S.P.A.M. - What to use instead of MyPoints?

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?

You could be a little more specific.....

Assuming MyPoints really has become less useful and isn't just having (big) teathing problems then it depends on what you want it for:

If you want to earn rewards from Shopping then you still have a reasonable range including Goldpoints, Greenpoints, Clickrewards, Airmilesmart etc etc (see my shopping rewards comparison table (http://www.andrewcram.com/frequentflyer.html) for the main programs and their partners - I haven't updated MyPoints yet because the jury is still out on the changes and if they are intentional)

If you want free points from reading email to convert to Hilton points then you are left with e-rewards.

Any suggestions?

ebates.com would be a good alternative.

STAY AWAY from morerebates.com

For HHonors?---I use E-Rewards----it's not as productive as Mypoints used to be, but I manage 3000 Hilton points every 3 months. This year I had too many points when my year ran out, so I ended up with a $25 coupon for E-bags----ended up with a new piece of luggage at a great price to boot!

A portal not listed on Andrew's site is FreeRide.com--- they have been around for quite a while, but closed their site for a period of a couple years.

Granted their rewards aren't as impressive as MyPoints' offerings, they offer points for some sites that MyPoints no longer offers such as United.com

I'd be happy to provide a referral, but it isn't necessary to be referred to FreeRide.com :)

As listed on top of the forum

MyPoints was my primary non-mile earning portal.

I think I will switch to ebates or Upromise. As I do have a little baby now ;)

This is a great tool to use that will help you determine which rewards program to use when shopping. Just check the index for the specific store you want to shop and this handy dandy will list most of the rewards programs and their rewards. You can readily see which reward program pays the best.

Thanks for the other sites, but I'm just not ready to give up on MyPoints yet. It looks like some good things coming up, so I'm game. (I hope nobody shoots me!)

Thanks to all.
I really had my eyes open to whats out there by following
some of the URL's.

Not to be immodest but I think that my comparison table (http://www.andrewcram.com/frequentflyer1.html) is of more use to flyertalkers than sdrawer - for one it covers all the airline and hotel shopping portals which SDrawer doesn't. There are some points based programs not covered by my table that are in sdrawer (and vice versa) however I am continually expanding to add new programs and hope to cover most of these soon.

Andrew, I agree. You're tool there is a Godsend for shopping online and trying to earn points/miles! ^
