Mypoints is a shopping portal which allows you to earn points when you shop (among other ways)

Points.com is a tool to allow one to convert one company's points/miles to another (but at a very poor rate). I have ~2800 USAir miles and I think points.com will give me 142 AA miles, give or take.

So then are you saying it's really not worth joining Points.com unless I have some miles I need to convert?

I think I have about 4000 USAirways miles that will never do me any good. (I already get too many magazines) So perhaps worth joining mypoints just to convert those miles to a program I'm active in, even with the lousy conversion rates. Something's better than nothing!

Thanks for the information.
