500 MyPoints (Hourly)
MyPoints>Shopping>Apparel> Refresh until "ZAPPOS" comes up as banner Ad. Zappos >gift center, > gift certificate. When it says $10 minimum please, I only had $1 and it worked each time yesterday. 500 Mypoints pop up showed each time. I got confirmations and the points posted overnite. PLEASE NOTE: There is also a spot to make a $2.50 donation to the homeless and Zappo's will match. A nice touch you may want to consider. It is slow working this morning so it maybe one day only per person. Good Luck

Did your points show up overnight as expected? I just spent the $1 and will let you know if the points post.
Thank you for this wonderful find!
Did you ship the G.C to yourself?

I'm on board...I figured $1 for a chance to get 500 points PER HOUR is worth a shot...I'll bet this either gets pulled OR doesn't get posted as promised. 24 hours = 12,000 points for $24...that is the perverbial "too good to be true"

OK ... it may be by the rules, but this is a legit merchant. Putting them through the process of $1 charge, $1 gift certificate, and paying Mypoints ~$10 to credit you with 500 points may be technically OK, but ... well, I'll pass on this.

I followed the steps for the e-gift certificate. For kicks I made it out for $0.01 (yes, $0.01). It worked- order placed, and I got the MyPoints pop-up window confirming 500 points would be credited overnight.
We shall see....
Thanks for the find.
