I have been a member of Mypoints for at least 10 years, maybe more, and I'm so disappointed with them. I had spent a lot of money online through them last year at the holidays, yet it wasn't showing up as points after many months. When I checked, I was missing 3/4 of what I should have had. Just now it took me 3 hours to go through my paypal and report what was missing from December! Now I wonder how much I have missed from years gone by, by not checking! So far November 2016 & December 2016 are caught up with me making complaints, but this will get real old, real soon!

This used to be a great site! Little by little turned into a disaster. It became harder to earn points. Not only less opportunities or smaller pay-offs, but physically impossible to earn points. For example, they have this option to get points by watching videos, but the site does not work. It works maybe a few days a month only.

After getting points, when you redeem, that is another problem. Gift card's sent incorrectly and you can't redeem the amount. Final cherry on the top is that they just close your account and forfeit all your points and there is nothing you can do about it! Total waste of time and effort and a whole lot of disappointment!

Joined today, answered their questions for the profile, then started some of the shorter surveys and on many they wrote I did not qualify for this or that survey, without any explanation as to why. Then I ventured into a 15-minute survey. Keep in mind that I value time more than any asset I have. I answered all questions as truthfully as I could, except for two or three that I felt intruded quite a bit into my privacy and were not related to beer consumption. Mind you, when they asked what I purchase as beverages, I answered only wine, yet (because they don't pay attention), they threw me into a beer survey. Really sophisticated system! After I spent over ten minutes of my time answering their questions, on the last question they wrote again I did not qualify for that survey and I earned 5 points instead of the originally set points, which were around 100. So listen here, idiots, if I tell you that I earn a relatively high income but I tell you twice that I choose wine that is under $20 a bottle, that only means that my financial priorities are different from those of most people in this country, who prefer to buy liabilities with no value rather than money making assets. You don't waste my time to tell me I did not qualify for your dumb survey at the very end of that survey when you actually got my answers. This is disrespectful and unprofessional at best. Time is my most valuable asset as I can never get it back, and the reason why I am very successful financially is because I don't waste my time. You are not worth my time. You are not truthful with the way you treat people who answer your survey questions by undermining them at the end and paying them just 5 pints instead of the promised 100. How convenient, isn't it? In all honesty, you are not worth my time, but I wanted others to know this, too.

Years ago MyPoints did a good job when it came to giving you points earned and quickly. But lately I have notice that they are not giving me points earned. When emailing them regarding the points they always say it can take up to 90 days, but I also notice that the points are not pending. My question is are they getting anything back on my purchases, and not crediting me? It was good while last, to much trouble dealing with these companies.
