mypoints?

[cheesekate2005]

Hello everyone! I am trying to make a buck for upcoming trips! I saw that my points has gift cards for Rainforest Cafe/Landy's and some other handy places. How does mypoints work? Is it pretty simple and easy to get points? I have about one year until my next trip - some gift cards to RFC or Trex would be great! Thanks for any info.

I'm sure you could have at least one gift card a year from now-I cash out for them to use as presents for my SIL and BIL. Once you sign up, you click on emails or you can also get points by shopping (like ebay, magazines.com, etc).

I haven't been doing it very long but the main way I get points is by reading their emails and clicking on the sites. You get 5 points each time you do this, and they send maybe 5-10 e-mails per week.

You can also sign up for offers and shop online to get points. I haven't done either of those.

I would say that in a year you should be able to get enough points just by reading their emails.

That sounds good!

I've been using MyPoints for years. It's a very easy program to do compared to most of them. Basically you read emails and click on the special inside of them and earn points. You can also earn points shopping at TONS of online places you probably shop anyway. There's also points for signing up for newsletters and joining things but I tend to avoid those myself.

It does take a long time to earn rewards unless you do a lot of online shopping (I don't), but as it's so easy I don't really mind this.

Do you think that mypoints sends you all kinds of viruses as I have heard other programs do (when you click on their emails)?

I have been doing mypoints for a couple of months and I have not gotten any viruses. Just make sure you have some type of spyware installed on your computer just as a precaution.

I do My Points just for my Bzz rewards and click on e-mails. In a year - I can get a $25 RF GC; maybe two.

I use Sunshine Rewards for my real earnings for WDW. They have three surveys you can try everyday, freebie offers and shopping links for cash back. I'm working on cashing out for a $500 Disney GC. I'm at about $430 and we don't go again until next May. It has been a little over a year since I cashed out, so that's not bad earnings.​

I believe I have been doing mypoints for over ten years now and have never noticed any problems. I LOVE THEM!

It looks like I should check into sunshine rewards too! What kind of gift card rewards do they give?

I do Mypoints. I just click on the emails, do the frogpond, and get bzz points. I have cashed out for a 25.00 RFC card,

I do bzz agent too and I get mypoints points through them...I also do surveys there AND I really like the "coupon feature" they have. If you print grocery coupons from mypoints and use them when you shop, you get points.

Last year, I got $75 in gift cards from them. I've been saving all my points now for a while- I'll get RFC card or two and a few others...

I've never had a problem with Mypoints, no junk on my computer at all.

 

[disneysmiles]

that is a really good idea with the RFC gift card. I've been doing my points for 2 years and I have enough for a 75 dollar gift card to some places. I just open the emails, I rarely buy stuff through their stores online.

 

[kimntrent]

I do mypoints for the emails only. I get a 5 gift card about twice a year. I do my real stuff like shopping and offers at Sunshine. I cash out there when I hit $100 for either disney gift cards or paypal cash. I do it about every other month. Ask for a referral for both. If you wanna know more my blog is chattywonen.com/valleyview for my lenthy take on sunshine.
