Check this out....

I hate junk mail!! Over half my email inbox is filled with junk and I'm constantly hitting DELETE over and over. So why would I sign up to receive more junk mail?? To rack up points of course! A friend of mine introduced me to MyPoints, and I am reeling them in!!

This website gives you points to click on their sponsors' websites, shop at the sponsors' on-line stores, answer surveys, post your opinion about new websites, and even print coupons. Everyday I get "Bonus Mail" with offers to click on a website for 5-10 points, if I purchase so much or register with the company, pretty much something that brings that company revenue somehow, then I get more points. Most of the time I open the email, click on the company, then close that new window that pops up, so I can get my 5-10 points. I have also answered surveys about my family, shopping habits, dining out favorites, any consumer survey, I get 10 points to see if I qualify and if I do I can get 50-100 points for completing the survey. They even have a search tool bar you can download and use to search and every search brings in a certain amount of points. I have used the search tool bar and it's slightly confusing and the results are not clear and jam packed with ads, so I prefer the Google tool bar. If you refer your friends and they sign up you get 250 points per friend!!

What do you do with these points you ask?? MyPoints Rewards lets you "cash" in these points for gift cards!! They offer gift cards to so many shops and restaurants: Target, Wal-Mart, Applebee's, Old Navy, Pottery Barn, Pizza Hut, FTD, LL Bean, JC Penney, Gap, Foot Locker, Chili's, Amazon.com, iTunes...the list goes on and on. You can even donate you points to the American Red Cross!! The more points you collect, the higher the amount of gift card you can receive. I am saving up for a $50 gift card from Tar-geh :) I'm well over half way there. I could have cashed in early for a $10 gift card and I have just enough for a $25, however "Go big or go home!"

You should try this out!! What's a little extra junk mail, if you are getting gift cards in the end??

I did not receive any payment for my review. All opinions are of my own accord and is not affliated with the company.
