How to Make Sure Score! BINGO Squares Get Marked Off on Your Board

Whether you’re trying to complete a Shop BINGO Board or a standard one, the easiest activities are merchant visit squares.

Most of these squares can be marked off simply by clicking the square on the Board which will redirect you to the merchant’s website.

Some of the merchant visit squares, however, will require that you activate Score! in order to mark off the square.

Score! is our shopping browser extension which activates when you visit a merchant partner site. In addition to making sure you don’t miss out on Shopping Points, Score! also displays current coupon codes so you can save money as well as earn Points for your purchase.

In order to complete these BINGO square, make sure Score! has been added to the browser you are completing your BINGO board in, that it is active and not disable and that you are logged into it.

(For more tips on activating Score!, check out this blog post.)

Once Score! is enabled, click through the applicable square to be redirected to the merchant site. The Score! banner will pop-up in the upper right of your screen:

Just click the banner and update your BINGO Board and the square will be marked off!

Rewarding Moments: December 10, 2020

This week’s Rewarding Moment is courtesy of Michele Bulger who joined MyPoints in June 2009 after a friend told her about the program. Her favorite ways to earn: “I do a lot of the surveys and do in-store shopping.”

Here is her story:

“I collect Hallmark ornaments and as the years go on, they get more expensive.

This year I was able to use MyPoints VISA gift cards to buy what I wanted to help me decorate my home for the holidays.

Without the VISA gift cards as part of the rewards program, I would have had to put the purchases on my credit card. So, I want to thank you MyPoints for having VISA gift cards as part of your cards to choose from.

I will continue to do more surveys, the Bingo cards, in-store deals and the 7-day Challenges to help me accumulate more and more points.

Over the years I have told many friends of mine about MyPoints; some have joined, and some have not. I always sing the praises of MyPoints, especially now during these times when people are not very comfortable going into the store.

I tell them, “You are shopping anyway, why not earn Points which can then earn you gift cards to use at your favorite places or to give as gifts?”

Thanks for sharing your story, Michele! Your tree looks beautiful! In appreciation, we’ve added 1,500 Points to your account towards your next Hallmark ornament (or whatever your heart desires).

Tuesday Tips: How Do I Verify My Account to Redeem Rewards?

Account verification is a new security feature that MyPoints is introducing and will need to be completed for selected members in order to process your redemption request.

This process has been implemented to protect members from unauthorized access and to ensure rewards are being requested by the account owner.

If you receive an account verification message when you redeem a Reward, you will be prompted to verify your account through a mobile verification process.

After you input your mobile phone number, click Send Code to be directed to the page to verify your account. A unique pin number will be texted for you to enter in the input box on that page.

After you enter the pin number, your account will be considered “verified” and you can reorder your Reward.

If you do not have a contract mobile device (prepaid devices cannot be verified), please submit a Help Request under the Compliance (Deactivation and Verification) request type and an agent will work to assist you in completing the verification process.

In order to ensure we are dealing with the actual owner of the account, you may be asked to provide a photo of your driver’s license or some other official identification. We will use the info (name, birthdate, address) on your ID to confirm that the account in question belongs to you to prevent unauthorized access.

Rewarding Moments: December 3, 2020

This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from Brian Payton who joined almost 20 years ago. His favorite way to earn with MyPoints is taking surveys and shopping.

Here is his story:

“For many years I have been using MyPoints.

About over 12 years ago or so, it was harder than usual on us for Christmas. It was because I have been traveling taking my son for his Leukemia treatments to UCSF hospital in San Francisco.

At that time I was saving my Points I had. That year I had used quite a few of my Points to get gift certificates to buy some of the Christmas gifts, including getting our Christmas Eve tradition of eating out. That was part of the rewarding moment we had with MyPoints.

The other part that was the rewarding moment is when we actually won a prize from the MyPoints 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways. We won a virtual type head set from my points, which we still have today.

To this day we still use MyPoints, and tell others about it. It’s not only because of the Points we got, but because the moment in time we had to use them, it was rewarding. Then to win a prize at different time through MyPoints, it came full circle.”

Thanks for sharing your story, Brian! In appreciation, we’ve added 1,500 Points to your account–just in time for the holidays.

Tuesday Tips: What Do I Do If My Account Has Been Deactivated?

If your account has been deactivated, there are a number of things that may have caused it including violation of our Terms of Service, an extended period of inactivity or prevention against possible unauthorized access.

  3. Once your request is submitted, please allow up to 10 days for a member of our Compliance Team to respond to your request.

  5. In the case possible unauthorized access is detected, you will be required to provide a scan of your government-issued ID in order to verify that you are in fact the owner of the account.

  6. Please respond to the agent’s response for information and provide all request materials in a timely manner to expedite reactivation of your account.
