an apology to MyPoints
Recently, I've slagged MyPoints on some FT threads about the overly long time it takes points for purchases to post. In the past year, I've had to harass them for points that took almost 2 months to post. But on 27 April, I bought an entertainment book through the offer on MyPoints and was surprised to see the points today, just over a week later! So, I guess I owe and apology to MyPoints. I just hope the trend continues...

I, too, have noticed that MyPoints is doing better. Although, I no longer buy as much through them because of past experience and hassles. E-rewards is the one who I have problems with. Their slowness in posting (as long as 2 months after I've taken a survey) caused me to miss out on the AAdvantage miles.

No apology needed
You should not have to apologize to someone when they do their job. Their job is to reward you with these points and until they do it consistently, they deserve the many emails. If you don't do your job and get chewed out by the boss, or if you have someone working under you where this happens, you don't get an apology or give one to your worker when they do the job the next time. This is their job. They are supposed to give us the points when we earn them. There should be no apologies given when someone does not do the job they are paid to do.
