Joined today, answered their questions for the profile, then started some of the shorter surveys and on many they wrote I did not qualify for this or that survey, without any explanation as to why. Then I ventured into a 15-minute survey. Keep in mind that I value time more than any asset I have. I answered all questions as truthfully as I could, except for two or three that I felt intruded quite a bit into my privacy and were not related to beer consumption. Mind you, when they asked what I purchase as beverages, I answered only wine, yet (because they don't pay attention), they threw me into a beer survey. Really sophisticated system! After I spent over ten minutes of my time answering their questions, on the last question they wrote again I did not qualify for that survey and I earned 5 points instead of the originally set points, which were around 100. So listen here, idiots, if I tell you that I earn a relatively high income but I tell you twice that I choose wine that is under $20 a bottle, that only means that my financial priorities are different from those of most people in this country, who prefer to buy liabilities with no value rather than money making assets. You don't waste my time to tell me I did not qualify for your dumb survey at the very end of that survey when you actually got my answers. This is disrespectful and unprofessional at best. Time is my most valuable asset as I can never get it back, and the reason why I am very successful financially is because I don't waste my time. You are not worth my time. You are not truthful with the way you treat people who answer your survey questions by undermining them at the end and paying them just 5 pints instead of the promised 100. How convenient, isn't it? In all honesty, you are not worth my time, but I wanted others to know this, too.

I've been a member of MyPoints since 1999. Two weeks ago I noticed I'd been signed out of my account so I signed back in as I was an avid user of the site. It told me my email/pw were incorrect (which I knew was not correct). I tried to reset my pw, but the "enter" button was dead. I've emailed for two weeks now with no intelligent life replying. I went to their FB page and I am BLOCKED as there is NO WAY to reply to anything on their site. This is INTENTIONAL> All you businesses beware! MyPoints is keeping your money earned from us shoppers and are not following through on their promises to us the users. Pull all your collaborations with MyPoints as they are NO LONGER TRUSTWORTHY.

I too have been a long time MyPoints participant - since 4/17/2007. When I cashed in some legitimately earned points last week (3/2017), MyPoints team stated that I needed to email in a copy of a government ID because I used a business IP when accessing the site. First of all, only a moron will email any kind of ID through unsecure email. 2nd, they are stating that accessing MyPoints from a non-residential IP requires additional NON-INDUSTRY STANDARD verification of a physical governmental issued ID card. That is quite ridiculous and quite an overkill for suspected fraud of a $10 Walmart ecard. Their request is by no means typical and actually quite brazen. Photo ID really?!?!... like they would recognize me! Actual email transaction copied below:

"Thank you for writing in regarding your Rewards approval.

As a standard procedure, our Compliance team is requesting your account to be verified by government issued ID. You can provide us with an attachment of a picture of your ID showing Country/State, Name and Birthdate. You can cover or block out any sensitive information on your ID, as long as we can see your picture, country/state, ​ name and date of birth. The photocopy will be stored on our secure system and be accessible only to our Compliance Department. We will promptly delete the photo after we review it.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Member Care Team

We apologize for the the misunderstanding. Please rest assured we are not requesting this information to scam or cheat our members. Our system has detected a non-residential IP and we will need to verify you as the account holder. This verification is to ensure the security of our members and the MyPoints community. We understand your privacy is very important to you and we agree. Your points and pending prizes will remain here if in the event you decide to cooperate with the verification. We apologize for this one-time inconvenience.
Member Care Team"

If this is how they treat their long-time followers over a $10 reward redemption, I'm promptly closing my account. STAY AWAY! They've gone shady and over-the-top unscrupulous.

Do not waste your time with MyPoints. I am a long time a member and one day I click on their survey email that took me to their surveys. I clicked on one like normal and asked me for the normal birth date. Entered my birthday as usual and suddenly I get a message stating I am entering inconsistent data and I am locked out. This is totally not true - same data I have entered in the past years. Member service was of no help. I do know in the last few months Mypoints had revamped the surveys and also had HUGE issues during the past few months so I am guessing incompetence has finally won over. Surveys are a Huge part of Mypoints so without them I will be closing my account. A waste of time now.

No Customer Service! Two months ago, MyPoints deducted almost 1600 points from my account without reason or explanations. Two days ago, they deactivated my account without reason or explanation. I have made three requests for assistance from Customer Service without response. You would think MyPoints would value the loyalty of a customer in full compliance with their TOS for 18 years - evidently not. Another points company that used to be good, once upon a time, that no longer values the customers whose online activity brings them profit. MyPoints has forgotten the golden rule of retail: MyPoints exists because of the customers it serves - the customers do not exist because of MyPoints.
