MailBling - another paid email program, with a difference

MailBling is another program that pays you to receive email, similar to Hits4Pay, InBoxDollars, and PaidEmail.com mentioned here before, with the following differences:
  • You must sign up for a free online email account. The emails that cause you to earn money are sent there. You should log into that email account every day. Although this may seem to be inconvenient, this is not a forwarding address. So emails do not clutter up your regular email address. Also, SPAM filters won't stop mailings from MailBling, since they use their own email system to receive the mailings. (Perhaps this is why it was set up this way.)
  • The signup bonus is $4. (They say this expires May 15,2004, but I received it for signing up in June)
  • Payment per email read is a more generous $.05 to $5.00.
  • You are paid an unspecified amount for simply logging into your email account every day, but I can't find how much. I have $0.81 after 3 or 4 logins.
  • They say that you can expect email every day.
  • Payment for referrals is a generous $1 per primary referral, $0.50 per referral by persons you refer, and $0.25 per referral they make, and $.10 per referral by persons they make. This 4 deep referral system is particularly nice for webmasters and folks with lots of friends, which is why I hope you join using one of the above links. (This would give me referral credit at no cost to you.) Please be sure that my referrer's ID number 10010685 shows up in the appropriate box.
  • You make no money if a member you referred to this program earns money.
  • Money is automatically paid to you by check 45 days after you earn at least $20. No fee for the payment.
Once you sign up:
  • You must then sign up for an email account.
  • After doing that, log into that account and read your first email to find the next instructions.
  • After doing that, log into the email account to find your second email, giving you more instructions.
  • Be sure to check all boxes showing interests.
  • You have to wait a day or so to receive your referral URL that you would send to others you refer or that you would post on your website. The email in my MailBling account that first gave me my URL was titled "MailBling.com -- You Won A Free Gift". Strange. Maybe they put that URL on all mailings from them.

Since I went to the effort of posting the information here, please use my link to sign up. http://www.mailbling.com?=10010685. Thanks.

Problems with Mailbling

I signed up for mailbling on June 29th. Still have not received any info on my referral url. After 24 hours, I sent an email about the lack of a referral url and received the following reply: "You will receive your referral url in your stats. You should have your
stats within 24 hours of registeration." I have never received "my stats." I have received a lot of emails in this account. Also, I received a message stating that I had not responded to their confirmation email, when I had responded, at least twice!!
I had hoped to post the mailbling conga here, but since I'm having so much trouble (and since I have no referral url), I'm quite dubious about this offer.
Of course, maybe their inability to correctly spell "registration" should have been a clue...

Whoops!

My bad. I still never got an official notice of my url, but after my last post, I scrolled to the bottom of one of the mailbling emails, and there were my stats! Usually, I just click on the link in the body of the email. Anyway, guess, they aren't so bad (even if they don't have spell check!). Still, you would think they would make sort of a big deal about telling you your referral url.

Is it proper procedure to post my referral url or should all be made through pgary since this is not a conga?

On all emails specifically addressed from "MailBling.com" there should be somewhere in the message a listing of your referral link. Mine says

You MailBling.com referral URL is:

http://www.mailbling.com?=10010685

That link does not appear on the third party mailings.

By the way, it seems that you do get credit for opening those third party mailings. Not sure if you get credit for clicking on the links within those mailings, but it doesn't hurt to do that.

The question of a Conga or not is an interesting one. In those cases where there are a very limited number of referrals available (like 1, for example), a Conga makes sense. But otherwise, when someone goes to the effort of fully describing the program, I always ignore the Conga and use the link of the person who did the work for us. (Then I don't join the Conga, of couse.) Seem fairer that way.

Some orginal posters of programs that started a Conga have received mega secondary rewards as a result of my policy, since my referral URL goes on my website. Motivation to post new stuff, folks.

They paid me!

Today I received checks from both MailBling and PaidEmail.com, and discovered that they are both run by the same company. Hits4Pay has paid me twice.

I have updated info and written a comparitive analysis of the programs (also including InBoxDollars.com) on the Miles or Money for Clicking page of my website, Free Frequent Flyer Miles

I signed up for this yesterday(before being SPAM enabled), and now I can't remember if I used Tmpy's or Pgary's referral. I'm going to guess Tmpy as he was last in the list. Sorry.

My referral is http://www.mailbling.com?=10014163

Thanks

I guess you guys disagree with me. Interesting. Are you motivating people to investigate and post detailed info on this kind of thing?
