I plead guilty to breaking a vow to quit MyPoints I made a while back but couldn't bring myself to order an Entertainment Book as a gift without getting abything, so shrugged and went through My Points. After a few months more reading emails and the occasional offer finally had enough to order a $10 gift card and thought Sears would be the most useful so a few weeks ago, redeemed what will definately be my last bunch of points. Today, I got my letter from My Points and opened it up to read the fine print on the back of the Sears card that says it's valid only in U.S. or PR. Anyone know if they will take redemptions back should it not work at my local Sears, which I will try tomorrow though optimistic I ain't.

I hereby swear to the SPAM gods that I will forever cease to collect these infernal My Pains in the a** points.

Sorry, MyPoints doesn't take any of their redemptions back. You might try calling Sears and asking them to convert your gift card for you - they have an adequate customer service line..sometimes.

And issue you something else from my mypoints account. PM me if interested.

Says "gift certificate". Does anyone know if it's an e-cert or will I get a plastic one by snail mail? Thanks, all I've ever redeemed before are HH points.

It will be a plastic giftcard by mail.

I may be wrong but I don't think Mypoints offers any gift certificate/giftcard redemption in e-cert format, giving the regular UA miles and HHilton Points as non-GC redemptions.

The only e-redemption that comes to mind is for giftcertificates.ca -- the Giftpass code is given instantly (don't even have to wait for an email). Basically good for our Canadian neighbors only as giftcertificates.ca will not ship outside of Canada. As I learned...

Thanks guys.
