I've been getting 0 every time myself. Oh well, I'll keep spinning and not winning :)

Seems unfair moving the finish line when you are so close. Hope the 10k award lasts long enough for me to redeem it. I now need 3400 pts more.

Same here. I went to redeem my 5100 points for 2500 United miles and....gone. I hope I can live long enough to earn the 4700 additional I now need to get United miles!!!

I do this almost everyday. I've gotten 3-4 five points, but mostly 0s. I also found out that you can spin more than once a day if you use different computers.

I've tried it pretty much every day since it started and got 5 points just once:( I think I will stop wasting time pretty soon.

My experience is similar to that of FlyerInCmh. I got zeros the first week and then 5 pts in 3 of the past 4 days. Since it doesn't take much longer than clicking through on an e-mail, I'll probably continue to play hoping (but not expecting) to land on one of the larger point awards before the promotion ends.

What is considered a good ratio of spending to points? My best has been the Entertainment Book, which I bought for $20 and got 1500 points. I did it several times and got several books. What was best in the deal was that there were 4 Safeway coupons for $5 each that covered the $20 cost for the book.

It's back again. I've seen it disappear and then reappear before.
I wonder why.

Thanks for the heads up, ss!!! I grabbed it. ^^

I don't like that Mypoints requires you to register your credit card(s) before they show you the merchant list. That makes me think its not worth the trouble.

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.

Everytime I spin that wheel, I get 0 and I can even see the numbers change to 0 as the wheel is spinning. I wrote mypoints and let them know that and asked if it would kill them to give me a few points once in a while for the effort. They of course didn't directly respond to my technical question but did give me 1000 extra entries to the contest.
Regarding the contest, where can I find how many entries I already have? Anyone know?

You know I wasn't paying real close attention to the number of points to redeem for rewards but I could swear that when I got close to redeeming mine, the amount needed went up higher. Now, I believe it did after reading your message.

I got 100 points on the Daily Spin n' Win today... Finally, big points! :)

They just closed my account for a TOS violation. I have no clue why. Email has been sent.

What's a TOS violation?
