Memolink Reviews
Legit or Scam?
Memolink.com is an online
rewards company, based in Colorado, that has
been online since 1998. The company
offers its members a chance to earn various
rewards for performing simple online tasks.
Memolink members earn points by trying out
new products, visiting certain websites,
reading emails, online shopping, and
completing market research surveys.
After you complete a task you
earn points which are accumulated in your
account until you choose to cash them out
for rewards. Your basic rewards
include gift certificates for stores,
restaurants, and theaters. Memolink has been
very successful using these rewards to
recruit members and currently have over ten
million users.
This business model works because
advertisers cut product costs in return for
the large audience that Memolink can
deliver. Ideally, this is supposed to
be a win-win situation since you get
rewarded for browsing the net, advertisers
get eyeballs on their ad campaigns, and
Memolink gets paid for putting the two
together.
However, there are some complaints
from Memolink.com members who claim
that the company has not fulfilled its end
of the bargain. Folks have been
with Memolink for a long time and have
diligently saved up their points only to be
disappointed by the long wait and
sometimes non-deliverance of rewards.
Memolink's staff has issued several press
releases regarding the reason for delays and
non payment, claiming that they've been
temporarily backlogged. Yet, some
people have reported waiting several years
for their rewards and ultimately quitting
out of frustration.
The truth is that even if Memolink
paid out all rewards on time and without
complications the opportunity itself is not
lucrative. The value of Memolink
points based on the time it takes to earn
them when compared to their dollar value is
miniscule.
This goes for all online rewards
companies, by acting as middlemen for
advertisers they filter out most of the
profits for themselves and offer their
members pennies for reading emails and
completing offers.

David Dallas,TX | 3:42pm on April 16th, 2012  | I was a member for 5 years and there are times you won't get your points you earned.I never had a problem with getting rewards until a few months ago.They sent me a amazon gift card and the code in the email didn't work. After sending numerous emails to customer service without a response I canceled my account. |

D.L. Foreman New Orleans, LA | 8:56pm on October 9th, 2011  | As with any company that does business with the public, there will be customers who are satisfied and those who find fault no matter what is done. Memolink and I have a history going back to the late 90's; I've accumulated enough points (through shopping online, taking surveys, clicking the "Deal of the Day", participating in the daily lotto, and answering the daily trival question) to redeem for a variety of their items, all of which arrived within an ACCEPTABLE time frame.
Not overnight or next-day, but I didn't have to wait years either. Never called customer service, so I can't comment about that, but it's been MY experience that as long as you: 1) have REASONABLE expectations when deciding to complete an offer, and 2) realize that when/if mistakes happen, it's not an automatic red flag that "OMG, this company is a SCAM!!!", you just might be able to see the value in participating in memolink's program.
For me, I will shop online anyway, so why not earn points for buying things I'd purchase anyway [and SO WHAT if memolink doesn't offer me 100,000 points per dollar spent; I could purchase directly from the source (Walmart, Target, Best Buy, etc) and receive Z-E-R-O points... see my point?]. Bottom line - everyone's experience will be different.
One great redemption doesn't mean I'm a customer for life, and one mistake doesn't mean I'll tell everyone I know to stay away from them. |
mike us | 10:07pm on April 28th, 2011  | If you don't mind sitting and doing surveys for what equals about a dollar per hour... go for it.
Not to mention how many surveys you will be disqualified after 5 minutes into the survey and you get rewarded to what equals about a penny! |
Dwayne Florida | 8:57pm on March 5th, 2011  | I have been a member of memolink since 2006. Other than delivery delays if a gift card is redeemed within the time frame of a holiday and the occasional hiccup of credit reflected for completion of certain point earning opportunities, they are quite reliable to and for me. |
Peach55 Kentucky | 9:33am on February 22nd, 2011  | I have been a member of Memolink probably since their inception. I also am a member of MyPoints. I like Memolink because their points add up faster, but both have been very reputable. I visit both sights every day. When I shop online I always check if the store is with Memolink. Though I have had to contact customer support for missing points from time to time, they ALWAYS have awarded the points and ALWAYS are very courteous. I have received several rewards from them and have received the rewards through the mail within 7-10 days. MyPoints rewards takes quite a bit longer to receive. Never had a problem with either on getting the rewards though. |
Cheryl Orr Grants Pass, OR | 4:38pm on January 22nd, 2011  | I have been a panelist for several years now and everything was going fine. Got my points and rewards promptly. When there was a problem, it was taken care of quickly. But where I ran into problems was with their Survey Sampling site. I took and qualified for several of their surveys, but never received the points. After several months and several emails back and forth with Memolink, I was politely told that Survey Sampling had a problem with their site and there was nothing they could do. Near as I can tell it was over 10,000 points I lost. |
