MyPoints.com is a rewards site where you earn points for going online and doing things you would normally do: shop, read emails, play games. In addition you offered the chance to take surveys, click sponsored links, or participate in trial offers for extra points.
These types of reward sites pay very little, generally because they are not asking much effort from their members. My Points works on a system where you are awarded a set number of points for performing various activities. These points translate loosely into cash, with 5 points equaling $0.035.
While MyPoints does not pay their members out in cash, you are able to redeem your points in the form of gift cards to various restaurants or stores.
Most customers report being very happy with the service at MyPoints, saying that they routinely receive their gift cards in a timely manner. However, some customers report that in order to earn more quickly and efficiently, MyPoints members should set their sites on shopping, especially when purchasing big ticket items, because that will increase your point totals the fastest.
The only complaints appeared to be from members who say that as MyPoints grows in membership, they feel that there has been a drag on their account recognizing some of their point earning and giving them appropriate credit for their activities.
With this in mind, if you join MyPoints make sure to keep track of your own points and earnings and to call customer service if you feel there is an discrepancies in your account.
a. Excuse #1 - need to live in US or Canada (I have lived in US all my life)
b. Excuse #2 - They need a valid ID to stay compliant (sent that over)
C. Excuse #3 - IP address did not match their record
And they never responded and I lost all the earned points. They were bought out by another company last April so they are scamming everyone now!
And they completely deleted my account. Shame on you MyPoints.
