I won 50,000 points on MyPoints

[chocovrdmicears]

Just wanted to share! 2 weeks ago I entered the daily free Zen Gems competition on MyPoints/WorldWinner. I actually had the high score on one of the daily contests! I went in and claimed my 50,000 winning prize...I was waiting to see if I would actually get the points, and sure enough they were credited to my MyPoints account today!

oh my god that is awsome. I haven't been on my points for a while do they still have this contest

wow that is awesome! I always wondered if people actually won those big point prizes. What are you going to do with all the points now?

I think each week it is a different game. Some weeks it is 50,000 points for the high score. Some weeks it is a $10 Amazon gift card for the top 5.

That is so awesome!!!

I would get Walgreens gift certificates with them and then use them to buy Disney gift cards there. I think you could $350 in Walgreens GC!!

or maybe i would get GC to have to eat out here and there or for gifts....

or maybe....

OH THE POSSIBILITIES!! CONGRATS!!!

I have absolutely NO idea! Usually I earn enough for a $25 or $50 Landry's gift card for our trips...No way am I using all of them for that! lol!

I have heard reports that you can! I would call your Walgreens and verify - you know how each Walgreens can differ!!

Congrats!! That's awesome! Enjoy it!

I'm glad a diser won!! LOL I, too, wondered if "real" people ever won those things!

Congratulations.

However, a warning. If the value of the prize is $600 or more there is s strong probability that you may receive a 1099-MISC in early 2011 reporting the award as taxable income.

Thanks for the info!. Unfortunately the MyPoints *conversion* rate wouldn't amount to be more than $600. I guess in terms of taxable income that would be a good thing.

Congratulations! I love to hear that people actually win these contests. My points is my favorite rewards site. It takes awhile to build up enough points for gift cards, but it's so easy to just open up all their emails and get credit. Unlike a lot of survey companies that make you take pre qualifying surveys, only to deny you after several minutes!
