had the same thing happen to me this week the 5000 then 5100 for 2500 UAL miles dissapeared only 5o more earned but not yet redemable pts to go. I now need 10k not 5.1K for a 5K award. 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.

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.

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.
Regarding the contest, where can I find how many entries I already have? Anyone know?
