Redeeming points with Mypoints

[Southern4sure]

Has anyone redeemed points for RainForest Cafe? I want to do this and get 2 $25 RFC giftcards. I went to the site but I cannot figure out how to do this for 2 at one time. I only see how to redeeme one at a time. Help!!

I got some Red Lobster ones a couple of weeks ago. I got 3, and had to do them all separately. It only took a couple minutes,and they were in my mailbox in about 5 days.

That was my next question...did they come together or seperate. Thanks for responding. Now I will go redeeme my points.

I redeemed for 4 Wal Mart cards on Friday and they came in 4 separate envelopes yesterday.

I redeemed for WalMart and they arrived REALLY fast! I was surprised.

where are you guys redeeming them? i'm going to mypoints.com to the redeem section and it says that some are temporarily out of stock, and doesn't have any listed for a lot of the stores.

I just looked, and the only one saying out of stock are Bloomingdale's, JC Penney and 2 of the Toys R Us ones. Did you click on the All Merchants under Redeem Categories?

I just redeemed for RFC on Friday too and received mine yesterday. Hubby also redeemed over the weekend for RFC. Nothing received yet, but it's only Wednesday, so maybe today. I also just redeemed more points this morning for Brinker.

lol thanks Strailover, I realized I wasn't signed in and that's why nothing was showing up I think.

Did anyone redeem for WebCertificates and receive them since the new site has been up?

Webcertificates were not on the new redeem list for awhile and just returned to the list around last week. I redeemed on Tuesday, September 20th for 4 - $25 Webcerts ($100 worth).

I'm not very worried...since it's only been about a week....just curious to know if anyone has received a WebCertificate redemption since they returned to the new MyPoints site.

Just wanted to add....in the past I've redeemed for WebCerts and Rainforest Cafe giftcards....and I've always received them quickly without any problems.

Thanks,
Speed

I ordered 8 Web Certificates on 9/22 and have not seen anything yet either. Does something come in the mail on these or is it e-mailed?? Never had these before.

I had previously ordered 4 WebCertificates from MyPoints before the switchover to the new site.

If I remember right, they were e-mailed to me. I was then able to go to the WebCertificates page, log-in, and punch in the code from each of the $25 WebCerts to add the amounts to my account.

If you don't already have an account, the site walks you through a registration process to open an account to redeem the certificates.

The account has a 16 digit number, expiration, and security code number (just like a credit card). You can use these number to purchase things online at places that accept Mastercard. You can also call Disney Reservations and use the number to apply your WebCertificate funds to an upcoming vacation.

Still waiting on my 4 - $25 WebCerts...redeemed on 9/20....

Did anyone receive their webcertificates yet from the new site? I am about to redeem my points for one, and I want to make sure they are coming.

maggiew...

I still have not received my WebCertificates from MyPoints. I redeemed 4 - $25 WebCertificates on 9/20.

I contacted MyPoints and was told the wait would be 4 to 6 weeks for delivery on the WebCertificates. I confirmed this with other people on the Rewards board who were told the same thing as well as www.comparerewards.com

I've never had any problems receiving redeemed items from MyPoints...so, I'm not really worried about this. I just wanted to warn you that you will have to wait about a month to a month and a half to receive your WebCertificates. We are not going to Disney until June 2006, so I have time to wait.

My 6 week date from 9/20/05 is 11/01/05. Others on the Rewards board had redeemed a few days earlier than me and are still waiting. I guess we will see in the next couple of weeks what the verdict is.
