MyPoints really has gone in the toilet. I suppose I am just a free point whore b/c I keep doign it, but man it takes forever to get to redemption level now. There was a point where I was flipping Mypoints every month just on emails and free offers on their site.

The big problem with E-rewards is the lack of awards and their 90-day redemption policy. I just redeemed for 3k points for $50 this month, and I already have $73 in my account. In the ideal world you should be able to cash out when you to your money level. I usually get one of the Blockbuster rewards a year simple b/c the $ would diappear, but I agree with other posters that they are really restrictive in how you redeem them at Blockbuster.
