can't sign up as new mypoints member
I've been trying to sign up as a new mypoint member for a few days now. Everytime, I press the "join now" button, the page keeps loading but never actually finished loading. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks

I've used Fatwallet for years. They are great and never miss anything. You can get an email when things are ready for collection and have it sent to your Paypal account almost immediately.
However, they recently reduced their Priceline commission from 3% to 2%. I asked them if Priceline reduced it or just them. They are going to check this for me.
Fatwallet is great. Does any other site pay more than 2% to link to Priceline?

I still think the Entertainment Books are the best deal with My Points. Although the value of these books has gone down quite a bit over the past few years, I can always manage to at least get my purchase price out of the book, if not a little bit more, and at the same time receive anywhere from 750 to 1500 points per book.
I have bought 6 books this year at prices ranging from $12.50 to $22.50, and have saved about $200 from the 6 books combined. Furthermore, the 6 books were worth 5500 points with My Points.

I think they're not doing points for Entertainment Books any more. I needed one from a different city and spent quite some time on MyPoimts trying to order it but couldn't find it, and the little browser popup doesn't pop on the entertainment.com site. Sad to see this one gone.

One of the most annoying things lately at MyPoints is how they recycle their surveys, continuously sending out ones that you have already participated in. Of course, they don't tell you that or give you any way to know until after you have anwered the questions and it gives you a screen that you have already participated and cannot reenter. Of course the icon you clicked to start the process says ''if you click and do not qualify, you will receive 10 points'' but these flimflam artists do not honor that and give you no points. They need to either 1) quit recycling the surveys, or 2) honor their promise to give to the 10 points if you answer the questions on the recycled survey, or 3) tell you that it is a recycled survey before you waste your time on it. To operate in an honest manner, they need to do one of these three things.

However, you didn't say whether you were trying to purchase a 2010 or a 2011 book, nor did you mention which city you were looking for.
Since the 2010 books are at/near the end of their lifecycle, the city you wanted may have already been sold out.
The 2011 books are now available for purchase. (I usually check a few different rebate sites to see which one is currently offering the best deal.)

Normally when that happens, you should get kicked back to the Mypoints homepage with the message "This Offer Already Taken"

Just speculation on my part. I am still able to get a lot of free points through click-thrus. While MyPoints isn't as good as it once was, it's still a pretty good program.

If this happens, just keep your SurveyMail email in a pending folder and after 30 days email CS saying you completed the survey but weren't credited. They almost always credit you 10 points for your efforts. Be sure to include the SurveyMail number (at the bottom of the email) in your CS request.
It may not be worth it for 10 points, but when I started noticing points not posting, I created a Pending folder and as points post (to MyPoints, AAdvantage eShopping, etc) I move them out. It doesn't really take any effort on my end...

Going to be in New York for a while early month month and wanted to redeem some points for stores that don't appear in my home town.
No matter what I put in, it refuses point blank to accept any address in New York. Just tells me that it's "not a valid US Postal Address"
No problems with Florida, California etc.

MyPoints Rewards Visa
It appears that MyPoints has added a new Visa card to replace the old Washington Mutual card that was dropped after Chase took over WaMu a couple of years ago. Doesn't look like anything special.
1. 2000 bonus points after initial two purchases.
2. No annual fee.
3. 2 points per $ at gas stations and grocery stores, 1 point per $ on other purchases.
4. Issued by World Financil Capital Bank.
