Alternatives to Blink.com

Now that Blink's history, you may be looking for a replacement. I have a couple of suggestions:

1. Spidermanemails - they send maybe 10 emails a day, worth 1/4c each, and usually have about 1c of daily PTCs (site visits). One of their daily emails is a search link where you can earn 1/2c PER SEARCH with unlimited (as far as I know) searches. Payout's $2. And these guys don't do points -- just cash.

2. Z-Cash - Some days no mail, one day recently as many as 15. The value of the mails varies...some 1/2c, some 1c. Some of these mails expire fairly quickly, so don't let them gather dust in your inbox! About 1c daily in PTCs. Payout is $3, and this program is all cash (no points) also. Please click here to join.

3. Cashforaction - 1c minimum payout, and I'd say 4 or 5 mails a day on average...not all that many. Like Z-cash, these mails don't last long, so click them as soon as you get them! They send cash and points mails; points convert automatically to cash after month end. No PTCs, but you can also earn cash for signups (to a spam address if you want). I've been paid by them. I've earned around $1.50 since my last payout in September. Please click here to join.

4. Netsreward - Sister site to Cashforaction and set up the same. I think the earnings may be a little slower on this site (than CFA). I've earned about $1.15 since my cashout last month. Please click here to join.

I'm a member of about 30 paid-mail programs, and these 4 best meet my criteria for keepers: no points or points convert to cash automatically, low payouts, reliable (have been around a while), and not an overwhelming amount of emails sent out. I know there are other programs sending out 5c emails, but with such high payout amounts, who knows if they'll be around when it's time to cash out?

I welcome your comments!
