Videos on MyPoints
 
About a week or two ago, I got an email from MyPoints that contained a link to register to view video ads for points through MyPoints. I registered, and was able to watch 5 videos a day for three points each for several days. After watching the video, you had to enter two numbers that showed on the edge of the video while viewing in order to get the points. I went to a link that I thought was in the "Easy Points" section of the MyPoints website, but I can no longer find the link.
Can anyone post a link to the "video viewing" option, as it was an easy way to pick up an extra 15 MyPoints a day? Or hav they taken it out of the options? Swagbucks had similar videos available, but I haven't seen such a link through them either in the last several days, although Inbox Dollars still seems to have such a link.

Does anything show up in your browser history section? If you clicked on one link and can remember when, it may be there.

Did you get any points to actually post? I watched 45 points worth of videos and nothing as posted to my account...

Looks like this is the same company (AdGenesis) that InboxDollars uses. You get InboxDollars credit within a few minutes of watching videos there...

Oh, and the link is available on the "Free & Easy" page:

Thanks for posting the link. Hopefully the points will post. The weekly statement shows "Clickthru" without any points being credited yet, and just shows one "Clickthru" for each time I go to the videos and watch 5 videos at 3 points each. So far I am looking for 60 points on my account and 60 points for Mrs. Cornroaster, so I hope they post. I haven't had any problems with the videos crediting on either InBox Dollars or Swagbucks, so I hope these post on MyPoints as well.

Still waiting for my video points to post, but the few seconds it takes is no skin off my back. I'll give it a few weeks.

Not to get too far off topic, these are now listed under Ad Rewards in the Special Offers section of Swagbucks.

Interestingly enough, I think its the same 3rd party provider company.

It is. Beezag is all over the place and partnering with a ton of other sites.

Received an email from MyPoints, stating that if you purchase a $75 Marriott TravelCard, you'll receive 500 points.

Yup. Too bad I'm a SPG kinda guy! :)

I'd say >50% of the emails I'm getting now are not the five points for clicking type. I'm pretty careful to avoid these. I'm not giving them advertisers' dollars if they're not sharing the love.

Has anyone received the Video Rewards points? I've received a few, but mostly they're not posting. When I look at the most recent 3 months of account history, it shows the points as pending, but (unlike most pending points), it doesn't seem as if they been added to my points total. Frustrating. tls

MyPoints Holiday Bonus Points. Earn up to 3,000 Points.
 

From November 1 to December 31, 2011, make a purchase from any qualified MyPoints merchant noted by the gift box icon.
For all purchases made during this promotion period, you will receive Bonus Points for the total dollars spent.
The "Holiday Bonus Points" tiers are as follows:

>> Spend $100 or more and receive 250 Bonus Points.
>> Spend $250 or more and receive an additional 500 Bonus Points.
>> Spend $500 or more and receive an additional 500 Bonus Points.
>> Spend $750 or more and receive an additional 750 Bonus Points.
>> Spend $1,000 or more and receive an additional 1,000 Bonus Points.
>> If you complete all spending thresholds, you could earn up to 3,000 Bonus Points.

Bonus Points will be awarded 30-60 days after the promotion end date — December 31, 2011.
MyPoints requires all merchant sales and returns to post before we can award Bonus Points.
A one-time holiday bonus award will be awarded 30-60 days after the promotion ends
a $1000 amex gift card will net you 4000 points, worth roughly $23 (or $21 toward a $25 paypal credit), a better return than the $15.68 you get from bigcrumbs, although you have to wait longer.

I'm missing a whole bunch of points from them too.
