If you haven’t heard of Plink it is definitely worth looking into, especially if you eat out. We don’t eat out a ton, but I’ve still managed to use it a lot. They offer promotions like spend $25 at the Gap and earn 250 points. Then you can redeem points for gift cards. Gift cards start at a $10 gift card for 1,000 points. You can get gift cards from Amazon, Walmart, Kohl’s, Overstock and others. You can also purchase gift cards and earn plink points.

You do have to link a credit or debit card to plink. I checked them out before doing this. I even called my bank and felt confident that my information was safe. But you can do the research you feel is needed.

Right now Plink is offering a promotion for new members. Spend any amount at McDonald’s (I bought an ice cream cone) and you earn 1,000 points. That is enough to get a $10 gift card!

I have been putting my plink to good use. The Kmart nearest us is going out of business, so everything is marked down. I’ve been shopping the clearance section. My favorite deals so far: a scooter for $12 (originally $65) for Aiden for Christmas and a 4 place settings set of white dishes (something I’ve been wanting for a while) for $12 (originally $39.99!). Plink is offering 300 points for any purchase over $50. You can use the offer as many times as you want during the time it is available. I’ve earned enough points for another $10 gift card and scored great deals at Kmart on things I would be buying anyway. I have Christmas pretty much done. We are going to be spoiled this year!

Have I sold you yet? Most of the restaurant offers give you even more points per dollar spent. Sign up here: Plink.com
