How do I even make 30-50 pts per day here aside from searching or completing unwanted offers?
Welcome to MyPoints!

For those that have done it for "years", it's a time filling hobby .... over the years, I have earned and redeemed over 350K points but I agree it may not be the best use of time/energy (unless you have plenty of both).

If your time is very "valuable" to you then MyPoints probably isn't for you!
