitter (https://twitter.com/travelwithgrant), I post updates when the gift cards come back in stock. Should be restocked in 2-3 days, maybe sooner.
I also have the same problem with Plink, I don’t really see how they run the business with always being out of stock with giftcards. Try promoting them when their is nothing in stock (which is pretty much always) not easy.
I don’t think they make enough money to buy enough gift cards.
