Sony Dreamlinks program
Was just reading on of my many emails from Freelotto and had an offer to join a new program from Sony called DreamLinks. https://www.dreamlink.sony.com/default2.aspx
I clicked and started to read the terms and conditions and just laughed. They charge $10 per year, and you only have three months from the end of the month that you earn the points to redeem them. Their privacy policy is almost none, unless you tell them other wise. They only deliver to the 48 contiguous states, sorry Alaska and Hawaii.
I can't find anywhere where it tells if points are per dollar or a flat amount per purchase. You will earn 10 points for clicks. I am wondering what everyone else thinks about this program.

It's horrible. We got signed up (free) through Erewards. They send annoying emails constantly to which it is IMPOSSIBLE to unsubscribe. If anyone knows a secret way to unsubscribe, please post it here. Only alternative seems to be change email addresses.

I unsubscribed by discontinuing my membership. Next e-mail you receive, check the fine print at the bottom, you get instructions on how to do this.
You're right, the program is horrible. The rewards are that you get a small discount on Sony CD's and DVD's which you can find much cheaper elsewhere.

Just an update - it seems clicking ramdonly on the e-mails gets you quite a few points, and they recently sent me a $20 off any purchase coupon on top. Latest deals were MIB or Stuart Little DVD's for $7.19 each.
I picked up a Sony digital recorder through this deal for $115 that I saw in FRA this weekend for 299 - although I expect Staples would have it for $149 or less on on the right day.
Don't know if I'd pay any more attention to it, but worked for me. You can have free membership if you do it right, also.
Oh, and a few months ago, they had last minute concert tickets in the NY area. I forget who - but it was a big name, I guess.
