I've been a MyPoints member for going on ten years (gasp!).  Believe me, they've really improved over the years.  The customer service, at least for me, has improved tremendously (although I really wish they wouldn't use those computer-generated initial response emails!  Let a human really *read* what's written, before replying, so they don't waste my time!)  The connection time to the shopping sites has gotten much better...so, if you tried MyPoints a few years ago, and ditched it because of that...give it another shot!

 I live on a Navy base overseas, so I pretty much have to shop online (very limited resources here)...so I try to maximize what I can.  The only thing I would warn about, is taking any of the MyPoints surveys...I did that once, and seemed to get a lot more spam for about a month after that.  I don't respond to those any more!

I sent for 2 gift cards around the 15th of Dec. and got them 4 days later, I was impressed. They have been good too me as well. Ron

I save up my points for vacation time...generally use them on meal cards (Olive Garden!). This time I included a Walgreen's card, since we always stop in there for all the 'junk' for the long drive. They were exceptionally quick getting them out to me (two weeks after redeeming...a record, I think!) I'm sorry others have had issues.....I've had my own, in the earlier days.
