Favour to ask to get to new caledonia
Hi all
After much much much clicking my mypoints balance stands at 17850 points - just 2150 points to go and I shall have enough points to go to New Caledonia for the Giant Ommelette festival (April 23).
This weekend I hope to pick up around 350 points which will put me at about 18200 points. Trouble is that it may take until after April to get the remaining 1800 points.
I also have to factor in time exchanging the mypoints for vacationmiles and then exchanging these for AA miles which in turn get exchanged for a Qantas ticket.
One simple way to fix this problem is to sign up 18 people to Mypoints which is not a large number (By the way Mypoints is free to join and is a great way to accumulate free frequent flyer miles. The miles above were accumulated since August last year). I don't mind spending money to get the various shopping bonuses but regular mypointers have complained that mypoints is slow in posting these bonuses.
I would be most grateful if there is anyone out there who has not yet signed up for Mypoints if they could follow the following link and sign up for Mypoints. Even if only a few people sign up my chances of getting enough points in time to go to the festival will be significantly improved.
Here's the link

Thanking you

Hi again
I just got an email to say that someone had signed up from my link above. That was quick - 100 points already. I just need another 17 people. Thanks to whoever signed up from the above link.
cheers Peter

Peter-
Time is so short as you know. I've also sadly had referrals from early last year that had NOT ever posted. My points has more trouble tracking them down than O.J. has trying to find the "real killer(s)!"
The best thing is to get things that post quickly!
How about ordering many, many "trial" magazines from Enews to check them out. You get quite a few points for each one. And there's no charge if you don't like them!
I also recently got 150 points for signing up at www.gorp.com and you could try that but I could not find it at their site and don't have a Mypoints link. It was from an Email.
More.com is running their 100 point promo again. That's alot of points w/ fre shipping for only $25!
Why not also provide your referral name so we can bring my former post for a FREE $10. gift cert at giftcertificates.com forward.
Those interested could refer you instead of me through that link and get $10 for their trouble plus the extra 50 points for having you refer them!
