honu - I am sorry you took me too literally. It is a pain to get any points through MyPoints purchases, I have myself never received a single point bonus for a purchase automatically. The points do not post, eventually I send an email to MyPoints, who ask me to send them the email from the merchant. It takes forever. Other discounts like the buy.com discount are available even without going through MyPoints.
But if you have had a good experience with them, disregard my comments.
