MyPoints for Gift Cards

This post may contain affiliate links.

Update: If you signed up for MyPoints Tuesday or Wednesday but haven’t received any BonusMail, you may want to sign up again or log in and change your e-mail address. I began receiving duplicate BonusMails Wednesday, so someone joined through my link and we got a glitch. The referral link has been fixed so that it will take you directly to the MyPoints homepage. I’m sorry for your delay!

This week’s cash earning tip is MyPoints. I have been a member of MyPoints since 1997. Yes, 1997, so I’ll admit I’m not exactly the world’s youngest new mother. :-) I recommend this program over any other rewards program because I have the longest track record with them and they have the best selection of gift cards to choose from.

MyPoints works like this:
1-Signup
2-Click through e-mails (called BonusMail)
3-Earn gift cards

Ok, so here’s more you can do, but clicking through e-mails is about all I do (takes me less than a minute a day) and I still earn $30 each year or better. note: you should set up a separate e-mail account for all of your online registrations so you can keep your main one for correspondence, etc. google and yahoo offer free accounts

*Take advantage of their “offers” (which I typically do not) and you earn the specified amount of points in the e-mail.
*Print your coupons.com coupons from their site and earn 10 pts per redeemed coupon -while this is great, I usually print mine from InboxDollars where I get 10 cents for each one
*Shop online through their site to earn points for every dollar you spend. They have over 400 retailers including: Walmart, Target, The Children’s Place, Staples, American Eagle, ToysRUs, Disney etc. You can still use any discount codes that you may have.
*take surveys (for me, these don’t pay enough for my time, I’d rather take my surveys through a survey site for better pay)
*”tell us” boxes on the mypoints page. These are rotating questions that you answer to earn 5 or 10 points.
*search through their site (I’d rather search through Swagbucks for more cash!)