Anthony NC USA | 12:10am on January 12th, 2011  | I am rating this a ONE because there is no option for a ZERO. This is a scam. They only pay a few people so they occasionally get good ratings so that encourages a few more people to try their site. But trust me, you'll probably be one of the ones who spend a lot of time on their site and shopping through them only to get nothing. They always claim to send you prize, but you don't get it. Trust me, look elsewhere. There are other opportunities out there that is much better and are not scams. |
Richard San Francisco | 3:27pm on October 7th, 2010  | Trust me, Memolink IS a scam. I joined around 2003. Spent months going through hoops to earn points (visiting sites, joining AOL, etc.). When I finally had enough points and tried redeeming them for a $50 Amazon gift card, they came up with some B.S. excuse why it couldn't be fulfilled right away. I went back & forth with them for over a year and to this day have never received my prize. These people are crooks pure & simple. |
WM ARKANASAS | 11:07am on September 22nd, 2010  | i THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM UP UNTIL RECENTLY, A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I CASHED OUT MY $50.00 REWARD CHECK AND NOW THEY WON'T LET ME LOG IN, I HAVE USED THE SAME CODES, NEVER CHANGED THEM. CANNOT LOG INTO MY ACCOUNT ANYMORE. NOR CAN i CHANGE THE E-MAIL ADDRESS. |
Roy Louisville, KY | 11:50pm on July 30th, 2010  | haven't had any issues with them giving me my rewards. my only complaint is that it can be hard to rack up enough points to actually get something. |
J.P LOCATION | 9:40pm on June 8th, 2010 | PEOPLE MEMOLINK DOESNT SHOW U THERE TRUE COLORS I AM GETTING CHARGE DOUBLE N MY BANK ITS GETTING CHARGER 4 CHEAP I NEVER SHOP 4 DONT SHOP IN MEMOLINK THERE SCAMMERS ----MY QUESTION ITS WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THERE NAME CONSTANTLY ---WATCH OUT ---DONT SHOP IN MEMOLINK --THERES NOTHING FREE IN THIS WORLD EVERY ONE ITS TRYING 2 SCREW U |
Andrew WI | 10:14am on April 21st, 2010  | I've been a member for a year now. I mainly use Memolink for shopping and it was really easy to get my $50 gift card. The gift card came fast with no problems. |
Delia TX | 4:34pm on April 14th, 2010  | I used the site for years before I figured out it was all a scam. They banned a lot of users right before we could collect our rewards. :( |
Mariann New Jersey | 5:48pm on April 12th, 2010  | Been a Memolink member forever & have never had a problem. I've gotten some pretty good rewards over the years & I won't shop on-line without it! |
Deb P Towson, Md | 12:41am on April 3rd, 2010  | I am a long time Memolink member and have gotten every reward as promised. Their customer service is always pleasant and helpful. From time to time, they raise the points awards and make earning even quicker. I enjoy the daily trivia question. I earn points for doing the shopping I was going to do anyway. What's not to like! |
Aaron Lincoln, NE | 11:21pm on February 23rd, 2010  | I always look at memolink as getting a little extra from my online shopping. I've received everything reward that I cashed in my points for. And I even won $100 dollars back when they had the memolotto program. Just a little note to users, memolink isn't responsible for the promises of their sponsor sites. I suggest you read the fine print before signing up for any sponsor sites program. The easiest way, for me, was shopping, I never had problems getting my rewards shopping at big name stores such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon.com, WWEshop.com, Dell.com, and Target. If your looking for a work from home, get rich quick site, this is not that kind of site, it's a shopper rewards, survey, and website visiting reward site. If you are looking for a work at home site MOST OF THOSE SITES ARE SCAMS! Their is no way out of hard work, those who work less just a smarter and more educated a bout their field of business. (unless your born rich or win the lottery!) |
cb KS | 10:42pm on February 18th, 2010  | I really enjoyed Memolink, sent off for 2 $25 gift cards and got them within a month at the most. However, this was in their early years when I first signed up. Years later I sent for a $100 gift card. When it didn't come within a month (even though they showed it as having been shipped), I emailed them about it. Their response was quite polite and they said they would immediately resend it. That was a year and a half ago and I have yet to receive anything. I've become EXTREMELY disappointed in Memolink due to this fiasco, which is too bad because I used to really enjoy being a member in the early years. But it's really turned off my interest in them since and I wouldn't recommend the site to anyone anymore. |
Rick Indiana | 1:38pm on February 2nd, 2010  | I have been a member of memolink for 5+ years and mypoints for close to 10 years. Both are reputable. I have always received my rewards from both. If you do the surveys every day and actually qualify to take them the memolink points add up very quickly. Memolink is NOT email based like Mypoints, it is survey/shopping based. You have to go to the website every day and go to the surveys section to get your points every day. Memolink points will not pile up from email!!! I also signed up for Netflicks, Blockbuster and shop thru memolink, things I was going to do anyway and the points add up quickly - UNLIKE mypoints! |
christina new york | 7:15pm on October 2nd, 2009  | i LOVE MEMOLINK, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY YEARS I HAVE BEEN A MEMBER 8 MAYBE, AND I HAVE GOTTEN EVERY GIFT CARD I WAS TO GET TO DATE, FAST AND EASY! |
