MyPoints Dads&Grads: quick points
---------
Edit: this looked like it had potential because several folks snagged points quickly on their first tries. Experience documented in this thread suggests that the odds of getting the 25-point consolation prizes are low. I have done three tries daily since starting this thread 19 days ago and have received 25 point consolation prizes 4 out of those 76 attempts, a success rate of 5.3%.
---------
The new daily insta-win game replacing the Mom's Day is Dad's and Grads.
When you don't win, it gives the usual double points offer to something.
However, play again, up to two more times. Your consolation prize can be 25 points. I just got that twice, a quick 50 points. T&C says they'll post in 10 days.

Thanks for the heads up! I supposedly won 75 points, (25 after each game). Hopefully they'll post. I wasn't sure I had gotten a thing after getting the "sorry..." message, but you need to click the next button. Then, in small type on the right side, it says that you will be awarded 25 points for playing. That was a quick 75 points, so thanks ZeppoX!

Anyone not receive points
I have had it say I won points a couple of times but don't see the points. I won 3 times over 10 days and yet only one has posted. Anyone else see the same thing? I know it takes 10 days to post but I would think I would see something "Pending points" or some indication that I won.

I've never one any points in any of the MyPoints games like this (Christmas, Mother's Day, or this most recent Dads and Grads). I read the rules carefully to see what the odds are... not very good.
They have a randomly selected time of day that the points will be awarded. If you are the next to play immediately AFTER that time then you win. Otherwise, you get the double points "prize".
After seeing the value of the points and the total value of ALL prizes added up (less than $5k), I figured it's not really even worth my time.

Edit your posts and I will update the score so we can see whether it's worth the trouble to try it on a daily basis.
