mypoints has been good to me because I just click on the 5 point things, let the site of that link open, then close it and delete the offer. Once and a while there IS something I may actually particiapte in, and if you find and offer or a survey, you can participate but for those you HAVE to keep records. They almost always require waiting, faxing, calling and emailing but if you basically only go for the 5 point click and trash emails, then it is fine. I have told them repetedly that they ALWAYS mess up on the offers that yeild between 20-100 points, but eventually, if I stay on top of these, the points do credit. To counter this, I often sign up for things like the free AOL or PeoplePC offers with UBER pointage and then cancel. But again, you have to play administrator for the length of time to get that properly taken care of.

How do you make the umlout ??sp?? key on a PC keyboard? I copy/pasted these but DON'T ask me how to spell the word for the two dots over the letter:

ö, Ä, é, ß

MM
