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 redeam... read full review »

2003 was glorious for me as it was the year I bought a personal computer for my own home and also retired (which meant I had plenty of time to use the p.c., sometimes until the wee small hours of the morning).  It wasn't long before I had discovered the thrill of online shopping and in due turn stumbled onto MyPoints.com

MyPoints.com is a portal site, which means that you check in there first to gain access to merchants' online retail sites.  You earn so many points for each dollar spent and occasionally there are special bonus point promotions on certain purchases.  A MyPoints member also...

Want to earn rewards for doing practically nothing? You could get involved in politics, but there is another option that takes even less of your time and can be conducted completely from the comfort of home. It's a web service called Mypoints.com and it awards points for reading e-mail. Let's take a closer look at this online e-mail reading service:

Web Site Commentary:

Mypoints.com is all about earning points and then redeeming these points for gift cards and other reward items. The most common way to earn points is simply by reading e-mail sent to your inbox each day from Mypoints.com and clicking...

My Points is an online shopping site that actually rewards you, the consumer, by shopping with their online affiliates.  Each member is awarded points for doing things you already do online such as online shopping, browsing, playing games, taking surveys, and even reading email!  Points are accumulated and redeemed whenever you choose for various gift certificates for online stores or local businesses.  It's your choice!

The Site

My Points has a very easy format and it is easy to use.  You first must register for an account.  Then you will see a "MyHome" link, Shop link and a Rewards link. ...

I stumbled across MyPoints.com in July 2007 and since that time, I have spent $0 and received 4 gift cards for Target (one of my fav. shops!). MyPoints works on a point value system, so if you're not interested in shopping online to earn points, you have the option of just reading emails and doing occasional surveys. And recently added features I love is the printable manu. coupons and the MyPoints toolbar, both of which help really rack up your point value. I strongly suggest everyone to check this site out for themselves. And please use my email addy as your referral, that way we both earn more... 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!!

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 secret!

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 points... 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 lot of stores where you can earn from 2 points to 5 points per dollar spent...

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 and... 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. mascara, eyeshadow, eyemakeup...

I get Saturdays to myself, and some week nights, but usually just saturdays. I check my emails and see that BonusMailReply has sent me more stuff about MYPOINTS. I open it. I read it, I click it, I love it! I love earning points, I love saving them up, love looking at what I can change them for...it's great. And they send me coupons for groceries...I saved $75 last week! I can't wait to go shopping!

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 don't have to...
