Review for MyPoints.com

When my friend first told me about MyPoints, I was a little skeptical. I had done some Pay To Click sites and NEVER got paid for any of them. So I wasn't too keen on the idea of clicking on ads for points. My friend kept bugging me to sign up under her and I finally reluctantly gave in and signed up. And I'm GLAD I DID! I've been a MyPoints member for over a year now and have been paid out many times.

How does it work? You can earn points many ways. Shopping, reading emails, playing games, searching online, taking surveys, etc. For me, I don't like to shop online, so I pretty much stick to the bonus emails and surveys. I spend maybe 5 min, if that, clicking the emails and/or taking a survey. When you are ready to redeem your points, you redeem them for gift cards to 100's or brand name stores, restaurants, and even gas to choose from. Last year, I did a good deal of my Christmas shopping by saving up my points until the Christmas season. I either redeemed the cards and did the shopping myself or I redeemed the points for the gift card and that was my gift. It made my Christmas season so much less stressful because I didn't spend money that I should have been using for my bills. This year though, I have been redeeming the gas cards. Either way, every little bit helps. Its 100% Free to sign up and if you have even a few min. a day or even a week, I totally recommend MyPoints. Click HERE if you would like to sign up. I'm pretty sure you will be glad you did.

I decided I would keep a tab for you all to see how my points are coming. I have just redeemed some points for a gas card and should be here in the next few days. But today is May 5th, 2010 (Cinco de Mayo) and I have a total of 537 points, and my husband has a total of 345 points. He doesn't do his much, just maybe on the weekends. But I will update this post every so often to give a tab of how the points accumulate.

*** Today is May 25th and I have 832 points and my hubby has 615 points - not to bad considering I don't shop for points, I just click on the emails****
