Videos on MyPoints
About a week or two ago, I got an email from MyPoints that contained a link to register to view video ads for points through MyPoints. I registered, and was able to watch 5 videos a day for three points each for several days. After watching the video, you had to enter two numbers that showed on the edge of the video while viewing in order to get the points. I went to a link that I thought was in the "Easy Points" section of the MyPoints website, but I can no longer find the link.
Can anyone post a link to the "video viewing" option, as it was an easy way to pick up an extra 15 MyPoints a day? Or hav they taken it out of the options? Swagbucks had similar videos available, but I haven't seen such a link through them either in the last several days, although Inbox Dollars still seems to have such a link.

Did you get any points to actually post? I watched 45 points worth of videos and nothing as posted to my account...
Looks like this is the same company (AdGenesis) that InboxDollars uses. You get InboxDollars credit within a few minutes of watching videos there...

I'd say >50% of the emails I'm getting now are not the five points for clicking type. I'm pretty careful to avoid these. I'm not giving them advertisers' dollars if they're not sharing the love.

Has anyone received the Video Rewards points? I've received a few, but mostly they're not posting. When I look at the most recent 3 months of account history, it shows the points as pending, but (unlike most pending points), it doesn't seem as if they been added to my points total. Frustrating. tls
