Do you honestly believe that there are people using MyPoints who NEVER visit the website?

In order to redeem points for rewards, one has to visit the website! Also, a lot of the click-throughs take one to the website (e.g., surveys for which one does not qualify).

Visit the website periodically because they often have 5 point click through offers on the website. Usually some type of questionnaire. Usually one or two questions to see if you qualify for an offer or to lead you in to an offer. End result is 5 points for no cost except your time.

I have sometimes gone after a several week absence and there will be 12 offers which results in 60 extra points. The box with these offers appears in the right hand column about two thirds of the way down the page. The box has up to six tabs on it, each with a different question/offer. Once you cycle through all 6 of them (if there are 6), click your browser refresh button and check for more.
