MyPoints Site Down

[perfectmatch300]

Just went to the MyPoints site to email them about the days I have not been credited proprely this week, and the site was down. It did not work when I tried to respond to my emails either. There is a message saying the site is down for maintenence, but no indication of how long it will take.
I wonder what this means?

With all the problems we are having with rewards sites lately, it is making me nervous. I just cashed out of my account about 2 wks ago, but the 2 other members of my family who do MyPoints didn't have enough to cash out yet.

I wonder if this has any connection with the buyout of MyPoints by United Airlines that LI Debbie posted about earlier this week?

I hope they are back soon. I really like MyPoints.

Mypoints sometimes goes out of service for a day or two-this usually happens on the weekends, but they do get it fixed pretty quickly.

It's also possible that they are tweeking the site to reflect the new owership by United-probably going to offer some kind of reward related to that airline-offers for free flights or dollars off fares.

Even when mypoint's stock was in the gutter, they were pretty good about sending out GCs. I think the new owership and the influx of money to mypoints can only make it strong and hopefully better.

Hope you're right Debbie.

The site is back up and seems to be working okay now.
