Their gimmick for earning points is for you to buy products from or sign up with their sponsors (for a fee) that will bombard you with spam! The more lavish the purchase the greater number of points awarded (in theory).

I joined MyPoints when they were new. At first, they weren't bad. Then, I started noticing they were shorting me. They used to offer points for clicking on things but those opportunities grew few and far between.

This company is notorious for NOT crediting its members with the points they earn and their customer service department is unresponsive. A couple of friends and I stopped doing business with them when we became aware or their unprincipled practices.

I have been a member of My Points for over a year and Love this program. You can simply click on your E-Mail and earn 5 points even if you dont want to sign up for the offer. it may take some time to get up enough points that way but I have already received gift cards for one of favorite stores.

I have been a member of My Points for over a year now and I cashed in my points for a 25 dollar Target gift card and I received it within 4 weeks.

I have been a member of mypoints since January of 2000. First started off by just opening emails and cashing my points in for gift cards at the most twice a year. Now I have a credit card through them and do all of my online shopping through their site. During chrismas of 07 I recieved over 100 dolllars in gift cards from them just by using their site. I had nothing but rave reviews about this site and company up until 2 months ago. My account has been frozen and email after email I have sent have all gone unanswered for the past two months. They even asked me to send them a copy of my lience to make sure it was me with the ccount. I understand the whole idenitity thing, but just be careful.

MyPoints is a decent site for rebates on your online shopping, but considering this is Survey Police, there is no way I can recommend the site for surveys. Surveys are standard length (15-20 minutes) and are worth 50 points. A $10 Wal-Mart gift card has now inflated to 1,550 points. You do the math.

MyPoints is such a great site!! The incentives are FANTASTIC!! You gain points by either shopping through their site (which I have done several times, no problem) and by checking your emails. Once in a while, they'll send 50 point surveys, but I never qualify for them. (Oh well!)

They send you your gift card REALLY FAST after you request, and points build quickly!!

I recommend this site to all of my friends and family. I love it!!

If you sign up for offers through MyPoints, like newsletters, and whatever else they offer, the points grow rather quickly. 5 points for opening a paid email and 25 = for newsletters etc....

50 points for those long OTX surveys, which I don't complete too often. 10 points if you disqualify. I've cashed out about a dozen times though. I've even won a few of thier monthly point sweeps. I love those $10 Walmart gift cards... Who wouldn't?

This site is primary a reward site for purchasing products from retailers through their portal. If you purchase things online you can get significant rewards depending on how much you spend. Points can also be earned for clicking on emails, signing up for offers and even taking surveys. Points can be redeemed for gift certificates and other items.

Surveys are a small part of the points opportunities. If you view this site as a survey site you will be disappointed. Interested applicants should go look at the opportunities and take it for what it is.

I have been a member for 8 years or so and would recommend it for what it is, but if you want a primarily survey site, look elsewhere.

If you register with them, every day you'll receive their email saying that there's a survey that can earn you big... but to receive the big points you need to register or by what their "sponsored" companies have to offer.

The whole survey scheme is just to be legally authorized to spam you EVERY DAY!!! You'll receive their emails full of publicity and trying to you to buy from them... and if you dont, they'll say that you have a survey - which you have to buy from and/or registered with the sponsored companies- If you dont, you'll only receive the 5-10 points (which you receive right away - compared to waiting a month if you register/buy with the companies-) but even the 5-10, sometimes I didnt receive them!!!

THIS COMPANY IS A NOT GOOD AT ALL!!! DONT REGISTER WITH THEM COZ YOU'LL LOSE YOUR TIME LIKE I DID!!!
SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND THE PITA (PAIN IN THE @SS) THAT YOU'LL GET IF YOU REGISTER WITH THEM!!!

you get points for clicking the emails, doing surveys, you even get points for surveys you don't qualify for.

their gpt offers don't pay much, I recommend you do some more research before signing up to do gpt on mypoints, but the PTR emails and occasional surveys do add up for some Christmas money.

Be careful with surveys, if you end up doing a very long survey and only getting 50 points, that is only 25 cents, you can earn more points on other "daily survey" interface portals as a side item to some gpt sites like cashcrate, treasuretrooper, inboxdollars, or sendearnings. I think you can still do the mypoints surveys if you do the daily surveys through the daily survey portal, but 25 cents for a very long survey you could probably fill out for another company and earn 5$ is something to avoid, usually I just don't qualify and get a very, very quick 10 points (about 5 cents)

there is some info on better gpts, also surveys and secret shopping on my myspace.
