FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: mhdena
I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.


I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.

please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add
  1. Pointsmaker - pointsmaker.com - Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick same day most often via echeck once item is checked in
  2. MYS Buying Group - mysbuyinggroup.com Notifies via email . You buy and upload tracking number - Payment comes pretty quick once item is checked in echeck
    MYS has the most complaints of all, from very late payment to not receiving items. Many people have given up on MYS.
  3. USA Buying Group - usabuying.group same as others regarding loading the tracking number. slowest payment of all. alerts come via whatsapp and email and response time is medium to issues
  4. YRCW - app.yrcwtech.com same as others alertss comes via whatsapp - payments can be slow. response time to issues are pretty quick via communication thru wahtsapp to owner
  5. Buy For Me Retail - The best. buyformeretail.com deals are posted on page. offers sent thru email. payment sent ach when they are checked i
  6. EMB - embdeals.com same as above - a great one as well. alerts via whatsapp. payments can be requested same day and will arrive same day. lots of offers last amazon prime.
  7. EMB - From late 2021 through August 2022, Several reports of missing packages, more complaints than most of the other groups. Buyers Beware.
  8. TheDealBuyer - thedealbuyer.com - Seems to be very new to the game. Not using whatsapp, but Pushover to send deals.

Buyersforpoints
Just a data point or at least what I have experienced with Buyersforpoints - their payout is extremely slow. It used to be roughly 3 weeks from the date you requested an eCheck but now it has become 4-6 weeks. This does not bode well about their cashflow.

Hello,sorry if my question sounds stupid, but if I choose E-check from TDB (under 200USD), will I need a printer ? Also, do I need to print front & back (like normal check).
Thank you.

Not stupid at all. I'm not sure if mine is the easiest way. I'm on a Windows pc when I do this. First I open the image of the check and copy/paste it into Paint. Then I crop it and paste it into Word. Change the background to black, resize and open my bank app. Go to deposit a check and take a picture of the screen. I have a paper with my signature and "mobile deposit only" written on it. I use this for the back of the check.

An alternative is to copy/paste the check into PowerPoint and follow the remaining steps accordingly. Also, if a buying group offers payment via ACH, you may want to use it to avoid the time spent on depositing the check.

Is there a support email for pointsmaker? A new password was required and but I don't receive any emails for password reset

If not I guess I'll just signup with another email?

Thanks for the heads up. I thought TDB was slow (average of 11 days for me).

Amazon is also a great way to make sure your account doesn't close. They rarely shut down accounts.

Many people got their Amazon account shut down.

Outside of holiday season TDB is one of the fastest.
