Anyone use mPoints/mPlaces apps?

Off to WDW bright and early tomorrow morning (6am flight --argh). Good luck getting your check-ins this week!

So jealous!!! Have a great trip! Let us know if you can check into places in Disney World :rotfl2:

Anyone else having issues with the app this morning? Mine wasn't working right and finally it just went down completely and now there's a message that says they're done for unscheduled maintenance. I'm not planning on going out soon to check in anywhere, but I have some prize boxes to open.

I've not had any issues this morning. I just checked it and it seems to be working here (N Calif).

I have a question about the apps you can download. I've just been skipping all of those, but wondered what others do? Do you download them, get the points and then delete them?
 
Mine is down too (in Indiana). I just downloaded it a couple days ago and still trying to get the hang of it. Thanks for all the tips :thanks:
 


Got up this morning to go to Starbucks, which is next to major shopping plaZa. The site has been down all day. I had 23 gift boxes to claim!!!
 
Did the site come back up for you guys? Mine was fine all day and I learned a few more things (like if you check in on ATT, TMobile or Sprint, you will actually get double or more check-in points if you click on the ad that comes up). I have about 7000 pts now, which is 3 days' worth. I don't know whether or not that's good, but I figure I'm over halfway to a $5 Starbuck's card :D
 
Mine finally came back up about 8 this evening (EST) and I was able to clear out about 23 reward boxes I had. No check ins today though! Oh well.

I don't download any of them, doesn't really seem worth it. Maybe if I was getting a little desperate. I do click through for websites to check out special offers though. So far no issues with anything crediting.
 


I got an email this morning that I'd gotten the 1000 pts for my Subway receipt :) Still waiting to hear about SBs and BK.
 
Anyone else lose the challenges on the mplace app? They don't appear on mine any longer and when I collect my presents I only get coins no treasure hunt trinkets.

Got one for McDonald's but not my Starbucks. I re-read the fine print and it stated first 1,000 to submit.

Yes, my challenge is also gone! I got 2 challenges complete before they all disappeared.
 
That's weird about the challenges. I haven't gotten any new ones since I completed the others but I don't know how it works. It's odd that they would just disappear--I remember the Time Warp Challenge (I think it was that one) said I had a month to complete it.

I studied it a little more today and found that sometimes the bigger coin payouts aren't actually as good a deal as those a little smaller. For instance, I can make more with a 30-coin T-Mobile check-in than with a 50-coin Starbucks because I now know that the electronics/cell phone places almost always give you an additional earning opportunity for clicking on the ad, usually about 30 coins, whereas Starbucks and Burger King etc don't.

ETA: I doubt I'll be getting anything for my SB's receipt! I suspect there were lots of submissions for that one.
 
Wonder if Mpoints/Mplace read these boards.
My challenge is back and my Starbucks receipt was submitted. Hope to be able to cash out by the end of this week!
I have planned my route for today. Checking in at the cellar shops and fast food. Happy Check in, today!
 
I had one challenge maybe involving a dinosaur or something? Does that sound familiar to anyone? That went away. I completed the time warp challenge on Friday though. Hopefully I'll get the Starbucks points! If not, no big deal, but I don't eat a lot of fast food so I doubt I'd have a receipt for there.
 
I do not know if M places points are area specific.

Here in NYC until this morning Duane Reade (drug store) gave 150 points.

It is now changed to 10. Sprint gives only 10 points here.

The other high point that I can see are :

SUBWAY Restaurants, McDonald's and Starbucks that give 50 points.

If anybody has more information I am thanking in advance.
 
I am in the south. The major fast food chains have been giving 50pts check in. Yesterday I ran across a 100pt check in at a wireless. The major drugstores down here were 30 but with bonus ad videos for points.
 
Where I am in CA it's similar, with fast food places usually giving 50 pts. Most wireless places give 30 or more + bonus ads, WalMart is 40 or something like that, Old Navy 45 + bonus ads, Best Buy 40 or 50 + ad bonus. I too have noticed that it might be high one day and 10 pts the next (Sprint went from 85 to 50 to 30 to 10). Starbucks initially gave 50 near me but nothing now, but other SBs still give 50. Subway is 50.

Does anyone know if the color makes a difference in the little prize packages? I don't exactly understand those things. I guess it's just another way to get a bonus.
 
My 100pt check in was Cricket wireless. t mobile was 40 or 50 I believe.

So I am 2000 shy of first cash out. How long does it usually take for gift cards to process.
 
It usually takes 3 business days to process.
Here Cricket is only 30. None higher than 50.
I miss Duane Reade 150 points.
