The end of Mypoints?
 

From the mypoints site:

Check back soon...
We're currently performing scheduled maintenance to our system. Rest assured --- we'll be back and better than ever shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Impending doom or temporary update?

I can see for miles and miles...

I don't think it's the end of MyPoints. They tend to do this sort of thing often. I'd "check back soon" (and I will -- gotta get my 10 points for the day!).

If it is the "end", I won't be pleasd; I have over 13,000 points I need to redeem!

I wouldn't worry about the site being down; it's happened before. Their stock is a bit up (yes, I realize everything's relative) this week and they've been very active lately.

Of course, companies have been known to go out with a blast http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Give it a few hours

Don't panic (yet) ... the site is back up and I received my 10 daily tour points.

------------------
He who dies with the most miles ... is dead.

I would highly suggest that anyone with greater than 1,000 points should redeem immediately.

FWIW, I have received nothing but FREE items and excellent service from MyPoints thusfar! And I presently have "quite a few" unredemmed points! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Hope they can keep it up! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I have also received excellent service, a few Target certs and gas cards with no problem at all from mtpoints.

10 points for a daily visit? Guess I haven't seen it - if someone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I get plenty of points by viewing the sites included in the e-mail every couple days, but certainly not daily.

This is in the bottom right hand corner of the start page on mypoints:

Shop for movies, music and more and get Points. Visit Music & Entertainment for 10 Points.

Go Browns!

You get emails every couple of days?? I haven't gotten an email in a VERY LONG TIME! I have updated the settings multiple times, but still don't get any.

hhhmmmmm....

I got a 10 pointer e-mail from them today. I usually get 5 or 6 a week. I'm still optimistic about this site.

It might be living on the edge, but would not go down anytime soon.

Just redeemed 1500 points for 1000 Alaska miles. I beat the June 1 deadline for redemption level increases. And this gives me enough Alaska miles for a ticket.

Points have certainly slowed down with Mypoints, but by no means have they dried up. The month of May has had decent earning opportunities.

23,000 airline miles, $900 in hotel certificates, and 3000 Hilton points in the past 18 months. I concur with Doc. Mypoints has given me plenty of free stuff without a whole lot of time investment.

I just received a gas card I redeamed from mypoints on Thursday, it was mailed friday and made it to CA today. They seem to be ok for now at least.

I only redeem My Points for Hilton points, and I do so every time I earn enough for the transaction. The points usually post to my account within a week.

I think it's funny that every time a website goes down for maintenance or some other reason (net congestion anyone?) that someone proclaims the death of yet another dot.com. I haven't been able to access the MBNA Bank website all day today. They must have gone out of business! Maybe this means I won't have to pay my Mastercard bill!
