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.

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.
