I'm fairly new to all these point schemes, so pardon my naive questions. The only one I'm really familiar with is MyPoints

I've been a member of MyPoints.com for about 2-3 years and get my points by always clicking on the "get 5 points for looking" button as well as going through their link for some online purchases.

So far, I've received 1000 AA miles as well as a Bloomingdales GC. Not bad for something so easy.

Now on this forum, I saw a reference to Points.com and my big question is, what's the difference betweeen the two? Is one better than the other? Is it worth joining both? They have most of the same merchants for both getting and redeeming points and I'm thinking that to join them both will only make it harder to accumulate points worth redeeming. Or if Points.com is better, I can puchase though their links and just use the mypoints click throughs for a sluggish 5 points at a time.

Thoughts?

Thanks and Happy Holiday's,
Molly
