Points

[Daxx]

What kind of points/rewards do you collect ... mypoints, e-rewards, coke rewards, pepsi points, Betty Crocker points, etc.?

What have you turned in your points for? Any big-ticket items?

I have a bunch of mypoints saved up and am not sure how to use them ... Target, Barnes & Noble or Starbucks gift cards. Decisions, decisions ...!

I love MyPoints. I've used mine for GC to Circuit City and bought my self a computer monitor and camera and just recently we needed a new stove so I redeemed my points for Lowes GC. We do the Coke Rewards too but have only redeemed those for movie tickets.

The only sort I've ever collected are DIS infraction points.

MyPoints here also. I've used them to get Rain Forest Cafe gift cards when we have a vacation planned. Right now, I think I might use the ones I have for gas station gift cards.

I should collect My Coke Rewards points, but I don't, even though I drink a lot of Coke products. I sort of collect Disney Movie Rewards points, but they got rid of a lot of the items I was interested in, so now it's more of a half-hearted collection. I also used to collect virtual "tickets" for playing games on http://club.live.com, but they took away all the prizes except frequent flyer miles on that, so that's a half-hearted collection, as well.

Let's not go there ... I don't want this thread to get locked for some kind of misunderstanding and feeling that I have an "ulterior motive" to starting this thread.

Now THAT is a great idea!!!!!

 

[OK!]

I never really bothered with collecting any Pepsi Stuff points, which is insane, considering the amount of Diet Pepsi I drink. Inspired by this thread, I just went through the bag of stuff to be recycled and now have 28 of them.

I did the Coke points until they said I'd received too much free stuff and couldn't get anymore.

I do the Stouffer's code thingy.

I've collected a shamefully high amout of Disney points for my Visa. Must spend less.

I also have a collection of DIS points.

I get the Disney reward points. I also have the royal caribbean card for my cruises which gets points. I also have a bunch of clothing reward cards that I rarely use (Eddie Bauer, American Eagle, etc.) I have a Vitamin World too.

I love MyPoints. I've gotten several $50 gift cards from there.

I also belong to Nielson Consumer Panel and you get points for telling them about all the stuff you buy. I got a Nintendo DS for DD's Christmas this past year from them

I also belong to a few other survey panels and get small checks from time to time ($10-30) and some of them let you choose gifts instead of cash. I've gotten a CD holder for my sunvisor, a reading light, DVDs, CDs, books, etc. It's fun - but I do prefer cash!

I do MyCokeRewards and Disney Movie Rewards, but I really haven't gotten much from either. I originally started the coke ones when there were cool Disney prizes, but as soon as I accumulated enough they were gone, so now I'm just sitting on points and adding to them. On the DMR, I redeemed points for virtual prizes in VMK and now that's down the tubes, so my virtual points haven't done me a whole lot of good. What's MyPoints?

 

[Kathi OD]

I belong to MyPoints and use it to get gift cards, mostly from Target.

Other than my Amex points, that's the only thing I get points from.

So far I have been lucky and not been the recipient of the unwanted Dis points.

It's a rewards program where they send you emails, you click on them and get points for (supposedly) reading them. Only...I just click on them and don't actually read most of them...

I've been saving the coke points for awhile. Finally cashed them in for some gold AMC tickets. It's nice to see movies for free.

Also, Verizon does a points deal for businesses. I work at a small company doing the office work. My boss said if I could have the rewards since he doesn't do online stuff. I got a Starbucks giftcard about 8 months ago. Now that times are tougher, I traded my points for an Exxon giftcard. Although 25 bucks of gas isn't going that far.

That's what I was thinking when I opened up this thread.

I just started collecting Pepsi points. I should have started a long time ago because I drink a LOT of diet pepsi. Yesterday I ordered a Pepsi logo belt buckle for my son (50 points) and my daughter loves the music downloads. I'm going to miss it when it's over.

 

[debbi801]

I do My Points also. I've been doing it since the late 90's. Curiousity just got the best of me... If I'd never cashed in any points, I'd have 46,542 points.

Primarily, I use the points for extra gifts--like B&N or Target gift cards for the kids, Starbucks for DH, etc. We've also gotten Rain Forest Cafe girft cards from there and used them in WDW.

Oh, I totally forgot about this. I collected these too, for many years. My DD and I loved our "home theater" sets. Now, it's pointless.

Me too. I thought we were going to tell what ours were for. Innuendo gets me almost every time.

Tell me it ain't so...Daxx you don't have an ulterior motive?
