I have been receiving emails from My Points - BUT there is no place to click on them to get credit. (... earn 5 points for reading this email...)
I have 3 accounts (I know), and it is the same on all of them. Yes, some have a place to click for credit, but 80-90% of the emails do not!

I haven't had problems with the points posting, or with receiving emails. The only problem I've had has been with purchase points posting, as I placed two different orders with barnes and noble, and neither one has posted yet.

I've been getting emails, too...probably not as many as before. The only difference seems to be that, instead of "Show Me", a red box says "Get Points". I even managed to get 2500 Hilton points! Jean

I have updated my profile and I continue to receive mails. My points are also posting almost instantly. Off late I have had troubles redeeming points.

Too bad MyPoints doesn't have an option for which types of emails it sends you.

I've been getting about 2-3 emails per day and the points post immediately. Haven't purchased anything yet.
I did note that on the profile section there were more categories to provide info about. It could have something to do with the number of emails being received. Has the OP updated his profile with the additional info (you can also get bonus points for this)?

Interesting. I haven't had any problems, and have been receiving more emails than I did before the change. I'm using Hotmail, and have no problems seeing the button to click to get the points, and the points post immediately. I like the new format.
