If you check carefully, there's ALMOST NO store chains into the "in Store" program, except for Sally Beauty Supply and Jos A. Bank (overpriced men's clothes) .
Most stores listed are specialized travel agents, cruise lines and other travel-related businesses (which may suit quite a few FT Members, but not the regular MyPoints clientéle, like me...).
I'll pass until they start to include REAL store chains that are available in MY neighborhood...

Secondly, this is obviously a new area for MyPoints so, if it's to be successful or not, remains to be seen. Hopefully, as it expands, more stores will be added.
Thirdly, some of us actually like some of the stores involved and shop there.

First of all you receive 100 points for simply signing up. The points load immediately (as pending) and you can simply delete any credit card that you've listed once that happens.

I was all excited today to finally reach the 11,750 available point balance level so I could redeem them for a $100 Banana Republic GC. But alas, they're no longer available. 
I swear they were there a week or so ago when my overall balance was enough but not my redeemable was not. Grr...Hopefully they'll come back. I'll try waiting. I hate not maximizing my point yield!

I just noticed a feature on MyPoints which I never recall seeing before. It is on the right side of the main bar when you log in to the home page and is listed as Daily Spin 'n Win. When you click on it, it brings up a Wheel and you can click and spin and win anywhere from 0 to 10000 points daily. You also get 5 entries for the monthly jackpot of 1,000,000 points. Am I just a dummy that never saw this before, or is this new? I got 5 points, but my wife got zero trying this for the first time.

My Points seems to be adding some new things to their menu and I think that as an overall effort that's good.

Gave it a spin as well
I gave it a spin as well and won 100 points while my spouse got 0.
