If you do MyPoints...

**Telephus44** · 06-21-2008, 11:11 PM

what are you saving for? Since I was a BzzAgent, I had all my bzzpoints transferred to MyPoints as part of their new point program, and I ended up with over 17,000 MyPoints. I can actually get anything I want - seriously, nothing in the rewards section is over 17,000 points, so I really can get anything. I usually go for a Bath & Body Works card, although I've been thinking about the Starbucks card (since I go there a bit, and they have a promotion where if you register a card you get a free drink) and with the economy the way it is, possibly the Shell gas card or the CVS card.

So I'm just wondering what everyone else is cashing out for.

At Christmas last year I cashed in some points for a $25 GC to Barnes & Nobles for DD.

Right now one of my accounts has 6400 points and the other has 3500. I am thinking about turning them in for either a Marriott gift check or other hotel gift card sometime in September or August.

But knowing the way I am, I will get DD an iTunes GC and DS one to Bass Pro Shops or Lids.com.

I really don't have any immediate plans. I am just letting them continue to add up.

I usually use these type of things (MyPoints, MyCokeRewards, OpinionOutpost, MySurveys.com) to get frivolous, fun stuff.

I always save for the Walmart gift cards [may as well since they get all my money anyways. *lol*]

I've been a member of My Points, I don't know - for probably 10 years or so and know they are a stable company and have been around a long time.

Still, no matter what company nowdays [especially after being burned big time from Netwinner], I cash out as soon as I get enough points for the lowest level gift card.

Love,

Jen

I just started doing both mypoints and bzzagents. I have a ridiculously low level of points right now but am planning on getting Target giftcards to help fund Christmas, etc.

~I get Gamestop cards. I figured out that you can get slightly more reward cash for there than the Target cards I had been getting. DH spends most of his pocket money at Gamestop. See, I'm a big meanie and I count rewards as regular old income, not extra spending money. It took YEARS to convert DH to that idea.~

I kinda see the MyPoints gift cards as free money, and I love Target, but don't shop there because I can so easily drop quite a bit of cash. So, I get Target gift cards, usually, to satisfy my Target need.

However, this time, I'm saving for Kohl's gift cards, because dh's work shirts are wearing through and we can only find the ones he likes at Kohl's.

...and Sara, how did you transfer your bzzz points to MyPoints? I have many bzzz points and would LOVE to transfer them over.

**karone** · 06-22-2008, 08:50 AM

saving for the $100 omaha steaks one or the walmart one.

**Buckeye5** · 06-22-2008, 09:17 AM

I haven't cashed any points yet, because I am not sure of what I want. So it may be a Walmart card, or something like that.

**emily_hope** · 06-22-2008, 09:19 AM

I am pretty close to 17,000 points myself. I haven't cashed in because I've not decided exactly what I want to get. Decisions, decisions. LOL!

**LexTysMommy** · 06-22-2008, 09:25 AM

I cashed in one time for old navy gift card. Got kids each a summer outfit!

I now have mypoints visa card and for every $1 you spend you get 1 point. With 0% until november. I charge everything now ( even bills) and then pay off every week. That is making my points add up fast!!!

I am saving for a couple $25 giftcards for Xmas for family!

It took me forever to cash out at the lowest level with MyPoints, and I got a Home Depot card - which is one of the few that are valid in Canada. Then my bzzagent points transferred and I was so excited because I had enough for a $50 card, then when I went to cash in Home Depot was gone. I ended up having to cash in at giftcertificates.ca for a voucher to buy a Canadian Tire gift card - which costs about 500 points more than getting one directly from MyPoints.

A lot of Canadians are quitting bzzagent because MyPoints has next to nothing that you can use in Canada.
