I am so mad!!!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com 3 years ago

I finally reached another payout amount on MyPoints and went in to redeem my points for my usual Walmart gift card. They no longer offer Walmart gift cards. I have cashed out more then 7 times at MyPoints and have ALWAYS gotten Walmart gift cards. It's pretty much the ONLY place that I shop because I used to work there and my husband is a manager there now. I have NO interest in any of the other gift cards that they're offering. This WAS my favorite site to use. Now I don't know what to do. Should I stop using the site or should I just keep earning points until I find something that interests me confused ? angry I'm so upset because I was looking forward to the gift card to help buy Christmas gifts for my 3 kids. Now, I have to find some other way to buy them gifts too cry. ARGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

hi
i know... sometimes I feel the same way. I never use Mypoints... but I used to use that site to exchange my points to some other gift card. I hate when this happened. why dont you treat it to something else and then cash it back out? or keep it for the large amount and it might be good


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

I'm gonna keep using the site but I'm not going to cash out until they have something that is worth it to me. I truly only shop at Walmart so that's what I really wanted. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what they get next time. Thanks.

i love love love that site. I have gotten so many gift cards from there! i don't shop walmart cause they don't have any here in NYC... but if i was you, i would still use the mypoints site. why don't you cash out for a toys r us card instead. it's a great site and a wonderful way to earn free gift cards. i so would not stop using it only because they don't have walmart any more.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

I just checked and they don't even have a Toys R us gift card available right now. I'll keep using it but I still won't be happy until they have something that I'll use. I was gonna do a Borders card but it's WAY too many points. I wanted to cash out now for Christmas. I only have about 1600 points available right now and everything that I would consider is a lot more then that. I'm so sadcry

Hopefully MyPoints will have them again soon. Sometimes I think they don't show up if MyPoints has run out of a particular merchants gift cards. I'd check back from time to time to see if WalMart reappears. Or, you can just e-mail MyPoints Admin and ask about it. I'm sure they will let you know why.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

I emailed them and they said they just aren't offering them at this time. No real reason but I'll keep my eyes open for them. I've always gotten them every time I've cashed out. I've been a member there for over a year and cashed out 7-8 times. I'll keep using them and hope for something good. Thanks.

I just was in there the other day and noticed same thing, I was so upset because I planned on using those points for a couple of movies for the kids stocking. I am like you and not really sure what other gift card i would want to go with now that walmart is gone. I would just continue with mypoints because these gift cards are still nice to get and you never know they may bring the walmart cards back. I wish there would of been a notice explaining that they were going to take them walmart cards away. I am just going to continue to build up my points and have been going to the sites that are offered and see what site I might like better to cash in my points with.....


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

Good idea. I think I'm gonna do the same and hope for the best. Good luck to us both!

Wow. That surprises me. I got a Walmart gift card just a few months ago. But yes you're right, they aren't offering Walmart gift cards anymore. I went to the website too. Would you have been able to get the gift card to your house before Christmas anyway? Can any of the gifts you want be purchased at Walgreens or Kmart? I know Walgreens has a limited inventory, but they have plenty of toys. I don't have a Kmart near me, but maybe you do?


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

We don't have Walgreens or K-mart by us. I was gonna do Toys R Us but they don't even have them anymore. I just got a Walmart card last month. It usually only takes about a week or 2 for me to receive them so yes, I would have had it in time for Christmas. I even thought of getting something that I don't really want and using for a gift to someone else but I see nothing that anyone on my list would use. I'm so bummed.

That really sux... I would hate that too. I use Walmart a lot too, but I also use Target. I wouldn't be interested in anything other than those two... not even KMart.. because we don't have one near us.. I can appreciate your frustration. Depending on the kinds of gift cards you can get.. would determine if I stayed there or not.. if you got Amazon vouchers or something like that might work for you... hope you can spend your points somehow.happy


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

Thanks. I even considered Target but they aren't available either and our Target is an hour away. We don't have a Kmart either. I'm gonna keep using the site and hope that they soon get something that I'd use.

WHAT??????? We gotta team up and storm mypoints until they give us back the Walmart gift cards. I, too, only cashed out my points for the Walmart cards cause it's most convenient place and cheapest for me to shop. When I'm ready to cash out, I'm gonna have to browse and see what else they have to offer. You sure you can't buy from somewhere else for your kids using your points? LLBean for instance?


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

No place close by that doesn't have outrageous prices. I don't like shopping online either. I emailed them about how angry and disappointed I was. They didn't seem to care. Thanks.

I noticed that just the other day as well. I am about 15 points shy of getting a $25 Target card, so I guess that is what I will cash mine out for. I have only ever cashed out my points there once before and I got a Walmart card then.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lilybug (16949)  3 years ago

Well, Target is not on there anymore either. I had to break down and get a Kmart gift card for $25.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

I would do Kmart but we don't have one near us. No Toys R Us cards either.cry

Won't they also send you a check? You might find a good deal at one of the other places too. You could make up a play gift card and give it to them.Then when you get the money give it to them. If My Points stopped offering gift cards from them it must be for some good reason and another store must give them a better deal. You might check into that fascet of this. Better deals elsewhere that is.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

Nope, no checks. I have searched everywhere in my area for cheaper prices and it just doesn't exist. We get a discount there too because hubby works there so then we really don't find any better deals then Walmart. I thought about Toys R Us but they don't have cards for them either. Then Target even though they are an hour away but they don't offer then now either. Kmart? Nope, we don't have one close to us either. I'll just keep adding to my points and wait and see what they offer later. Thanks.


myLot reputation of 98/100. celticeagle (15764)  3 years ago

It would make me wonder why they stopped doing the Walmart gift cards.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

They're backhappy! I guess they just ran outconfused.

Hey camomom I am pretty new here.So I might not be the best person to give you any sort of advice.But just to clear my doubt,cant we just cash out instead of opting for a gift card.I think they both are of the same worth or are they not.


myLot reputation of 85/100. camomom (3575)   ranked 2 out of 64 in mypoints.com  3 years ago

Not at MyPoints you can't. You can only opt for a gift card.
