Daily videos?
Has anybody tried watching the videos under the "More" header? I've watched a few recently, but I see no acknowledgement of them in my account.
Some of the videos are mildly interesting, but as they're only worth 1 point each, I usually just press play and mute the sound while I do something else.

I joined MyPoints again last night and 500 UA miles are already in my account this morning. That was a pleasant surprise. 
I had a MyPoints account once before about 4-5 years ago, but I figured I was okay to join again after such a long hiatus, and my hunch was correct.
I also made a purchase from the MY Points website, so we will see how long those 1000 UA miles take to post......

GRACIAS for the DIRECT link!
Got +5 MyP's (and could finally check if I had all the 10 videos credited for the new "watch videos" feature (up to 10 MyP's/day) for watching up to 10 different videos (provided by AOL, some also have a version of them on YouTube). I just try the ones that are either the shortest (1:10 or less) or the ones that are interesting to me (no more than 2:30 on those). Yes, you have to watch :15-:30 ads between each (except in the early morning it seems), but I don't waste too much time for this being a DAILY way to get extra points...
"Has anybody tried watching the videos under the "More" header? I've watched a few recently, but I see no acknowledgement of them in my account."
About that, if you click on any of the videos shown AFTER the video ends (you have lo let the video play the whole length to count) it won't count for MyPoints. You have to "go over" and click in another video's (can't be the same one the same day) thumbnail. Also useful is to remember the amount of points (upper right-hand corner of the screen) BEFORE you watch the 1st video to remember when to stop. Also, check after you think you have the 10 videos watched to verify if they were counted (sometimes 1 or 2 may not, but you can go back to the video section to complete). In the "account statement" section there's a line that states how many points you got this month for "video watching" and clicking further it would spell it out by day...
