How long did it take for United to show up? I got an email that the transfer was being "processed". They used to be instant. Should have done the AA too.

I redeemed for United miles last week and the miles posted immediately to my account.

Redeemed yesterday and the miles were in my United account before I got the MyPoints confirmation e-mail

I just redeemed for some United miles and got a message that the transfer was being "processed".

Well, the Mypoints points on my redemption for United got returned. Maybe something didn't match up?

I am not complaining though, as I actually prefer to redeem for the AA gift card.

But Hyatt is gone now. Anyone think that will come back?

Hyatt is gone from SB as well. Could be on Swagbucks' end or it could be that Hyatt has pulled them in order to make changes that will improve the security of the cards and reduce the number of problems users have had in the past year with cards being drained before attempted use. (Longish thread in the Hyatt forum about that.)

Have you tried again or asked Mypoints what happened to your United miles?

I received my miles immediately after redemption. In fact, besides Hertz, all of my United partner miles post well before most of my United flights. It's not like that with any other airline.

You likely entered your number incorrectly.

Heads up on booking IHG

Thru 12/8, book IHG stays thru MyPoints.com's link to IHG.com and get 15 points per dollar. This is the best rebate available for these stays.

Yes. Entered incorrectly. Really want the Hyatt gcs and don't think they are coming back.

I made a large redemption last week, and since then any new emails from MyPoints have not shown a current points amount. It keeps showing up as what I had left after the redemption. To see a current total I have to go to the home page. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else?

It's never the correct amount of points for me, but I haven't bothered to trace back. It's been happening for at least a couple of weeks.

Lots of easy points form nCrave videos right now as companies try to burn through advertising budget leftovers before the new year. Many of them will regenerate a number of times for a user until the number of clickthroughs per day is reached.

The quickest-

Girl in pink leotard- 2 quick slideshows for 5 points
pile of money with sprout in the middle- 2 slideshows for 5 points- may have to stretch browser window to see the next button on smaller screens
woman with headache- 1 quick quiz with no 'wrong' answers for 2 points
aluminum foil balls- 2 quick videos for 5 points- may let run while doing something in another browser tab
brown loaf of bread- 2 quick videos for 5 points- may let run while doing something in another browser tab
basketball player- 2 points for 2 quick videos
soccer player- 3 clickthroughs for 3 points
snowman- 3 videos for 2 points (does not regenerate)
