For anyone that already uses MyPoints, how many points do you need to receive gift cards and in what denomination do they give them out? I've never used it before. I'm just wondering if they only give you the opportunity to earn, say, 5 points a month and it takes 5,000 to redeem it for anything. Any info would be much appreciated!
I have been a member for years- since 98 I think? The trick to getting the most points is to sign up for as many "categories" as you can to get emails about. To earn the points in an email just click the box for more info, let the pop-up page/ad load, close it. Voila, 5 points. Also tip- if there is a NO box (no I am not interested)- click that one too and you usually get points for both! :lol:
See my post above- I don't shop much through them but still get over $100 worth of gift cards each year. If you don't mind taking surveys their points for surveys add up really fast. I used to do a lot of surveys but am so burned out by ones that offer "contest entries" for a 15-min survey or one survey a month for 100 points and it takes 5000 points to get a $5 gc or a plastic trinket :roll:
GC's start at $5 increments for about 750 points and you can also get FF miles, hotel rewards, donate to charity, even earn towards travel certificates and such. If you get 100 to sign up, fill out your profile is another 60 I think, read your emails and click them all, take a few surveys, you will prob get to your first GC in about two months. Sounds like a long time, but your investment is less than 10 minutes a week and sometimes you run across some killer deals. You get used to getting and doing the emails, checking the site, etc and they rack up quickly!
Anyone can go to the site and sign up, if you wish any of us already registered will be glad to refer you. We can get a one-time bonus of points, that's it, and if you don't want to do that NP just use and enjoy the site!
