I really love My Points. I have earned enough for a 3rd payout within a year. You don't earn cash but rather points and the points you earn you can redeem for gift cards which come to you very promptly. Some of the gift cards include iTunes( which I have enough now for a $25 one), Home Depot, Lowe's, Outback steakhouse, Amazon.com. Jc penneys, Subway and many many more. The points are very easy to get, you can shop through their site and earn points, it is safe and secure. I used recently to shop and no problems. I do not shop much on line but if someone does they can earn quite a bit. They also send you ads, you open or click on bottom and receive 5 points or more per each. You can get several per day and they add up quickly. Another way to earn points is sometimes they will send you a survey opportunity and you can earn extra points this way and also for referring people.

I have tested it but have nothing helpful to me. I were continued with my point for at least 6 months but my point was around 300 but as far as I know to get a gift card I need to have 1400 points that was so far to me. Yeah they send surveys very often complete and get 50-150 points but unfortunatley I never a single survey which is available for my country or area. I understood that I need at lest two years to get my first gift card from my point thats a long time to me. I have worked at a forum for two weeks and get 15$ as payout within next week. So why my point?

I joined MyPoints not that long ago. A few months ago. I only do the ones that come to my email. I have around 900 points right now. I don't put much effort into it, but even doing just the emails for 5 points each I should at least get a gift card in the next few months.

One of my favorite websites is myPoints! I've been a member since 1998. I usually earn points from their surveys or their emails. Sometimes I will buy some items. That helps you earn points. They offer points through various shops and one of my favorites is eBay. They give you 2 points per dollar spent on eBay. That helps because I buy a lot of items from time to time on there. Cheers!

I have only been a MyPoints member since June of 2008, but I have already redeemed close to $400 in gift cards. Lots of the points I earned were through BzzAgent. I used MyPoints to get several Christmas gifts this year, as well as buying my son a backpack and lunchbox at LL Bean for FREE at the beginning of the school year! I love MyPoints!

Wow sounds like you have been doing several of the offers and/or shopping alot through their site. Do you have alot of referrals? Congratulations, that is awesome. I do not know what BzzAgent is. I just signed up directly through MyPoints. Sounds like it works great for you. Thank you for responding.

BzzAgent is a word-of-mouth campaign site. You create a profile with them, and you are chosen by demographic desirability to participate in a word-of-mouth campaign on that particular product or service. Part of the benefit of this includes receiving free merchandise (I've gotten stuff including free boxes of Barilla pasta, free bath and shower products and a $200 oral care sanitizer). You report on the BzzAgent site about who you talked to regarding the products in the campaign, and in exchange for those reports, you are rewarded with MyPoints. Pretty cool! If anyone would like a referral to BzzAgent, please add me as a friend and PM me.

As you know I have been a member for a long time and it has truly come in handy in those early years when I wasn't working on a regular basis and didn't have much money to shop or go out.

It is so easy to participate in My Points and doesn't take much time and even the surveys aren't that long either. It's like getting a bonus 2 or 3 times a year or more. Thank you for responding!

I don't know how you got 3 payouts within a year! I got 900 point about 5 years ago and then lost my username and password so I had to start all over again! Haha. I have had my current account for about 3 years and I only have about 700 points. I don't have the money to shop and earn points and most of the surveys I don't qualify for! I spent half an hour filling out one and in the end I just got the 10 points for trying. I was really disapointed. I would really like to refer people, but I don't think anyone wants to send me their email address so that I can refer them. They need a link or banner/link way to do it, because people are usually more comfortable signing up like that. How much is payout exactly anyhow? I thought it was 1000 points or more, is this correct?

I just thought of something, is it possible the emails they send you are going to a junk folder and you are not receiving?

I did happen to find one of their emails in my spam folder. I was like 'how did this get here!' I imagine I would have gotten a lot more from them over the years but probably a good half of the messages were in my spam folder. So, I'm going to half to dig through there and see what I can find. What good is a spam folder if they send good stuff there! Uggg.

I love mypoints. I have been with them over five years. I have earned numerous gift cards. I usually pick the Red Lobster/Olive Garden $50 gift card (2 $25 cards). That way hubby and I go out and get a nice dinner. I've also redeemed points for Barnes and Noble and other retail outlets. I really love mypoints.

Good for you having a night on the town. It is definitely nice not to have to cook. It is so easy to earn the points on this site and for me its like cash. I can find something out of the many gift cards they offer. The last two times I got the Home Depot cards and did some home improvement. Thank you so much for the response.

Yes, I'm a member of My points threw Bzzagent. I earn my points by reviewing a product and submitting reports. In Nov. I had turned in my points and I had gotten a Target gift card. It didn't take as long as they said it would to receive it. I had used it on some Christmas gifts. I do receive emails from them but I usually trash them. I guess I start opening them to get more points.

Yes I agree, once you request your gift card it comes very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes I wait up to 8 weeks for some of my checks to arrive from certain survey companies. Though I am glad to receive, it is frustrating to wait so long for them so it was a pleasant surprise the first time I redeemed from My Points and the gift cards arrived so soon. I really like all the choices we have as well. Thank you so much for the response. Good luck with my points.

That is great idea. I have planned to that for the next Christmas after I get my iTunes card I will save up all year so I can get a good gift card for my son or hubby. Thank you so much for the response.

I'm trying to figure out which is better MyPoints or Memolink. Memolink gives you more points when you shop but the rewards are more points. MyPoints only has $50 Amazon gift cards now. I only use these sites for cash and amazon gift cards. I have cashed once at each but I'm closer to a 2nd cash out with Memolink. I think this is due to completing more free offers on the site. I usually only make 5 points on the emails MyPoints send me.

I have not heard of Memolink but will check it out, sounds interesting. Do they send emails for points like My Points do? If they have referrals send me your link in PM and if I like I will sign up with your link. Good Luck to you with both programs
