MAX reset for me too -- another 5 pts in Flowers/Greetings. Does this mean a BONUS MAX is coming to town??

A thought:
If I were the person at MyPoints controlling Max, and if I were aware of this forum and the Yahoo mailing list, I would put Max somewhere for 5 points all morning, the also put him somewhere else for a brief period of time for a bigger point award. That way the big points would more likely go to those who actually search through the pages to find him, which is what I would be trying to encourage people to do.

Now, I'm confused. Max isn't in Flowers any longer as far as I can tell. I've clicked into it several different ways - refresh - through quicklist - etc. So, I checked the "Visit Websites" page and there is the symbol which is supposed to mean Max is somewhere waiting for us. I then clicked through all the shopping pages... and no Max anywhere.
Has anyone ever found him on a second or later page in a department? (Such as page 2 of Computers, etc).
More to the point - anyone know where he happens to be now that its 3:30 EST?

Same problem as yesterday. The Max symbol appears in the "Earn Points/ Visit Websites" page, which is supposed to be a clear signal that Max is lurking somewhere anxious to hand over our 5 points. Again, I checked every shopping department and could not locate Max.
Anyone having better luck?

Yes, the last week or so it's like you can't nail down Max. Very frustrating. I think I am getting credit for the 5 points. Plus, often the site loads so darn slowly.
