I was getting ready to redeem some points and noticed the number of points had increased on almost all of the rewards. For example:
2,500 UA miles went from 5,100 to 5,200
5,000 UA miles went from 10,000 to 10,100
Many other rewards also went up by a hundred points each.
The newest change makes the 5,000 mile award an even better alternative to the 2,500 mile award.

Ah man, that stinks. They are nickel and diming us to death.
On Apr 6 I redeemed 10k Mypoints for 5k UA miles; guess I got in just under the wire. tls

There are actually many stores at MyPoints that earn you more points than through MileagePlus. There are also many stores at MyPoints that do not exist at MileagePlus. I have been happily earning points through MyPoints since 2002.

Sure you might have crediting issues with MyPoints, but they are more customer friendly with resolving missing points than having to wait months and send numerous emails to resolve missing miles for Vesdia's owned MileagePlus and AAdvantage Shopping sites.

You might verify with the 40 people to see if the signed up, and if they did, and MyPoints doesn't credit you, then I'd advise contacting MyPoints CS.

I'm not referring (no pun intended) to the Refer-A-Friend program (which is what I believe you are referencing), I'm talking about the Dealshare program (up in the big orange menu bar, between Rewards and Local). It says you get 5 points for sharing a specific deal (of which there are probably hundreds.. pages and pages of them), either via Facebook or an e-mail. I can't find any terms and conditions about the Dealshare program, or mention of it in the Help section.

I steer clear of the Mileage Plus shopping portal, as they are owned by Vesdia [now known as Cartera Commerce], the same company that operates the AAdvantage Shopping site, and it has been a nightmare trying to fight Vesdia for missing mileage credit for not only myself, but many others... at least this has been the case for the AAdvantage Eshopping site, and thus I am avoiding the MileagePlus shopping site.

Hi
are there any MyPoint offers that are easy to do ?
the only one that seems to be money I spend anyway is the Ebay 2 points per $1 spent but that will take a long time before i get to 5200 miles so I can redeem them for 2500 United miles.
I searched my old mail and I was never offered the Starbucks 500 miles on the last page or anything else except the 750 miles for refer a friend ,
Can I refer myself on another email account ?
Thanks for your help

If you refer yourself on another account you risk losing both accounts. I guess it's a risk/reward question but these people are very good at detecting that kind of behavior and for good reason. It threatens their business model.
But MyPoints is a great program just as it is. If you just do the toolbar searches, click the emails you get and fill out surveys, even if they're "scdnq" (survey complete: did not qualify), you still get some points.
Case in point: I've been with MyPoints for over a decade (since I was 17). I've earned 108,000+ points. It's not a great benefit, but $300 at banana republic, two free hotel nights at hilton (when they had that as a redemption) and $150 via paypal is a good return for less than 5 minutes a day. (that's by my poor person math)
