You know I have been happy with the thousands of Hilton HHOnors points I have gotten from MyPoints. I've decided that the time and effort involved (not so much as you might think) are worth these free hotel points. I would not purchase specifically to get MyPoints though, earning most of mine through the TalkCity polls and bonus mailings. I also have not seen particularly slow site loadings.

MileKing: I know your thing is bashing MyPoints, but let's put this into perspective. I spend no more time trying to get what is owed me in the way of missing points with MyPoints than I do with airline and hotel programs!! And at least I can handle it by e-mail. I spent quite a while yesterday writing to United about missing miles--I had to write a letter, print it, dig out receipts, xerox documents, address, stamp and mail an envelope and now wait.
