  • Reward sites

    Does anyone here belong to reward site such as getting point for something then being able to spend the points? I am at reward tv and it seems like it's taking forever to build up my points and some of the prizes are decent, they do have an x-box or a playstation too but you need a couple million points to get those in the auction. If you do currently use such sites what are they and are they easy to build up points? Would you reccomend them? Thanks for sharing with me!!

    here is the one i use if anyone wants to look at it

      I like www.mypoints.com. Points add up pretty slowly, but make sure you sign up for all types of email from them, most are worth 5 points. They are quick to send rewards generally... I save the gas cards I get from them for family vacations. It isn't much on it's own, but,as with most things, every little bits helps. Glad to answer questions.. taxchyk@yahoo. Most of the other programs have slipped so far in the past few years that I don't do them anymore. Had tons of points from www.milesource.com, then they devalued them so far that the vacation I was planning (within 1 month) suddenly cost nearly twice as much in points, and years seem too long to wait!

        I also use mypoints and love them, if you have dial up you can down load aol and people pc for new accounts and you earn 2000 points. I did that several times when I had dial up. I usually get the home depot card. Had a problem once receiving it and emailed them and had it within a week.

            I signed up for Mypoints, but I don't really have the time to spend on it.

              The best thing about mypoints in my opinion, is that if you sign up for all their emails you get 5 points for each. With little effort you soon have enough points to do something with.

                memolink does the same 3 points for clicking on 2 ads plus they give out daily surveys for alot of points.... and you can actually cash them in for gift cards n such!

                  If you're already on mypoints, how do you sign up for emails?

                  What do you all think about clubmom.com?

                    I believe it's part of your profile. I don't know if they're still having issues, but Memolink at one point was taking over a year to fulfill award requests. I am a member of Clubmom, but only have a small number of points...

                        I don't like memolink. Granted you can earn points like a pp said by clicking on e-mails & visiting sites ect. I totally forgot about it & the e-mails had gotten tossed into my junk folder & when I finally logged in ALL my points were gone. I e-mailed them 2x & got no reply!

                        But I do like mypoints it does take an awful long time by just doing the 5pts for e-mails but I did get some gc's to TRU

                            I just started with Club Mom. I registered my grocery bonus card with them, and get points everytime I shop. It takes maybe 2000 points for a $10 gc, though.

                            They also have points when you shop online, 10 pts per $ for drugstore.com. I've been trying to calculate out the points/costs for a gift card versus the cashback at rebates sites like eBates.

                            I will admit, I've succumbed to the temptation a few times, just make one purchase and there will be enough points for a grocery g/c...


                            Anyone find a better way to earn points with them?

                              How do you do that without messing up your ISP account? Sounds like a neat idea, but I'm worried I would mess up my current account.

                              Are you getting all these $1 membership trial offers with $20 g/cs from them? I got two yesterday...
