MyPoints Review

I've been a member for years and love MyPoints! No, it is not something that you are going to earn a ton of points on if you don't buy online. I've done a couple years where I've hard bought anything online, but I still earn enough points reading the emails and going to the websites to get a couple gift certificates every year. I think MyPoints is best for those of us who already to a lot of shopping online. I was looking for a cell phone last year and found the MyPoints cell phone area. Got a regular contract with Cingular, a brand new Razr phone for free (with free shipping), and earned 1,000 points. Why not earn points for things I would have bought online anyway? That's how I look at it. And even if I do only get a $25 gift card one year because I didn't shop much, that's still just $25 for doing nothing but looking at email and websites - again, something I do anyway. :)

I just joined a couple of months ago, too. It does seem like ALOT of work, looking up and they just want you to buy something. Or the "free" offer is that you get 2 or 3 free things but they charge you unless you cancel in time. MyPoints in the long-term will probably be better than the survey sites I've seen, though. The survey sites are a huge waste of time. Good luck.

I rarely buy anything from the e-mails they have sent me and I have enough points at the end of every year that I don't have to spend money on Christmas gifts for my family and friends. I think it just takes a bit more time and you'll get used to it and start earning more.

I have been a member for a long time - just do the emails once every couple of weeks and a few offers. Just got a $25 Barnes and Noble GC
