MyPoints, MyPoints, and More MyPoints

[crazytimes]

Well I just had to comment on MyPoints.


BonusMail:
1. I remember they used to ALWAYS have a "Yes" and a "No" button, and you would get 10 points for clicking each. For the past few months it seemed like you could ONLY click "Yes". Now my lastest BonusMail had YES AND NO, and the Yes was uppped to 15 and the No was only worth 5 points.

Also, lately a lot of my Bonusmail links have not been working. I get a LOT of "This page cannot be found...."

Has anyone else had this problem??

MaxTriangle:

Whatever this thing is, I like it! I got 25 points for clicking it, and that's better than the 10 point Daily Tours, although it sounds like you will have to "hunt" for the little guy.


All in all I think MyPoints is still fine. They are just trying new options for things, and frankly I have 1500 points and have not BOUGHT A SINGLE THING. ALL my points were gained SOLEY by freebies, so I think it is worth it.

Let me know what YOU think!

I cashed out as much as possible before june 1.
The lousy 10 point daily tour was not worth refreshing my key for every day. So I let the e-mail come in then when I got a few, every few days I'd refresh my key and do them.

Now this foating guy..for 5 points forget it but for 25 that's definately worth refreshing my key for.

I miss the older point earning oppurtunities like MyWay, Talk City and just lately Salon Savvy All those get 100 points for registering links were great.. I am sure miss those gas cards that came rolling in timly.

But I guess we can only do what they offer and after all it's summer and I don't want to spend all day clicking anyway..

I have to agree with the fact that i was able to cash out .. last week after only doing this a month and got a 10.00 chillis g.c. .... not too shaby for only clicking on links did not buy anything through them so .. i cannot complain ... and i think it is one of the best rewards programs out there now

I have heard other stories that milesource does has not been giving jumbo jet points out .. and memolink .. people still waiting to get their g.c. from last year

my points ... ordered the g.c. and it came within 3 days

[luckyme123]

OHH.. well now MyPoints has been known to mess up too.
I waited once 9 weeks for a gas card.
And once I waited 6 weeks for a gas card.
Once they sent the wrong brand of gas card.
Every point earning program meses up sometimes.

But once, and only once, I received my gas card in 4 days.

My "normal average" since I have been doing it is 3 weeks for cards that are snail mailed and 10 days to 2 weeks for electronic webcertificates to arrive..

I ordered the Sony Video certificate, got that within 3 days.

Also ordered the $10 Target GC, and $5 Blockbuster GC and got those within a week.

MyPoints has the best prizes too, and they are more reliable than most!

I can not believe how much bonus mail I have been getting the past 10 days...everyday I get over 10 pieces of mypoints mail. I have never had a problem getting the gift cards rewards either, usually come the same week I cash out for them!

MyPoints is the only reward program I'm even bothering with anymore. I've cashed out several times..the most recent for a $50.00 gc from Target which arrived within 2 weeks. I figure if they want to make some changes, so be it, I'll stick with them.

[Brendabutt]

I've never had any problems with mypoints. This week I ordered another $50.00 gc to JC Penny and my daughter ordered a $25.00 gc to JC Penny. I will have $525.00 to penny's once we get these. DH is going to have a great Christmas this year. Customer Service has always responded quickly and the gc have always been sent on time. I love mypoints.

[MurrayGiggles]

I like MyPoints. I just cashed out for a $10 GC to JCPenney's.

I've only had one problem...My mom signed up as a referral under me and she appears on my Share your Rewards page but no points were added. I've emailed them extensively and even did planet feedback...still no answer. Anyone got any ideas? Or their phone number, maybe I can clear it up there.

[luckyme123]

Two phone numbers for MyPoints.

1-888-262-4528

[MurrayGiggles]

Thank You, Luckyme123! I'll call them Monday and I'll post my results.

[luckyme123]

I must tell you that anytime I have had to call them, I have found MP CSR's on the phone to be very nice and extrememly helpful.

I did get credit for Max @ 25 points yesterday but today he was 5.....and I had 4 B-Mails in my email and got credit for none (so far), probably a problem-AGAIN! same with the husbands account. As far as I can tell it has not changed to much.

[crazytimes]

sligg - same thing about the BonusMail. Mine never shop up when they say...it's always about a week later.

Also, the bonusmails say I have 1478 points, but when I go to the MyPoints website it says I have 1578.

Sometimes they have problems with the point totals, or there is just a lag in their system, but I always get credited.

One thing - I wish they would get more visit website offers, and I wish they had some Try It Out's that were free and no credit card.

Oh well, I mean I am still getting stuff!!

sligg - I have the same problem! I emailed them and they sent me back a generic response that had absolutely nothing to do with my question - it was something about remember to refresh your member key!
Anyways, I sent them a SECOND email - this one not so nice! We'll see what happens..half the time I don't think they read through the entire questions.
