4 Plink Accounts + 4 Ink Cards = 1,035 Free UR Points and $2.55 Profit
Plink is an online website where you earn Plink Points (worth 1 cent each in terms of gift cards) for shopping at certain merchants with certain credit cards. Currently, you can earn 300 Plink Points (worth $3.00 in gift cards) for shopping at Staples and using your linked (or should I say “Ink”ed) card and spending more than $60 in a single transaction.
Let’s image a world without Plink. All you have is a Chase Ink card, a Staples store, and want to purchase a $200 gift card. The total price is $206.95. You earn 5 UR Points with your Ink card for a total of 1,035 UR Points for $6.95 = 0.67 cents per point. Pretty good deal right?
Now let’s image a world with Plink. Sign up for Plink and register your Chase Ink card (you can only link 1 credit card per account). Now repeat the above steps. Your total is still $206.95 and you earn 1,035 UR Points. Now include the $3.00 in Plink points in your activation fee, which lowers your activation costs to $3.95 ($6.95 – $3.00). 1,035 UR Points for $3.95 = 0.38 cents per point. Even better right?

Now that you have a couple million Plink Points, it is very easy to redeem for gift cards. They have Amazon gift cards which are arguably the best gift cards to choose.
Order is complete as soon as you click one of the green circles.
As soon as you order your Amazon gift card, the Plink points are deducted from your account.
I received an email from Plink in a few minutes with the gift card code.
Adding the gift card balance to my Amazon account is quick and easy.
