Earn more than just points at Mypoints

Everyone loves free stuff, so this post is dedicated to a website I’ve been actively using for over 4 years now. www.mypoints.com is a rewards site where, once signed up, you can receive points for purchases over the internet similar to the bing cash back program. These points can be redeemed for gift cards at popular retailers. Online purchase deals range from receiving 1 point per dollar up to around 5 points per dollar, although they have special offers that may be worth more points. Sometimes you can receive a bulk of points from a first purchase - such as 500 points for signing up for so-so’s service. Don’t want to buy online? Don’t worry. You can still earn points for signing up for different interests and receiving emails for those interests. Once you receive the email just click the link and voila – you’ve received 5 points. Also available on their website are coupons powered by coupons.com. The nice thing about these coupons is not only are you saving money through the coupons, you also earn points for each coupon that is redeemed. Personally my big point earner through my years at Mypoints has been the frequent customer survey’s that you receive through email. The surveys can range from 10-15 points if you do not qualify for the complete survey and 25-100 points if you do. A full survey can range from 15 to 45 minutes, and can be almost any topic. This is a great opportunity to be part of market research as you can give your opinion on products and ads way before they hit mainstream. Once you’ve racked up some points you can redeem them for gift cards. Many mainstream websites (Amazon, iTunes, FTD) and brick and mortar store (Wal-Mart, target, GameStop, best buy, home depot) gift cards are available as well an array of restaurants (Applebee’s, McDonalds, red lobster) and gas stations (BP, Shell).





It takes about 1600 points for a $10 gift card and 3600 points for a $25 gift card.
