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....

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

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.

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.
