Does anyone know if Costco gift cards are ever offered as a reward through MyPoints? I know they have a Costco membership certificate worth $55 for 7,000 MP redemption. We are going to Hawaii in the fall and would consider redeeming for Costco gift cards if they ever off them. Otherwise I will look at the Safeway gift cards.

I have not seen them offered, just the membership being offered as a reward.

Consider sending a message to MyPoints CS to suggest they start offering Costco gift cards as a reward.

I may do that. One reason they may not is because anyone with a Costco gift card can make purchases at Costco even if they don't have an active membership.

Dishonest survey providers at My Points- Opinion Sphere

There have in the past been dishonest survey providers at My Points who failed on a regular basis to award points earned. The one with the flags at one time was awful about that, but finally got honest.

Over the last week or so, however, the most prolific provider of surveys has started playing that fraudulent game - Opinion Sphere. You go through their usual battery of qualifying questions, and instead of a survey or the ''Another Point Earning Oppotunity'' page, it gives you a new page that says you are ''not eligible to complete the survey'' (i.e. did not qualify) and never sends you to any page that gives you the 10 points for a non-qualifier. Further this page does not even register on your acccount that you attempted the survey.

Opinion Sphere have become scam artists. Why is My Points allowing them to continue to perpertrate this fraud upon members?

You should email MyPoints about them. The more complaints they receive, hopefully something proactive might get done.

This is happening to me too, but only when I use a desktop or laptop. When I use my iPhone, I still get the 10 points. tls

I did this for 4,000 points a couple weeks back. Though the prior offer didn't have the requirement to play at least one cash game, just make a deposit of $10. Wish I has waited.

Still waiting on 2,500 UA to post. It has been about a month and a half now or around there. Customer service says to wait 7-10 days as they investigate.

Totally different experience for me. I'm still waiting for the miles from a redemption Jan. 10. The previous UA redemption took months, too.
