Bonus is until 13th only.
So its gone.
See the following message which is posted earlier.

From a MyPoints email...

If you see Max's image, simply search for him throughout the MyPoints Shopping! pages. Click on Max to earn Points. Max's Point awards vary and he could be worth up to 1,000 Points! From October 28 through December 13, when Max is on the site, his Point value will periodically change. Check in the morning and Max could be worth 5 Points. Check again in the afternoon, he could be worth up to 1,000 Points. Visit MyPoints.com daily to see if Max is making an appearance. You could earn yourself thousands of Points!

Perhaps that should have read "until the 13th" instead of "through Dec. 13th" Max went AWOL on us on the 12th and hasn't been seen since.

I never scored on the big bonus points but I would have enjoyed the 25 points we would have earned from a daily visit from Max between the 13th and today.

I hope that, at least, when we see him again he's finally ditched the Halloween Pirate costume.

Come on back to us Max - only 187 more appearances and I'll have another 1K to convert to HHonors points.

I'm getting concerned about Max. Anyone called the hospitals yet? Maybe he's out doing year end mileage runs.

I don't know what I miss more: that triangle headed bugger of the excitement of checking the S.P.A.M. page and seeing this thread. I figured that since I couldn't make Max apeear the least I could do was bump this thread.

I miss him!

Why not email MyPoints and let them know how much you miss Max?

Maybe if they get enough concern / complaints / get well cards for him from MyPoints members they will track him down... :-)

email is [email protected]

I think the problem is that United Airlines is in bankruptcy. Mypoints being owned by them, can't any longer afford to give away free points.
I've noticed that I haven't received any bonusmail for close to a week now.

I wouldn't worry too much yet. As I recall there wasn't any emails last year right after the holidays.

Wrong. I've received 5 Bonus emails between Christmas Day and this morning.

I think it's just a matter of what the advertisers are paying for. Obviously, there will be more activity during a period of increased shopping, like Christmas.

I would expect to see more bonuses as Valentine's approaches...

OK, so the best I can figure is that max was last seen on 12/12- over one month now! Do we start a pool on the day and time he will reappear, if he ever does! My guess is 1/21 @10 am. I have absolutely no idea why that time and date! Any other takers?

I thought the "where is max" game ended by Christmas! My guess is that there will be a new promotion in the near future.

Max is dead. The end.
