Hybrid Site REVIEW - MyPoints

MyPoints

I have been a happy member of MyPoints for.... ever it seems. Actually, I started with the site in 200
and have stayed with them because they are easy to work with, and I am not required to jump through any hoops. I've been a gold member for about 3 years now. I have paid them NOTHING.

If I open their emails, I get my 5 points. If I open their surveys, I get 10 points even if I don't qualify for the entire survey – and even more points if I complete it. Their average survey is worth 50 points, but usually 3 – 4 per week are worth 75 points. Occasionally there will be one for 100 or 200 points, but I usually don't qualify for those.

They have cash offers, games and cash-back-shopping, too. I have not used many of these services, but since they have been a really reliable site with just the email offers, I am sure they are just as reliable with the rest.

MyPoints is one of my favorite sites of all... Even without trying – just opening their 5-point emails – I have earned several $25 gift cards. This is the site I was talking about where usually they have arrived in far less than a month – and I have often used them during the holidays when I need to give gift cards for Christmas. They haven't failed me yet!

I usually get between 3 and 5 cash emails every day (you click on the “get points” link at the bottom, and those are automatically added to your account). If you do the offer in the email through their link, you will get additional points and sometimes other rewards. I rarely take them up on the offers, though. If you are looking to get your points fast, they sometimes have free on-line newsletters to sign up for, others are cash offers for purchases or trials of certain products and services.

I normally get at least one survey offer via email each day, many times two. These are worth 10 points each, so I usually click on those, too and at least try to qualify.

Newsletters normally have a choice of ads to click for points as well.

Be sure to sign up for all the emails they are willing to send you. 99% will give you points just for opening them.

Reward cards start at 1600 points, I believe, maybe a hundred or so less. I normally go for $25 gift cards, and my favorite companies (Barnes & Noble, Red Lobster and Chili's) are all right around 3600 points.

Simply opening emails – not even taking advantage of the surveys – I have been known to collect two or more cards per year.

If you work the program, you can easily get 4 or 5 (watch the rules on individual cards – many you can only order once or twice a year, so you will need to choose a different card on occasion), and then there are the points-for-shopping and such that can really add up fast.

As with all of these sites, it is best to promote them if and where you can. I was referred – I don't even remember by whom anymore – and while I haven't worked hard at this site, my referrer has made some rewards off of my activity. Nothing is deducted from me, and I'm happy if that person gets a couple points just for turning me on to this site. Just for clicking an email, I've gotten plenty of fun out of it, and plenty of gift cards – well over $100 so far.

NOTE: Always compare sites, though. If you are working GPT sites, many of the same offers are here at MyPoints. Be sure to do your offers at the site that gives the best benefit. All are different.

Leverage, leverage, leverage!

I have not yet been approved for the MyPoints affiliate program. However, if you would like to join this program, please email me through my profile, and I will send you an invitation. This will allow me to collect up to 25 points for referring you, rather than a commission. Thanks in advance!
