I first joined www.mypoints.com about six and a half years ago and have been shopping through mypoints ever since. MyPoints has allowed me to be able to take surveys online, get great deals on my online purchases and earn lots of points for doing what I normally do online. I have been able to… read full review »

Well I just got my first free gift from MyPoints today.  It was a $10.00 gift card for Bed, Bath & Beyond, and I got it without making any purchases through MyPoints.  I'm still waiting however, on another $10.00 gift card for Panera Bread, and after I receive it I'll come back and upgrade my review. — Part II of my review:  — I'm pleased to report that my $10.00 Panera Bread gift card arrived today, so I'm upgrading my review as I promised!  Thanks MyPoints!! —… read full review »

ive been a member with mypoints for a couple of months. needless to say my points have not accumalated very fast. this site has alot of good websites for shopping but who wants to have to spend money all the time just to earn points to win prizes. i can just take the money that im spending to make the points and buy what i would win by earning the points. thats how i look at it. i enjoy doing shopping but not to just earn points from a website.i look into the prizes they have and the points you need to earn these gift cards ect. are high1 how much shopping do you have to do to get enough… read full review »

I love MyPoints! I use it all the time and tend to try to buy from merchants that can be found on MyPoints. I initially was doubtful but decided that it didn't hurt to try. When I redeemed some points for a target giftcard, I got it so quickly! I expected to get it in weeks or months, but within 2 weeks it was in my mailbox. I would love to share this with all my friends but I'm selfish and love it as my little… read full review »

    I have been with Mypoints for going on 5 years now and although it can be slow earning points it can be worthwhile. I have not made any purchases through Mypoints but I do click on all the emails I get. — —     How it works — —     You fill out a little questionnaire about your likes and shopping habits and they gear emails towards that. You get 5 points for 90% of them and some are worth 10 points. They will also send you survey links and those can be worth 20 points to upwards of 200 points or more. They also have a… read full review »

I got into Mypoints through my mom. And I love it. I check it every day. It is so easy to earn points. There are three ways to earn points on there. First they send you emails and all you have to do is visit the site that they send you in the email to get five points. The other is to fill out surveys on Mypoints itself. The other is to go to Mypoints, find the website you most love shopping on and click it through mypoints. You get points for amounts you spend and extra points and savings from going through mypoints. You can then redeem the points for free stuff and gift cards. It is great… read full review »

I have been a user of MyPoints for many years, and I have to say I absolutely love it! Who doesn't love free gift certificates for making purchases? They offer lots of chances to earn free points as well; which is a nice bonus. — — The best deal, in my opinion, has to be using Mypoints to purchase items from Lancome. I love their makeup! When I shop through Mypoints I get 2,500 (with specials through their email signups) for purchases over $50.00. That is almost the equivalent of a $25.00 gift card! PLUS Lancome offers free shipping, and they always have free bonuses (ie.… read full review »

About 6 months ago, a friend told me about MyPoints in passing. We were out shopping, and she pulled out a $25 giftcard to Old Navy or the like and said that this was her reward for online shopping. I thought she meant that she had redeemed credit card rewards. I was wrong. It sounded easy enough - shop online, get points, take surveys, and open ads. Easy enough. —  I mean, I spend at least 40 hours online with work, not to mention a crazy life with two young kids almost forces me to shop solely on the internet (mall shopping has long been a luxury!). What do you have to lose? You… read full review »

This is the second time MyPoints has attempted to refuse an award am due. I attended a seminar for a reward of 3550 points and am still fighting them weeks later to get wat I earned. I have concrete proof I fulfilled my end of the deal, and they are still ignoring my requests with generic emails that indicate they do not even read the emails they are sent. — — I went to Hawaii in December also and had to fight them for those points as well. I booked my trip thru them. The deal was 10 points per dollar and they tried to award me 210 points for a deal worth over 5000. Anytime I… read full review »

There is nothing new I can add about Mypoints.com that hasn't already been said; so I'll just say that because I was on a tight budget this year for my Christmas shopping, thanks to Mypoints.com I have not had to spend much.  — — Over the past year, I have accumulated enough points to order lots of gift cards, which have been coming in the mail sooner than I expected.  I haven't calculated the exact total, but I believe that I have saved approximately $200 so far by shopping with the gift cards I redeemed on Mypoints.com. — — This is a very good program;… read full review »

I have been a MyPoints member since 1998 and have enjoyed participating in a variety of ways. MyPoints is free to join, and the benefits are great. You can earn points in several ways and save them up for lots of different awards. — — You can earn points for visiting advertiser's websites, completing surveys, completing offers, shopping. Sometimes MyPoints will also allow you to earn points for other things from time to time, and the points can really add up quickly. — — Of course shopping is the easiest way to earn points quickly and easily.

My points is the best way to get free points and trade them in for free gift cards.  I started out with them so i could get gift cards for Red Lobster, because we could not afford to go other wise.  Then I started saving for Sears gift cards, last year I gave my husband $150.00 in sears gift cards from my points.  Do you get them over night?  NO!  But all you have to do is read email, submit reviews, perhaps buy something you were going to get elsewhere.  I love to read, so I joined Doubleday book club, not only did I get a great deal with them, (better than I… read full review »
