EDIT: THIS IS NOW 200!! THIS IS NOW WEEKLY

EDIT: ALL CATEGORIES WORK NOW! THe new onw is here: www.talkcity.com/communities/women.htmpl

END EDIT.

Hi all, haven't seen this posted previously.

You can go to [url="http://www.talkcity.com]www.talkcity.com[/URL"] and there are 20 categories with a survey question, categories like, age, art, autos, etc... each category has a qusestion, answer it, get the poll result and click the link for 10 points from mypoints. You can answer [edit] ALL 20 categories for 10 points each, and this is every 24 hours EDIT:EVERY WEEK. The questions don't always change but you can reanswer them and click for the points... or at least that is how it is working now.

Don't click the talkcity by mypoints link, this will take you to the signup window, just go straight to the polls above. Also, if you dont have mypoints already, sign up at the regular site, www.mypoints.com, as the talkcity mypoints program doesn't have all the same offers for other point earnings. If you are signing up, do list someone from the board as referring you, say, lastraub.

thanks and hope it helps you all. mypoints are redeemable 1:1 for AA miles once you reach 5K (lesser rewards for smaller amounts) or 1:1.25 for 20K points =25K AA miles. That conversion yields 230 or so miles a day for the polls...

Thanks tummyg ... that's great!

Thanks for the info. I just spent 10 minutes answering all the surveys. hope it would transfer into points tomorrow.

tummyg....what a great tip!

Thanks for the great tip! Took me about 15 minutes(28.8 modem) to complete survey. At the rate of 180 points a day, this translates to over 65,000 points per year, or 2 round trip tickets and enough points for a two night stay using a point stretcher award at Hilton. Not a bad deal for a few minutes time each day. Life is good.

an easy 180 points for about 10 minutes, and some of the questions are fun to think about while the results are posting. Thanks for the great tip tummyg

AWESOME! Thank you for the great tip!

I thought this one might make a few people happy.

Just a few notes:

First, plug for Randy, who is responsible indirectly for me finding this, he has a program on talkcity, every second Wednesday, believe at 6 or 7pm pacific time, I went there on a first wed, was disappointed when i realized I was a week early, but started looking around, and Yummy, there where the points...

This weekend mypoints had some problem with points posting, which affected most points, including the talkcity ones. They are supposed to be fixing it and back posting. There are actually 20 categories, but for some reason the "Women" category doesnt give points (think perhaps because the question, about abortion, is to politically sensative for mypoints) and computers (or one of the C categories) isn't working with the current question, but do keep checking it.

Hopefully they will keep this program going for awhile. I do click some of the ad links when the survey results pop up, as I figure that revenue helps to pay their costs, and it is just another window I close in 30 seconds..

Another points oppurtunity on talkcity I found, click on the Homepages tab, then scroll to the very bottom, there is 15 points for visiting "OnNow" valid once a week.

Happy polling.

Okay, good news, I checked my balance and the points for yesterday did post. Hope everyone got them, and lets all hope this one stays open for awhile.

BTW, I was checking out the vacation miles site (they provide the AA miles) and there is a limit of 25000 miles per calendar year per person per vacation miles program. So, schedule yourself to get to that 20,000 point level by late november if possible so you can get the 25000 this year. Use a few of the 500 mile offers from more.com (as posted in another thread), whatever it takes...

cheers

Great find!!!

Did my polls yesterday and all points were posted today. Thanks again!

did what you said, clicked on your link to www.talkcity.com

took the poll twice, never saw a link to click on to collect the points for mypoints.

also tried clicking on the main page for mypoints by talkcity, which did NOT take me to a sign up screen...it said, since you already have a mypoints account, you don't need to sign up and dumped me back to where I started.

How do you take the poll and collect the points? what do you click on to make the connection?

This is bizarre...another page had a link in the upper right corner to click and collect after voting.

what gives?

oh well, free points while you can get them, a bit hit or miss, but free nonetheless.

THANKS FOR THE TIP!

Looks like you get points with most of polls but not all. "Vote now and get the 10 points" under the vote button is the key. When you submit your vote, there's an icon you need to click on to collect your points. I hope this helps...

Grice,

when you open talkcity, there is a box called "what interests you" in that is the list of 20 categories starting with age, autos, etc. click one of these, then in the page that opens in the lower rightwill be the "community poll" with the question for that category. answer that, then the results page has the link for the points.

I think you are answering the "Speak Up Poll" questions on the front page, this one doesn't give any points.

19 of the 20 categories now give points, exception is women as noted before, and computers is working again, thus you can get 190 points a day.

Correct about seeing the mypoints notice beneath the question, see it and you will get them after answering.

The talkcity by mypoints link you clicked would have taken you to a signup page, except since you have the regular Mypoints membershiup cookie, it rejects you, so you dont end up with 2 accounts which wold lead many into confusion.... If you didnt have mypoints cookie at the time, ie not a member or you had "removed member key" it would have taken you to the talkcity mypoints sign up page. (This is mentioned is not as good as the regular program as it is missing some of the other point earning oppurtunities, but may have other benefits from time to time- I dont know).

Hope this helps.

BTW - Saw Randy's pic while answering the survey, The liveflyer chat on talkcity is tonight, wed 8 at 6pm pacific time if anyone wants to drop by...
