How to earn MyPoints fast!
I was just checking out MyPoints looking for more points (trying to get to 5,000 to redeem), and one of their merchants is an online travel reservation site!
TravelNow is offering Points for purchase as follows:
Purchase $30.00 to $59.99 and earn 100 Points
Purchase $60.00 to $119.99 and earn 150 Points
Purchase $120.00 to $179.99 and earn 300 Points
Purchase $180.00 to $239.99 and earn 450 Points
Purchase $240.00 to $299.99 and earn 600 Points
Purchase $300.00 to $399.99 and earn 750 Points
Purchase $400.00 or more and earn 1,000 Points
You will not receive an automatic confirmation of your award. Your Points will be awarded within 10 days you have completed your travel.
MyPoints are redeemable 1 for 1 to FF miles (when you get a balance of 5,000 to DL, AA, and CO) or Hilton points (when you get a balance of 1,000), so for all us Frequent Travelers, we can really rack them up! This is especially attractive with a lot of the airlines' online booking bonuses set to expire soon (though hopefully the airlines will decide to extend them ...). This also covers rental cars and hotels.

I seem to be dropping points fast!
It is currently showing a balance of 260.
Last time I checked it was 870 points
My 4,275 Bonus mail points should transfer to 855 points
855 plus 870 is 1,725 points.
And I know I had earned points since that time that I last checked!
Instead of showing 1,725 points, it is only showing 260!
Anybody else having this problem or have any ideas how to get corrected? I have emailed them several times but just keep getting auto responses.
