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.

They have cut back on point values for some things but that just means it takes longer to reach the daily max and I gain more bonus points. As long as I can keep averaging about 2200 points a day I'll stick around. This keeps me on my pace for 1 gift card a month assuming I miss a day or two ot dont max out every day. That's 300 bucks a year in free money.
I've contacted them about this issue and have not heard anything from them yet. Usually someone gets back to me in a somewhat timely manner.. however not this time. I see as the economy worsens the worse every company gets about being honest and ethical. It's the old stall and then play dumb as long as I can.. until you make enough noise that I have no choice but to honor your payout routine or do what is right. I'm about done with all unethical companies. If you can't afford or are to greedy to payout when you rightfully should, then you need to go out of business and have done with it.
Screw you Mpoints! And you have nerve to keep sending me emails.
