my account got disabled. i don't know if it was related to this tupperware thing or not, but i'd advise you guys to spend your points quickly. i'm pissed because i had about 5000 points in there before the tupperware offer that i hadn't spent yet.

I've earned the Tupperware thing nine times, plus churned Zappos, Amtrak, and so on, and my account is still open.

It makes me wonder, can they just close accounts with earned points any time they feel like, and not award them? Whatever you might think, just clicking on links to earn all these points for buying tiny gift certificates, is not illegal or against the rules. There is nothing posted about minimum purchase amounts.

But is it ethical for a company to take all your points away, because they feel a few of them you didn't get legitimately? Doing that I think would open them up to lawsuits. Maybe taking away the questionable points while leaving your account open is more proper. But even then, we fullfilled our part by making multiple purchases, even if it's just $1 gift certificates. If they take away the 800 points, they should then give you back the dollar.

I still encounter a faulty "click here to receive your points" link after making my order. This has happened four times to me in total. Frustrating.

But hey, it is not like I am losing anything. I still get to spend my gift certificates later.

Ethical? Probably not. Completely legal? Absolutely. From the MyPoints "Terms of Service:"

- Member agrees not to abuse MyPoints® privileges by conduct which is detrimental to the interests of MyPoints.com...

- MyPoints.com reserves the right to terminate or disable, at MyPoints.com's sole discretion, any MyPoints® membership if MyPoints.com believes such Member has violated or acted inconsistently with the rules of MyPoints® or intent of this Agreement. Member understands and agrees disabling of membership will result in Member's inability to redeem and/or earn Points. Member understands and agrees termination of membership will result in the cancellation of all of Member's Points.

- AT ANY TIME EITHER MEMBER OR MYPOINTS.COM MAY TERMINATE MEMBER'S MEMBERSHIP WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. MEMBER'S RIGHT TO USE MEMBER'S MEMBERSHIP IMMEDIATELY CEASES UPON TERMINATION AND MEMBER'S UNREDEEMED POINTS SHALL BE CANCELLED. (their CAPS not mine)

I agree that its a rotten thing to do - especially if someone has accrued a few thousand miles (and is too dumb to be transfering to another program <points to self> ), but you and I both know that ethics don't always mix with business.

I can verify:

1. #6 does work w/o the jump
2. #9 does NOT work with 258946

Rut Dog

That's odd. #9 as 258946 did indeed work for me, and the points have been posted, to both mine and Mrs. Rut Dog's accounts.

What type of message did you get at the end of your transaction?

I got the "Login into Mypoints" loop.

Did the above two one after the other, the first worked fine.

Hello,
I am new to the boards but have been lurking a while. Long enough to have read about the Tupperware offer and manage to collect 5600 points!

I just wanted to say thank you to those posting info on this topic.

I also wanted to say that I received my Barnes and Noble gift cards today! Less than two weeks wait time, I am quite impressed with the speed.

Also, I know others have run into the perpetual login box. However, on my first time, I tried 7 different banners and after doing 5, the other two came up with the perpetual login.

This also happened to a friend that the Tupperware offer. Five banners and then perpetual login.

I don't believe we clicked on the same ones, and neither of us took very long ordering the $1 gift certs, so I don't think we were logged out for inactivity. Anyhow, just thought I would pass that along.

Thank you again!

I am now disabled, too.
I have been with this site since it opened as Bonus Mail! I hope I can get this reopened.

A quick question... When your account is disabled do you get and e-mail or is there just a message when you try and log-on to your mypoints account?

Just wanting to know and hoping I will never have to see for my self and can learn from others.

Thanks in advance

I just found my account to be disabled this morning. I did not receive an e-mail from them and no explanation. I went to my mail box and clicked on an email from MYpoints to earn pts. by going to the wal-mart vacations site. I did this and got the sign in page, signed in and got the message : your account has been disabled.

I have sent them an e-mail and got an automated email response saying I would hear from them within 48 hrs. I will also try faxing them my driver's license but won't have access to a fax machine till Thursday. I hope this gets cleared up soon, I was anxious to see my points transfered to HH which I requested over the weekend.

I wonder if this has something to do with multiple MyPoints accounts. I was axed by OpinionPlace.com, because they suspected I was submitting surveys for two American Airlines accounts from the same PC for the same household.
So far, with MyPoints, I'm still up and running, even though I've taken advantage of all the unusual free point offers posted here. But one thing I haven't done is use more than one account. It's just one account using one PC.

I had done a transfer last week, too. It DID NOT go through. The reason I know this is that Mypoints sent me an email this morning - even though my account is disabled- (the sponsor kind for 5 points)and my old balance still shows. Nothing was deducted.

I only have one MYpoints account and no one else in my household has a MYpoints account. The only thing I did take advantage of was the Tupperware offers. All other points I earned from reading the emails sent to me from MYpoints. I suspect it is a system error on their part and will wait and see what happens. I emailed them this morning and called them this afternoon but was told to wait for a response to my e-mail. So I will wait 48 hrs. and call them again.

Afraid not. I just explained on the other thread that I got an email explaining I was closed out for using their site in a way that is detrimental to them! I only used the links that were provided by them for tupperware, none that were provided in posts or threads. It was their site that issued points, etc. I certainly did not hack my way through. I don't know if they will listen to reason. I sent them another email.
