i actually got my miles for joining mypoints credited dec 21, 2005. talk about fast! wow. so i called today and didn't realise it as i was expecting it for 2006. hmm. anyways so much for that. time to unsubscribe there.

I still love my points!

I tried to redeem points but I didn't see any rewards listed last night.

Be careful making large purchases. My girlfriend made 3 large purchases of makeup in January and February. All of the Mypoints posted to her account. She redeemed for Hilton points in March, but they never posted to her Hilton account. Yesterday and today all of the points from the purchases were reversed. She has emailed Mypoints and is waiting for a reply.

I did those 'instant' points under the 'in the spotlight' and they still have posted. I also have plenty of pending points. Enough to cash in for HH. I lost quite a lot with click rewards previously.

Soooo, what equivalent yet-to-be-declining programs are out there. I haven't been keeping up lately.

harummpf
 

well i would like some info from My Points!! I always get various emails from the airlines updating me on the schemes and plans going on...why not mypoints? maybe they don't want us to freak out? I have been hoarding points for a while now, no good reason, just thinking i would cash out in gift caards come christmas...I don't convert them to hilton points cuz god knows I have enough of THOSE....well, hey christmas in May might not be such a bad idea??

ITTIA

I redeemed points for a $50 Macy's card on 4/11.
It was postmarked 4/19 and arrived on 4/22.
So this is one transaction that appears to go smoothly at MyPoints.

Wow i haven't redeemed with MyPoints lately and built up around 8k points. Points have devalued so much. $50 used to be 5K points, then went up to 5250, then 5750, and now 6250? :(

Mypoints has definitely devalued their points, but it's still worth it for me. I've never had any problems redeeming Barnes and Noble or Webcertificate gift certs, although they usually don't arrive in the mail until well after I've forgotten that I ordered them.

What's up with MyPoints?
 

I have redeemed my points for Hilton points several times in the past. My DH finally got enough points in his account to get 2500 Hilton points, which we did about a month ago. We share a joint Hilton account, and he had no problem getting his points to transfer, but when I tried last week to redeem mine for Hiltons , I got an error message, saying another member has that account number. I've tried twice to get an answer, but all I get is the auto reply. :confused:

just now i got an invitation by united to join mypoints. as a rule of thumb i've avoided these consumer driven sharing schemes, what gives, was mypoints for real, or was this a United marketing vehicle as user community investment similar to News Corp. buying myspace?

anyhow, i came here to look up this mypoints crap that united spammed me with and came across this thread. thanks guys.
