Does anyone still have a Mypoints Mastercard?

[Debi]

I've had a Mypoints Mastercard since August 2000, and have never had a problem with the points being posted to my Mypoints account. I registered for the e-mail alerts, so I'm sent an e-mail when the billing period has closed and when my payment has been received. For the last year and a half, the points have been posted to my account the same day that the e-mail notification has been sent out.

However, I got my e-mail notice last night about the billing period ending, and my balance due. When I went to Mypoints to check my balance, the points hadn't been credited. This is the first time since I've had the card that the points haven't been credited the same day that the billing period closed. With all the talk of Nextcard not doing well financially, I'm concerned that my points won't be credited to my Mypoints account. Am I panicked over nothing, or should I wait a few das?

Debi,
I have the card. I was credited with my points this month, no problem. I don't get the automatic notification though. It has always seemed that some months MyPoints is quicker to post the points than others. I'd be interested in knowing other experiences with this card. I, too, have been concerned that it may soon be a thing of the past. And this is about the only way I earn points.

I just checked my Mypoints account, and the points were credited tonight. Hooray! I am really close to cashing out for a Webcert, so I should be able to do it next month. I love that credit card!

Do they still issue MyPoints Credit Cards? I have looked on the site but never found a place to register for one.

Thanks!

Carole, I was looking for the same info and here is what I found on the FAQ page:


How do I apply for a MyPoints MasterCard?
MyPoints is currently evaluating our credit card offerings, and at this time the MyPoints MasterCard is not available. Stay tuned for news about new financial product selections coming in the future.

I have the credit card and always have trouble getting the points credited. I am still waiting for february points--have already sent about ten emails--sometimes i get a reply with some lame excuse and sometimes my message is ignored. I am probably going to cancel it since it is not worth the hassle to keep begging for the points.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having such problems. Nextcard has been having a lot of financial problems, so maybe that is the cause. My points credited approximately 24 hours after the billing cycle ended, and I was surprised with that (it is usually immediate). I love that card, and hope it doesn't go bankrupt.

Maybe they read this cuz they just notified me they were going to add the points to my account--LOL!!
