What'cha got in your Mypoints account?

Hmm, just browsing this site and happened on this thread. I think I need to get on my Mypoints account more! I earn points through Bzzagent but I use other sites for searching and coupon printing and shopping online.
I get a bit overwhelmed at the amount of sites online similar to this. I use Swagbucks for searching and printing coupons and ebates for shopping online. Is Mypoints better for these? And I only have 794 points. :(

I've been wondering the same thing tori729...I love swagbucks and only know about mypoints b/c of bzzagent-but none of my points in my mypoints account that I've earned thru bzzagent even show up, so I wondered how worth it it was to even look into this;-(

What is bzzagent that others are talking about?

I love bzzagent-more info at this link...

There is alot of info on it if you use the search feature above, of look in the surveys forum-this one (link) could get you started with info: HERE

I've been a member since '05 with a total earned of ~30,000 points. I like to get them by clicking through the emails they send, printing off coupons, and buying stuff through them online. Although lately, I've started using Ebates more... depends on what I buy.

-Click on the e-mails (if you're not getting e-mails or want more-update your profile questions, the e-mails will start up again/increase-as long as you opt in for the catagories.)
-ALWAYS try the survey invites-if you don't qualify, it's still 10 points-the invites also seem to increase if you start answering the surveys
-Go to the home page and look at the right for questions to answer-at least a couple of times a week, there will be multiples to click.
-print coupons based on who pays the most-but all of the sites that I know of only re-imburse up to a max # of coupons redeemed-so I usually change sites throughout the month to maximize my rewards.
-Check Mypoints vs E-Bates vs Inboxdollars vs Swagbucks to see which gives the most $$$$$ for any special offers or purchases.
Example: I won 2 free months of Netflix through an Instant Win Game. Before redeeming the prize, I checked out all of the above sites for the best deal on a free trial. (You can't qualify for a free trial after you've joined for the 1st time.) The best was Swagbucks-1000 SB's equals $10 Amazon plus 100 SB toward another 450 Swagbucks = $5 Amazon GC-30 days free trial. The other sites offered 14 day free trials and/or required you to pay for a month after the free trial in order to receive the reward. So, I won 2 free months of Netflix, have a third month free and have been paid over $10 Amazon-Sweet!

I noticed that the redemption values have gone up again-now it's 1700/1750 points for most $10 GC's. CVS GC's are my normal redemption-last year I cashed out for $85 CVS and saved $1586 per the CVS receipt at year's end-I ONLY spent the GC's from Mypoints and one $5 one that I earned on a survey-still had $3 on a GC to start this year. Roll those ECB's, roll.

Current points: 1311
Pending : 286
Redeemable: 1025

last redeemed points on 03/16 for a $10 CVS 1600 points now it is 1700 points-eek!
Glad that I didn't decide to save up for a $25 GC-although since the price increase has gone through not, I'll probably save up for a larger GC tjos time.
