I've had a couple readers email me about MyPoints, but have just now gotten around to researching it. It's a cool program that rewards you for reading e-mails, shopping, taking surveys, doing web searches and participating in online offers. Once you accrue enough points, you can redeem them for a gift card to your choice of over 70 merchants. You get 100 points upon sign up and it looks like gift cards start at 1,400 points.
Remember to use a junk email address when signing up! I read one of the easiest ways to earn points is by electing to receive the Bonus Emails and simply clicking on the links in emails. At 5 points per click and a few emails each week, the points will add up fast. Also, stick to the surveys sent via email, as opposed to the ones on the site. You'll typically receive 10 points if you don't qualify for the survey and 50 points if do.

I have used My Points for years and will continue to. I get about 4-6 gift cards a year worth at least $25 each time. I book travel, answer surveys, print and redeem grocery coupons, click on emails and buy on ebay. I always check on My Points first before I shop online and that way I get points to go towards gift cards. I LOVE this site!
I, too, have used it forever. It's great and the points really do add up fast, especially around holidays and birthdays :) It's fun to get gift cards back as a nice treat for yourself or as a wallet-friendly gift!!!
I have also used Mypoints for many years! It is really an easy way to get gift cards. I usually get 2 or 3 emails a day to click thru.. I usually check all other shopping sites before buying online... $10 gift cards are about 1500 points and most $25 cards are between 3250 and 3750 points. I usually get about 5 cards a year. I save all my points up during the year and redeem them about a month before xmas for gifts and xmas shopping!
