Shopping through Blink vs. Mypoints

[dtuleya]

I sure wish I knew about these programs BEFORE last Christmas! I do alot of internet shopping and could have been saving major $ for our trip to WDW this November.

My qustion is....

When I decide to make a purchase through a merchant (let's say the Disneystore.com), does anyone know what is the most adventageous site to order through, Blink or Mypoints? It's hard to tell since they give points based on different scales. I was thinking of going through Blink since it seems like there are more opportunities (from what I've seen) to earn points. Any thoughts?

I purchase thru whichever one I'm closest to cashing out of. Does that make sense? Right now I'm ready to cash out of mypoints (just the $10 level) but at blink I still need 40,000 to earn a $25 webcertificate (only 2000 more for the $20 wb, but I'm shooting for $25) so I'll purchase thru blink. Personally, I find mypoints a bit less hassle and time consuming than blink and the webcerts come quickly. Also, I'll go with a bonus buy if one is offered at either site, that makes the choice easier. You know, like mypoints has a bonus for OldNavy purchase so I used mypoints instead of blink. I wanted to try netflip and blink offered a 50,000 bonus so I used blink. Okay, I hope this is clear. Sometimes it makes more sense in my head than it does in writing, lol.

Give this site a look and see what you think $Drawer

You'll find all the sites that give points for shopping at any particular store and how many points they give. Usually I use MyPoints but will use another reward site if I'm close to cashing out for something specific.
