I've never gotten an email for Costco; found the deal through Google. As long as your membership has lapsed, you can take advantage of the deal. I've done this 2-3x.

I don't know what genius decided to change the entire site in the middle of the holiday season. They are trying to make it a clean and simple looking site now, but the problem is that it's hard to figure out what you are supposed to click on to get where you want to go.
The list of retailers don't show the points available for each one anymore. You have to click on it to get that that information. I also don't see where it shows a total of pending points. When you click on available points, it lists your activity which shows the pending ones, but not just a total.
I never understood why companies redesign websites to make them even more complicated to use. Mypoints prefers form over function I guess.

I don't know if that was how the redesigned site appeared earlier, though, as this is my first chance to look at it.
What I can't find, however, is the dates the pending transactions each become redeemable.

Double points on almost everything (??) until the 11th. Just got an email about it
Double Points starts December 4, 2014 at 11:00 am Pacific Time and ends December 11, 2014 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
The Point offers you see on site are already doubled if the merchant is part of the promotion.
Excludes Travel partners, Games and offers that are not Points per dollar offers.

Was the new MyP page designed by Microsoft? It suspiciously looks like the Windows 8 look a lot of people hate (just check MSN's pages, which are done in same fashion)...

It looks like they changed the BonusMails too. No longer does it show if a click through qualifies for 5 points at the top of the e-mail. You now have to scroll all the way to the bottom to determine if they BonusMail is worth clicking through or just deleting.

I agree the new site layout is horrible, and changing over during what should be peak season is really dumb.
Fortunately there are other shopping portals out there that haven't gone goofy.

Surveys have been 100 points for some time now (I think that ends Dec. 11). Finally qualified for 1 today. 100 points a pop is worth the time, since I'm close to the award I want; when it's worth 50, I usually just take the 10 for being dq'ed. tls

Interesting that you've never gotten an email. I had one in September and November, but didn't act quickly enough. tls
