Reviews Up
I finally got off my duff and wrote up reviews of LuckyPoints and PCHPoints. They are basically identical except (unless I'm somehow missing them) LuckyPoints doesn't send daily emails. They both have the same point values (the same cost in points to purchase an identical $ value GC). They both require 5,000 min. points to redeem. And they're both (gulp) run by Memolink.

They're not *run by* Memolink. Memolink just provides their software. They have assured us (various members of the rewards program community who emailed them about this when the programs began) that they are funded and run by their own companies (e.g., PCH points is Publisher's Clearinghouse) and will pay promptly.

I can definitely appreciate those folks wanting to distance themselves from Memolink's management...However, this is from LuckyPoints' Terms of Service: "LuckyPoints is managed and serviced exclusively by Memolink, Inc. and all transactions while participating in the LuckyPoints program are between the participant and Memolink." All transactions are between the participants and ML...there doesn't seem to be any wiggle room there. ML operates their reward program.
I'm curious to hear from anyone who has redeemed at PCHP or LP. Have you gotten a reward from them yet? I'd like to hear from you! It appears the only folks who are getting ML rewards in a timely manner are those who are cashing in for Amazon. It'll be interesting to see if PCHP and LP are different.
(Sorry if I seem cynical, Jennifer!! I do appreciate you sharing the info, but man, do I distrust Memolink!!)

For the 2 minutes or less a day that it takes to do each one I'd say they're worth the gamble, at least for awhile.
As far as the emails go, I've gotten a couple of paid ones from Lucky Points but not nearly as often as PCH points sends them out.
