A method for providing secure and efficient link expiration that includes determining an email address for a member that a link is to be sent; generating a link by encrypting the member's email address; determining an expiration date for the link; and applying a scaling factor to the expiration date. The method also includes combining the expiration date with the link; sending an email message to the member's email address, with the email message including the link embedded therein; taking the member to a web site after receiving data corresponding to selection of the embedded link by the member; determining if the link has expired based on the expiration date with the reduced memory requirement; decrypting the link if it is determined that the link has not expired; and determining if the link is valid.
