About the "video nuances" I was editing my essay post on the new system...

I've found a way not to waste so much time with the videos (I've downloaded the TV app on my iPod Touch 5 at home w/WiFi, but haven't been able to make it work) if you have to babysit MyP in front of the computer (w/the volume MUTED)...

After some (varies with the video) seconds each video makes a checked symbol as "being watched", I just then click on the next video on the queue, then "rinse and repeat". A 20 video 1+ hour queue becomes a 6-7 minute affair for 6 MyP (still not fair, but doable), less so for shorter length one.

Sorry that I have to explain this, but it's NOT FAIR TO THE MEMBER that MyPoints dares to make you watch OVER 1 HOUR OF VIDEOS for 6 crummy points worth as low as 4 CENTS. For 6-7 minutes it's just a slight chore if you have time to burn, otherwise pass the videos over...

PS: For those wondering about the lack of Amazon's eGC's, they're back... At the HIGH range (~ 160 MyP / $1 redeemed) w/a $10 minimum.
