My points.com failed me

October 12, 2019 by Susan from United States

When I tried to redeem the earned points on my points.com I did get far as I was told my account has been hacked. Really? None of my other accounts was hacked. Just the mypoints.com. They returned my points to redeem again. One time kindness/privilege. Submitted my points again and never received a them, or any confirmation of them. Now no response at all. It was for $125. I don’t know who received the ecards I was supposed to get. Wish them hell!

RIPE OFF! WORST EVER

October 5, 2019 by maleyanne from Canada

This site is absolutely the worst! They deactivate your account for no reason and when you ask them why, they say from compliance reasons. ok but compliance of what? I get no further answer. Im sure that thats how they make money. When they see you have a lot of points. They will close your account without any reasons and they can cash it in. WORST SITE EVER!! DO NOT RECOMMEND

GAVE NO REWARD

October 3, 2019 by Evelyn from United States

i HAVE 4000 POINTS AND TRIED TO GET $25 SENT TO MY PAY PAL ACCOUNT IT WOULD NOT PROCESS MY REQUEST. I WROTE SEVERAL NOTICES TO THE COMPANY IT IS NOW DAY 3 AND STILL NO REPLY OR RESOLVE TO MY SITUATION. THEY USED TO BE GOOD BUT NOT ANYMORE I SUGGEST STAY AWAY AND FIND ANOTHER SITE

Downhill Fast

September 14, 2019 by Tammi from United States

I have been a member of MyPoints almost since the start. It used to give you great rewards that cost fewer points, and I loved the paid emails. Over the years, it has cost more and more points for the same reward. Since Swagbucks bought them out, there are very few paid emails and they are pushy on signing up for offers. At this rate I may not have enough points to cash out again in my lifetime.

No claim codes/ignore me

September 9, 2019 by Mary from United States

I've been a member for years and enjoy the site and all the stuff you can do and the layout is great, BUT recently when I cash out, I'm supposed to get a gift card claim code in my email and I do not receive anything. Happened once a few months ago and I had to send a ticket in but they sent me a code to redeem pretty quickly and has recently happened yet again... no response from them yet and it's been a month. This really shouldnt be an issue and it's upsetting because i no longer want to go do stuff there... and yes, I've checked my spam mail and also try to resend a code over and over and nothing. I'd give this site 5 stars if it was not for this issue.

March 2019... Welp, customer service ignored my tickets the last time I tried to cash out. Even though I'm cashing out for a low amount giftcard, they simply do not respond or help. I gave them another chance and went for another card and ended up sending another ticket. They simply dont respond to me.This is really a shame, loved this site for years.

Update... yeah, I'm done. They don't respond, gave them a second chance and NOTHING. This is such a shame, really loved this site. I'm fuming that they cant get in touch with me and get me the giftcards ive earned!!! I wouldn't join this site.

Update-9/19..they fixed the issue and I am awarded instantly. Happy.
