I finally got enough points to get a $15 gift card for Amazon.
As soon as I claim the reward by point balance goes down. I did immediately receive the email with the said gift card in it.

I open the email, click "retrieve code' and it opens a new page on the My Points site and beside the picture of the $15 Amazon Gift card are the words "LOCKED OUT".

I now, cannot log in to my account either. I put the email address and then the password and it says "Too many failed attempts" and "Try again later".

I am using the correct email and password. I have seen where others have said they get the same message of LOCKED OUT when they try to redeem their gift card codes.

I sent an email. We will see if anyone answers me. Others have said they have had the same problem and sent emails for weeks and either are ignored or told to just wait.

Guess I wasted my time the last few weeks trying to get points to get my Amazon card. If someone answers me and the fix it I will come back and update. But as for now, I would say this is a site where you will waste your time and not get rewarded for your efforts and to stay away from it!

I have found MyPoints to be a declining program. I don't get that many emails that I get points for clicking on anymore. They want me to watch 30min videos (that won't play) for 5 points. And when you have a problem, for example with the surveys, you can't get help. I haven't done surveys for at least a year because you do 10 minutes worth of question to find you don't qualify and get a lousy 1 point. Now that I'm furloughed due to Covid I tried to do a survey, answered 1 question to which it told me my answers didn't match and locked my account. I'm not sure if I mistyped something or there's a bigger problem, but I can't get help from customer service. They wouldn't answer me at first and now their answer is simply we can't help you. When this program started it was amazing and I would get gift card after gift card. As of late it's been more of a waste of time. Sad.

More than just a survey site, MyPoints has made some major improvements to their program. The compensation is pretty good, and there are many ways to earn points for redemption. Plenty of gift card choices, with redemption as low as $3.
Paypal payout is a bit high, at $25, but payment is made by the end of the next business day, which is a marked improvement, and better than most others. They seem to be constantly trying to improve the program lately, which is something that the rest of the programs.
Affiliated with Swagbucks, which has a $10 Paypal threshold, it would be nice if they could even out the points. MyPoints has a few more ways to earn rewards than Swagbucks, from what I see.
Mypoints offers a lot of points for purchases from a large number of vendors. As of lately, this is one of the top programs. If they lowered to Paypal payout threshold to $10, it would be my top choice. Right now, it's second to instaGC.

I really love this survey site. You can easily earn points with doing surveys and also by purchasing products online from certain companies to purchase online. I have redeemed several gift cards and have enough to redeem another one.

I had been part of the panel for at least 5 years. I was abruptly cut off because they did not like the answers I gave. They said I was inconsistent in my answers. I could not reach them through their Chat feature and was directed to fill in a form. I was also blocked from redeeming over 25,000 points.
