Shutting Down
I can't remember when I started with MyPoints, but it was over 15 years ago I guess. "Getting paid to read emails" was a neat idea, but it has become less and less exciting for me.
Coupons for name brands has never been a drawing point for me because I still get cheaper items buy generics or store brands.
Since moving to the middle of the Pacific I wound that many stores are either not available nor ship out here.
I rarely qualified for recent surveys because they want to test effectiveness of TV ads. I do streaming because of the crazy prices for cable or satellite TV (Amazon Prime works well for me and the Roku has lots of free channels).
So I have cashed in the last of my points on a Safeway card and a donation to a group that helps people in Micronesia. (We here in Hawaii have many Micronesians working on our farms, so it seemed like a useful gesture).
I have turned off all emails but will keep the account active. Sometimes I buy things and use the site to get points for things I buy. However, the constant emails will cease and I may have time to do some actual work on my farm now :-)

What I can't access of MyPoints is the Account Statement.
I can watch videos and fill surveys (and be credited) and go to the "shopping" and "rewards" pages, but can't reach my statement, even though I notified MyPoints a week ago about the problem without answer...
