MyPoints - are they pointless....
Review of mypoints.co.uk by CareBear

Advantages: free money
Disadvantages: slow to collect and few opportunities

MyPoints or Pointless? The question on many a freebie hunter's lips... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE NOTE: MyPoints have now been taken over by theMutual.net and have relaunched as MutualPoints. The earnings are much the same, but you can now redeem for cash (although the claim threshold has been raised to £20). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MyPoints is yet another loyalty reward site where users are rewarded for visiting certain web sites, taking up offers and ...
...as ipoints and, as with the Ciao/DooYoo split, members are often loyal to one or the other. MyPoints Europe went live in the UK in September 2000 and since that date has grown in popularity. The plan is to expand the network over an 18 month period. Permission marketing is a growing industry with young internet users being seen as an untapped source of income for many major companies. Schemes such as MyPoints allow companies access to a wide group ... Read review

What a Load of Rubbish
Review of mypoints.co.uk by vinodgm

Advantages: Free points
Disadvantages: Very low payout, Takes ages to physically earn something

I joined MyPoints last month after reading several opinions on this site. I went in with high expectations and was truly and utterly disappointed after I used the site. If you are in it for the sake of obtaining reward points for free, in this case I mean without actually purchasing anything, then MyPoints gives you the following earning options: 1) Visiting Web Sites 2) Completing Surveys 3) Try It Out 4) Refer-A-Friend 5) Receiving e-mail containing ...
...Everything sounds really great so far but when you look into each earning option in greater detail, you then begin to realize the drawbacks. Visiting Web Sites ---------------------- At present in this section you have only two possibilities. One is “Free Business Cards” for which you will earn 10 points and the second one is “NetBet Sports.com” for which you will also earn 10 points. Total: 20 Points Completing Surveys ---------------------- ... Read review

Slowly, slowly, catchy monkey....
Review of mypoints.co.uk by loulou6

Advantages: something for nothing
Disadvantages: can take a while for the points to add up

MyPoints is another online reward site just like Ipoints or WebRewards (although, WebRewards will be closing down at the end of July 2001). You earn points for visiting web sites, shopping with retailers’ partners, read and respond to MyPoints e-mails and also for taking surveys. I joined MyPoints back in September last year, and since then, this reward site has got bettererer and bettererer! • Navigation and Loading The log-in/sign-up ...
...also gives you a good idea what the rest of the site has in store. It also boasts three reliability seals (of which two are current). Reading the ‘Privacy Promise’ is quite reassuring, with their address and phone number for all to see (I’ve not had to contact them any other way but e-mail, so I haven’t actually checked that this is kosher). Once you have signed in (it remembers your details, so you’ll have to enable ... Read review

MyPoints Arent Building Up Very Fast
Review of mypoints.co.uk by aljones

Advantages: Free to use, something for nothing
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to earn a small amount.

MyPoints.co.uk is yet another money-making opportunity that has opened up on the internet. However, unlike sites such as I-points, Dooyoo, Consumer Reviews and Ciao, the speed at which you add up points are very much dictated to you, rather than you being able to go off and earn as many as you can. Registration to the site is simple, just simply supplying the usual contact information. You then have several choices on how to earn points, which convert ...
...spend the point you earn, there really aren't that many opportunities to earn points in the first place. So how can you earn the points? Firstly you can visit web sites. Easy. You go the relevant page on the MyPoints site, and click on the links to the web sites that are being advertised. You get 10 points for visiting, and may, or may not, get more points for doing something on the site, such as registering, betting or buying. Originally when I ... Read review

Point The Way
Review of mypoints.co.uk by JSPorter

Advantages: you can earn vouchers. is quite easy
Disadvantages: points are quite hard to get

Mypoints can be found at mypoints.co.uk for English users. It is a reward program where you earn points, not money. When your points total up, you can exchange them for gift vouchers for almost every high street shop of your choice. 750 will earn you a £5 gift voucher, and 1350 will get you a £10 gift voucher. So it pays to save as you get more money for your points. You can earn up to £25 gift vouchers, but personally I wouldn't recommend this as ...
...Earning the points - This can be done is a number of different ways. The easiest way is to fill in all the possible mypoints questionnaires at the start. This will get your balance rolling as there are about 100 points to be earned at one. After that however, its a little more difficult. You can earn points for reading mypoints emails and simply viewing certain websites (with no obligation to sign up or buy anything). This will earn you 5 or 10 ... Read review
