BYE BYE Ebay points
just got this email from MyPoints,,,,,,
Starting June 16, 2011, you will no longer be able to earn Points through eBay. eBay has decided to take a temporary break from advertising with companies who offer consumers a reward for shopping, like MyPoints. This will not affect pending Points or Points you have already earned by shopping with or joining eBay.
We're sorry for any short-term inconvenience this may cause and will let you know when we can offer Points on your eBay purchases.
As a special bon voyage, shop eBay via MyPoints through June 15, 2011 and you'll get Double Points! Plus, make 2 or more purchases and earn a one-time, 200-Point bonus.
And don't forget that many of the items you currently purchase through eBay may be available from other Double Points partners like Walmart, Overstock.com or others in our 1,000+ merchant network.
And I just started using them.......Ohh Well......

5 point bonusmail offers done????
Of the last 10 bonusmail emails I have received from Mypoints, only 2 or 3 have offered 5 points for clicking on the email.
Have other people been experiencing something similar? If this becomes the new norm, the value of Mypoints will drop significantly...

I hadn't paid attention to whether or not the emails offered 5 points for clicking. However, going through the ones I have waiting, I see that of the 3, only 1 offers 5 points.

I'm getting far more 5-points e-mails than no-points bonus ones. The latter seem to come in cycles with an uptick in the past week. But the others haven't slowed down for me.

the pattern continued today where 75% of the emails didn't offer 5 points
please DONT click on these - if advertisers don't get enough clicks, Mypoints will be forced to start giving 5 points again for these Bonusmails

I have also noticed the increasing number of no point emails. But there is even something worse going on.
I have been receiving about once a day a duplicate email of one received earlier. They promise points but clicking on them produces nothing. I would say I have had at least a dozen of those this month alone. There is no way to tell in advance if points will post by clicking on one of the "duplicate" emails.
Keep your eyes open for those.

I just clicked on a survey mail advertising the opportunity to complete 5 surveys for 65 points each. I clicked on it and it basically bunched together at least 5 survey opportunities. I completed 2 of them and did not qualify for multiple others and after each one there was no opportunity to exit, it just started in to another survey. I can only take doing surveys on a computer for so long but I did not want to close the window for fear of losing the points I had already accumulated. Finally after almost 2 hours there was no more opportunities but it did not redirect to mypoints or anything. I did not get credited for the 2 surveys I completed. Very odd. I have contacted Mypoints asking for points and I will never do another mypoints survey after that experience.

I got a total of 7 survey emails today and qualified for none of them, so a quick 70 points. And two emails with 5 points. People shouldn't be upset about the phasing out of the 5 point clicks because you can still make points very easily without much effort.

While I didn't click on the link in the email, it was useful information and I will be ordering stuff from Overstock tonight due to the free shipping.
