Received 1,005 points this morning. That bonus period doesn't last very long!

Ratz - I just checked back in and see I missed the window. It appears to me that Max is only doing the extra points once a day, does that sound correct to everyone? So there would be no point in me obsessively checking in every half hour or so to see if there is a new bonus.

Congrats to all who nabbed him for 1,000!

I'm pretty sure he is worth 250, 500, and 1000 pts during each of 3 short bonus periods. So, if you missed
the 1000 pts, you'd still have a chance at 250 or 500 if those haven't happened yet.

Has anyone ever seen Max give out the big bonus points more than once a day? I think that this message I received suggests that it is only once a day and for only one of the three bonus levels:

"Sorry! Biblioman, you've already earned this 5-Point award today. If he hasn't already, Max might offer a Bonus Award later today, so check back! If you miss the Bonus Award today, try again when Max appears next. (The Bonus Award is only available for a short time each day Max appears, then he goes back to 5 Points.) "

Biblioman, yes, that seems to be the case -- Max only doles out generously for a quick (10 minute?) window during the day.

Perhaps other experience will show differently, but by all accounts so far, he's only in a holiday mood once a day (and only on weekdays).

I just checked in books/media and was advised that I already got my points today. How can that be, this is the first time I've gone to MP in more than 24 hours.

Any ideas out there?

Max seems to have disappeared entirely as of 7:45 PM EST. At least I can't seem to find him anymore.

One of these days I swear I'm going to get one of those bonuses!!!!

Wow! First time using MyPoint I hit the BIG 1000. Maybe I can go 2 for 2.
