I received an email offer today to get 750 bonus MP miles, but when I tried to join it wouldnt accept my MP # (I am guessing because its in CO OP format)

No, it's not just you. These have become more and more prevalent as time goes on. It used to be, when I first signed up many years ago, that not receiving 5 points for a click thru was rare. Now it is almost the norm. Still, a point is a point is a point. In the beginning I also did not do the surveys. Stupid me. Now, that is the way I get the majority of my points. Still I am able to redeem for 5000 miles a year.

As a MyPoints member since 2001, I remember the "good old days" when 99% of emails were 5 points to click through, as well as the bonus offers in the emails often being really attractive as well. These days it's "get 500 points for joining Jillian Michaels Online" and other such nonsense.

I get a much higher proportion than one in six; I would say one in three, maybe even one in two. Perhaps you are underestimating (or exaggerating how bad it really is).
Also, you say "the rest are pure garbage." Even the surveys??? Even when I disqualify, I get 10 points; and fairly often, I get the full 50 (or 75 or whatever) points from surveys.
Anyhow, we're beating a dead horse here....

Under "My Alerts" last week I received the following message:
You're one of MyPoints top members, so stay tuned your rewards are getting amped up! Watch out for an email with more details.
Did anyone else get this? Have you received the email yet?

I got this; however, the only way they will likely amp up rewards is by making them cost more points.
