APR

2008

I have used MyPoints for about 10 years.  Their point allowances have decreased and redemption requirements have increased over the years, but I have earned enough gift cards over the years to be worthwhile.  It's worth getting into the habit of checking their partner sites first when shopping for something specific.

Installing their toolbar earns points in itself and continuously displays your point balance;  using it to search earns points every time, and having it sitting right up there above the browser reminds me to check their partners when I'm shopping.

It does seem like it sometimes takes unnecessarily long for your points to post.  All that said, I have gotten many free gift cards for clicking on websites and for shopping through them for things I was looking for anyway.

My pleasure! I think they credit your points from searching once a month. Bet you're happy that Spring is breaking through - I lived way up North for many years and know about those 5+months of winter! Enjoy the daffodils! Linda

I didn't know about the toolbar thing. Thanks for the tip!

I have been a member of MyPoints for a few years, and I agree with your assesment of the service. I have been using the site a lot more of late since we are increasingly making our purchases on-line. Good review. Vncent
