MyPoints Holiday Post
Is it just me? I purchased many purchases through the mypoints website to qualify for bonus points based on spending. Only two posted correctly. I finally got one purchase from November to post after emailing and finally faxing, but they posted it to January. Should I *think* they will know to count this in the Nov/Dec bonus calculation? I have requested the fax number (since I no longer have it) to send proof of purchases but I get no response. Does anyone have it handy? Does anyone have similar experience with this special holiday promotion?
Thank you everyone!

Oh-oh. I spent about $300 through my points in December and none of the points have posted yet. I think I read that they have 20 days to post, so i haven't contacted them yet. I may be a bit early for the bonus points, since the promo ran through 12/31.
There have been some negative things said about MyPoints on the boards. I hope we have good luck.

I was planning on making a spread sheet of my purchases so when they post the additional points at the end of February I can see if they have it correct. I don't have their fax #, but the phone number is:
415/676-3700. Good luck.

Now that the holidays are over, I was trying to follow up on my points purchases too, but I've misplaced the rules and couldn't find an answer on their webiste. Could someone please tell me the exact shopping dates?
Thanks in advance!

The qualifying period was 11/01 to 12/31. Good luck though. I think 5 of my 8 purchases did not post and I've had to send photocopies of my purchases. Since the more you spent the more your point multiplier was I'll believe it when I see them post. They make it so hard to get these points! It's almost not worth it. (Note I said almost...)

MyPoints is without a doubt the worst of the shopping portals that are availabe to us and I avoid them at all costs. Of course I had to find this out the hard way. There customer service is a joke. They treat us like adversaries and do everything they can to make it difficult for us. They just don't get it!!! Some one needs to explain to them that while we (the customer) may be a pain in the ... that without us they don't have a company or a job. This is just my opinion but you are asking for frustration in dealing with them.
