Best use of MyPoints?

for me, the best cash out is a safeway gift card to help take some of the sting out of buying groceries when we go to Maui.
 
I pull up the point cost for the cards that I would use - and usually order whichever one I will use with the least amount of points. We usually get a $50 for Landry's (Rainforest, T-Rex, or any of their other restaurants). It's still one cheapest options as far as points go.

Same here. I just did this the other day. I found the gift cards I'd use and found the best points deal. For me it was Olive Garden (and I think you can use it for Red Lobster too) gc.
 

I'm another one for the Landry's gift card! it gives us a lot of options and we can use it at home or on vacation. I had started by getting Walgreen's gift cards and using them to buy a Disney gift card, but it's less points for the Landry's card.
 
It's not the best use of points in terms of value per point, but I use them for WalMart cards. We stop at WalMart to grocery shop for the week before checking in, and that covers a lot of the cost for us. The restaurant ones are probably a better value, but WalMart is something we need.
 
I did a quick look at what's available to redeem for today. These would be my choices and what they cost:

I'm leaning toward either the Target GCs (to pay for prescriptions for my dog since you don't get a discount with the Target Red Card) or the Amazon GCs (because I spend a lot on there anyway) or the CVS GCs. I already have enough Landry's cards for now and the cash redemptions are a little too high.
 
I usually get the Landry's card (can also be used at Yak & Yeti in AK) or a Gap/Old Navy card. They are the best deal per point and we actually use them - I shop off season at Gap/ON and get DD cute stuff for when we go on vacation.

We shop Amazon all the time but get a better point per dollar deal (for their $5 cards) from Swagbucks.
 
I guess I should be buying more online. I'm still saving up points to get my first gift card.

I'm not finding many surveys lately to increase my points.

I don't count on the surveys, I just click on the emails and do searches through their toolbar. Whenever I buy anything online I check with MP to see if they do points, if not I check Swagbucks or Ebates. They add up! :thumbsup2
 
I get the Rainforest gift cards for Disney trips but we are going on a cruise in march and driving so I got a Cracker Barrel G/C! My family loves eating at CB on road trips!:rotfl:
 
Are the Landry's cards good at Yak N Yeti take out counter?

I believe they are not allowed at the CS, just the TS. Not 100% sure since we used it at the TS but I remember reading something to that effect.
 
I'm sorry. I'm pretty new to this board. What kind of points? How do you earn them?
There are several reward sites that give out points or money for clicking on emails, ding surveys, making online purchases through them etc. My Points is one of them. if you have any questions about them you can PM me :thumbsup2
