Since I was in a hotel room with VPN, I thought that was the problem, but it persisted when I got home. I clicked the forgot password link, got an email with link to change it, and that solved the problem.

It worked when I did the reset, but when I tried to log in again, I got the same error message.

Holiday Inn is also a 15 points per dollar promotion right now for me.

"Max M, as far as I know the Marriott gift cards will not be restocked. I'll pass your feedback along with regards to reconsidering that and adding Hyatt."

So maybe if enough FT'ers express that they'll switch portals or drop MyPoints completely unless hotel gift cards are a redemption option, maybe, just maybe, they'll offer them again.

Otherwise, this isn't good news. :(

I contacted them with feedback saying I really liked the Marriott cards and hoped they'd be restocked soon.

Got a response saying that Marriott had pulled them as rewards, and MyPoints didn't think they'd be back in the foreseeable future. :(

I just found this, too! I bet it's for everybody! Does anyone know the end date?

That's very disappointing, especially with the points hike they just did for many reward redemption. :(

A shame that there's now no "pure" hotel redemption option--- one could redeem for a Groupon gift card for a Groupon Getaway, but those stays don't earn points for stays at chains with reward programs.

Well maybe others here can also voice their concern to MyPoints to put more pressure on them to get Marriott Gift Cards back. [or other chains]

I can't remember when, maybe a few months ago, I emailed them asking if they could ad IHG points as a reward. The CS rep responded by saying that s/he'd forward to the relevant people. tls

MyPoints did offer Marriott Rewards years ago, so maybe they'll consider IHG points.

Has anyone noticed that suddenly the bonus 5 pt emails expire much sooner than in the past? It seems like I only get a few days to click on the links rather than the week, or more, I used to get. I've noticed it on the surveys too, but it's not quite as obvious, or short.

I just noticed this too after going through my MyPoints emails from the past week. In the past they used to be good for about three weeks, this latest batch had expiration dates of five to seven days. The Surveys have had short expiration dates on them for quite a while now. So much so that most of mine expire before I get to them.
