Been a member for many years.

I really like My Points Survey Site

Pros:
lots of surveys, daily
lots of different ways of earning points
lots of opportunity for earning bonus points
fast and receptive customer service
Very good FB page

Cons:
There is really only 1 con, although it's kind of a big one.

Sometimes surveys don't work like they are supposed to.
After spending quite a bit of time on them (20 to 30 min), you either get nothing or only 5 disqualification points, even though you answered very specific questions about very specific products.

This makes it feel like the company who has their survey on the My Points platform is not only scamming us but, My Points, as well.

Sometimes, particularly if you take screenshots, My Points customer service will give you the points if you put in a 'ticket' explaining what happened. Most of the time they've done this for me, but twice, they haven't.

So, even though I will continue using them (I collect points fast - about $5 a week in Amazon gift cards, they do have some issue with the quality of some of the surveys on their platform

But, as I mentioned in the Pro section, there are many ways of earning points and getting bonus points so even if you waste some time on the odd survey, you will most likely make up the points with other surveys.

Closed my account two days after redemption for my first reward. Similar comments made regarding this on other sites and here.

deactivated my account

June 19, 2021 by Raquel from United States

without warning and it wasn't doing anything wrong on surveys. I completed a record amount this week

Repeated Account Deactivation

June 10, 2021 by Kevin from United States

My account was deactivated 3 times in a week. The first 2 times, I was reactivated. The last time, I was left deactivated. They never told me what I did wrong, and instead told me to "follow the terms of service". I never used VPNs, bots, multiple accounts, or anything else. All I did was watch videos on the "watch" portion. I even asked customer support about what the problem was, and they didn't say anything.

Drivers license

June 3, 2021 by Kelly from United States

Reckless account deactivation. Representative from company asked for drivers license to verify who I was. I was not going to give it so I did not respond. A couple days later they responded again and reopened my account even though I never gave them the required documents. I used the site for the next few days before it was deactivated again. Will never recommend this site
