This survey company offers more than just taking surveys - you can accumulate points watching videos or buying online from selected companies - I have never had an issue and when I do contact them, they are very quick to reply to my email requests. And always very helpful.
MyPoints offers the opportunity to earn points for doing what you already do online: shopping, reading emails, playing games, searching the web, taking surveys, and more. Users can then covert those points to gift cards for stores and restaurants of their choosing.
However, upon reading the fine print, users will learn that no gift cards will be dispensed until they sign up for at least one "sponsored offer." And of course these "sponsored offers" require credit card details. Again, as it is not advisable to divulge credit card information, it is not worth joining MyPoints.
There have also been a number of complaints about MyPoints mysteriously closing user accounts as soon as a payout is requested. Based on the volume and consistency of negative reviews alone, it seems reasonable to say that MyPoints is a scam.
When low on funds because of medical reasons or job hours cut, this program really helps out in a pinch. I've been able to redeem points for gift cards/codes to purchase items our household needs or to give as gifts.
As a break to usual internet reading this program offers some interesting rewards for survey participation. At times due to various connectivity issues from assorted websites it can be very frustrating completing and receiving credits. Still all in all it's a solid and rewarding experience.
MyPoints has always been good but over the last few years it has really been lacking videos and other fun ways to earn. Also, along with Swagbucks, you can't log in on the apps as it says invalid credentials and along with others has made sure our log in names & passes are indeed correct and CS doesn't help at all. It has become increasingly frustrating with this for a long time now but the regular web page is ok despite no vids. I would really appreciate if the previously mention concerns are fixed however.
This site is better than many other survey sites, sometimes there are still surveys that end up being time wasters and no rewards but not as bad as many others. I like that you can redeem for rewards at a very low point level.
For many years I have been with my points and truly enjoyed the benefits.until NOW! I noticed points were MISSING from account. When I wrote and asked for help, they were very useless! They sent me an email insisting to access my camera? I told them I do NOT own a cell phone or a camera. I had someone take a pic of my license and and save it as a JPG for me. I attached it to the email back to them and they would not accept it. So for all the years that I was a loyal user of MyPoints, thanks for NOTHING. VERY UPSET with MyPoints and how they deal with resolving issues. My problem was NOT resolved, WHATSOEVER!
I take surveys nearly every day, and earn about $200 in Safeway giftcards. I'm disabled, so my income is very low. I garden a log of my own fruit and veggies, but still have to buy other things I can't produce myself, particularly protein foods. MyPoints "earnings" definitely makes a difference in my food budget.
Long time MyPoints member, and I am saddened to see how this site has fallen over the years. They have always been able to devalue what you earn after the fact by simply raising the number of points required for a particular redemption. This is a business model that works great for them, but not so great for their loyal members. I wish I had cashed out years ago, because I can no longer afford the gift card I wanted. Shame on me for not being more vigilant and cashing out sooner. I won't waste my time on this program to have my points devalued again.
I would like to join others who wrote various reviews of the MyPoints website. It is really good to earn points and then use them for gift cards, at the same time it has many problems mentioned here by other customers. Therefore, it is only a 3-star...
The surveys are ridiculous and take too long with so few points. Also, when redeeming for an Amazon gift card in the past you would receive it right away. Now they have to process the order and let you know at a future date when your order is processed. Stay away from this site - it's a waste of time. Also, they have banned me from taking their surveys because according to them I did not answer correctly. I think they did not like my answers to their political questions.
I joined this site less than a month ago and have been doing surveys and watching videos diligently everyday. I spent a lot of time doing those super long surveys and watching their videos on my phone. I reached enough points to redeem for a 25 $ paypal card but just a day after that they deactivated my account for no reason. When I reached out to customer service they claimed there were " egregious answers" and "time irregularities". I have no idea what they're talking about but I know it's absolute BS. They do this to a lot of people.it's their MO. They bait you into taking a lot of survey then they cut you off so that they can keep all the money and not pay you. Stay away from this scam. The positive surveys are more likely from people who work for them.
I have been a member since 2002 and now I am locked out of being able to get gift cards because it says i have had too many verification with phone complete bull crap! It has been many months now and the problem has not been fixed and have written several times and I get nothing, no help. The company that toke over a few years back is a junk company.
My points is too strict if you mistakenly put a wrong answer. I enjoyed during the surveys because it actually strengthen my memory and thinking after fighting breast cancer and enduring so much chemotherapy which can cause memory issues. However, I use other sites now to earn points and boost my memory
Accumulated points, then they closed my account before I could get an award. Opened a customer care ticket with them, received notification that they received my question. Waited... no response from mypoints customer care. I don't think they want to pay out rewords. Make more money that way...
The magic receipts section of this site doesn't work well. Just this week I have had 4 receipts refused even though I had purchased the items needed. Example: strawberries my receipt showed 3 packs of fresh strawberries the site denied this receipt. Fetch works quicker for uploading than my points I am frustrated.
Over the last 15 years that ive been a member, it has become increasingly more and more difficult to earn points. I have struggled through the monthly goals so much so that ive given up on even trying. Same goes for the surveys. I give my best answers and 70% of the time i am kicked from a survey that ive spent a considerable amount of time answering. Im tired of trying. Watching videos of the same boring junk everyday over and over for months, even years in the daily scoop.ive mentioned it quite a few times now how dissatisfied i am with the process. Not doing it any more. I have much better things to do than waste my time busting my a** for less than an extra 850 points monthly.
I do quite a bit of shopping online, so thats how i manage to earn my points these days. I at least havent been punished for shopping. Yet...
I love mypoints.com. A friend referred me years ago and I've earned tons of gift cards, mostly just from reading emails and doing surveys. They are quick to credit points and fulfill redemptions. Highly recommended.
I mostly redeem points for a Walmart gift card every month and now my kitchen is complete, thanks to MP. Answering surveys is so much fun, you get rewarded and help companies improve their products which benefits consumers like myself.
My Points is an exciting website because you will always be surprised of their offerings! You also have the ability to earn gift cards or other interesting products through the awards program. Take a look and judge for yourself!
