Thanks, I'll have to try that.

Does anyone know if Pointsmaker is up and running? I signed up and was approved but can't find any deals on their website. Also is it a reputable site?

Why would you sign up for something where you are concerned about it's reputation :confused:

I signed up after reading a good review. Is it wrong to ask for someone to share their experiences with it?

They do not post deals on there site. All deals are emailed to you. I have never personally delt with them but have heard they are ok with deals and payments.

BFMR has been useless for me for orders other than Amazon.

They don’t post deals on their website. You have to join their WA group or get email notifications.

Sorry. I didn’t see your question was already answered.

Does anyone have any recent experience with EMB? How long does it take from the time item is delivered to getting scanned into their system and to sending a payment?

they are fairly quick with check ins and payment, but their batting average is lower than other groups. by the time you confirm something is missing, they are very slow to respond to anything. creating a ticket in their system can take weeks to get a response. if you are considering sending them items, my recommendation is to stay away. if you already have, good luck. pack your patience.

Thanks, my batting average with them is 0 so far. 3 items were delivered last week on different days but have not been checked in. Sent email to their support box - no response. Opened missing item ticket - nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do at this point other than warn others to stay away?

Some of the items they checked in today were from 12/1 and 12/2. They go by name/ID number but always double check your order number, tracking number (which can sometimes change), and the address you sent to.

I don't have any idea why, but I've had very good luck with Walmart. Probably 90% success - the only orders canceled were around Black Friday / Cyber Monday times. Amazon is probably 95% success, but I have had a couple of orders canceled by them. I've had a couple of orders from Office Depot go through, but every order from Staples and Best Buy has been canceled within a couple of hours of placing.

I'm very satisfied with both BFMR and Pointsmaker. Of the two, BFMR is my favorite simply because of how quickly and automatically they pay. Pointsmaker has always paid, but you have to request payment and it usually takes a couple of days at least before payment is available (I always request an e-check and they work great).

MYS just sent out an email saying they scanned in all packages through 12/2 but two of my packages from 11/30 haven't been scanned in. Is this pretty common?

​​​​​​​yeah they've been pretty terrible. My items haven't been scanned in since December 7th. Do you have any updates on your package?

I would pretty much count the package as lost if they scanned though a date and yours wasnt scanned. One lost package is all it took for me to stop completely. Other ways to spend that's safer
