The MyPoints Survey Zone is part of the MyPoints site. They offer surveys to take which will increase your points faster than the emails to view a site do. However , there some issues to note. As none of the surveys are their own (all are through other survey companies) , all too often things do not go as expected. After clicking in the link , you will go to Company A who sends you to Company B , and so on. I have seen cases where you ended up doing a survey several companies out. If all worked as it should , whether you DQ or not , you should return to the MyPoints site for credit. Not so!! all too often , the return path stops at one of the companies along the path and no credit is received.

Another problem that will be encountered is where you get sent to Global Test Market for a survey. After completing the survey , you are sent to another survey to do. I have seen that go on for 6 surveys straight before returning to get credit , generally after a DQ. Not good. It should be one survey per link clicked.

One other survey issue is that there are some surveys through a company where they start by asking a bunch of questions which then brings up a green backed block screen stating that they have found a survey for you. The problem is that , at least with my account on MyPoints , clicking on that link ends immediately with a screen stating that you were rejected for either answering too fast or not matching your profile (huh??). Contacting MyPoints support gets nowhere , even with screen shots.

One plus - their customer service does respond , usually within 48 hours.

I have been a member for a long time and I've had no problems redeeming points for ecards. However, I saved my points for a paypal account and now they will not allow me to redeem my points.

I've been a member of mypoints for over 10 years now. The vast majority of your shopping purchases (after you click through their website), are NOT tracked or counted, and therefore not rewarded as promised. The only retailer they are pretty consistent about rewarding you for is Walmart. So unless you only shop at Walmart, don't waste your time and use a different site.

I have been a member for over 9 years. They were great until recently. They have flagged me and stop me from earning points watching videos. They have gone downhill. So now I just spend the time I use to spend on them on inbox dollars! Their tv video is pretty good.

I C/O about once or twice a year--for $10.00. Not a big money-maker, but they don't cheat you out of earnings & pay fairly quickly (you do have to wait till the surveys ''Clear'', but not very long...unlike a few others!).
