Do you use Plink? Not anymore you don't!

Ummm, alrighty. So I just got an email from Plink saying the following...

To Our Loyal Plink Members,

With much sadness and heavy hearts, we are sorry to tell you that Plink is closing its doors. As of today, the Plink site will be shut down and the program will cease to function.

As a start-up, we are reliant on continued funding and over the last year we have been unable to secure any additional funding. Unfortunately, without that funding, Plink can no longer continue to operate. As a team, we did everything we could to keep Plink alive, but we have now run out of time and options.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our loyal members who have supported us for the last three years. As a team, we want to thank all of our members, for their loyalty and continuing to stick with us to the end. We couldn’t have made it this far without such an amazing loyal, committed group of members.

We also want to thank all of our advertisers and partners who supported us over the last three years. It was their belief in us and willingness to support a small start-up that allowed Plink to grow. We are proud to have partnered with some of the largest restaurant and retail brands in the United States.

Moving forward, all Plink accounts will be closed. No further points can be redeemed. Thanks to all from the Plink Team.

Any further questions can be directed to support@plink.com.

Sincerely,
The Plink Team

Did Plink seriously just completely shut down without any prior notice whatsoever? The entire site has been shut down and you get the above message when you go there now...

If you had any points at all, sorry, you're screwed. I had around $20 worth of credit that I was waiting to redeem. Ugh. I hate how sites can do things like this without any repercussions at all. I never worried about them having my information, but now I'm starting to think about that as well.
