5 MyPoints
 
There is a new 5 point link at Mypoints. Go to "Shopping",click on "new merchants" and you should see what I can only describe as "Triangle Man" circling around the page. Click and get 5 points. I don't know if they will change this daily.

I could not find "triangle man". Maybe he is one of those moving targets....

maple Jun 13, 2001 6:40 pm

Rather elusive "triangle" person I must say... slipped through me too! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Tomas Jun 13, 2001 7:43 pm

Wow, 5 points. I think I'll spend a few hours trying to find "triangle man."

Well,"Triangle Man" is indeed gone. If MyPoints thinks that the thought of receiving 5 pts. by visiting all there shopping sites in pursuit of an elusive point opportunity will icrease traffic, they will be sadly mistaken. I am very disappointed with this one. Not worth the time or bother. I did at least visit their different sites through the daily tour, and sometimes I signed up for offers, and I feel that this was more productive and valuable to both the members and Mypoints.

What about authorizing them to send you junk mail? I was tempted to use a California zip code for my Ohio address just to ensure it got sent back http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

According to the Mypoints web site his name is "Max" and hek'll be appearing randomly in shopping through the summer. He was in new merchants again this morning. Personally I like the name Triangle Man better.

fly4free Jun 15, 2001 9:27 am

Thank you travellover. He is still in new merchants at 11:25 eastern

birdiebob Jun 15, 2001 10:44 am

Ah! I found my Mr. Triangle window-shopping and parachuting around "New Merchants" too! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

melanie Jun 15, 2001 5:32 pm

FYI - Triangleman still in New Merchants as of 7:15 EST. However when I clicked on him I picked up 25 points. A nice bonus.

general45 Jun 15, 2001 8:26 pm

Just checked out shopping and picked up my 25 pts. Now thats a lot better!

abercrombie4me Jun 15, 2001 10:02 pm

The blue screen said I'd get 25 miles too; I'll wait till I see 'em post to celebrate!

Has anyone tried to get this reward more than once? (you'll notice it says that you can get the reward once every 24 hours).

I was wondering if it moves based on how many times you clicked it.

ElvisNYC Jun 16, 2001 11:10 am

Still in new merchants.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

eperaltaotero:

That's what I'm getting .. I guess we only get 5 points after finding him the first time.

In sports Sat. @ 1:17PM -- gave me 10 points (fast click = more points?)

ElvisNYC Jun 23, 2001 8:31 pm

cat333, i doubt fast click=more points. I think the # of points given depends on the level of difficulty to find Max. But who knows ??

humphrse Jun 26, 2001 1:22 pm

Has anyone seen Max recently ??

maple Jun 26, 2001 2:23 pm

Max has been axed from excessive Stair Master. He probably died of a massive heart failure.

I search every link on Shopping this morning including all secondary pages, but he was no where to be found.

MRKEY Jun 26, 2001 6:01 pm

Max is still on Sports..got him early this morning!
