If you follow cepheid's excellent advice and simply read the FAQ on the website, you will see this:
Do MyPoints Points expire?
Your Points will expire only if you are inactive for a period of 12 consecutive months. Please see the MyPoints Terms of Service for our definition of inactivity.
How can I ensure that the Points I have won't expire?
Your Points will not expire as long as you do one of the following within a period of 12 consecutive months: website visit, email response (clickthru), survey completion, profile update or any Point-earning or spending transaction.
I don't see that it requires so much time simply to visit the mypoints website!
Also, sometimes if you visit the website, you will find offers there where simply answering a question, then clicking (once or twice) will earn you 5 points.
In the time it took you to start this thread, you could have reset the expiration clock on your mypoints already!
