Rewarding Moments: March 23, 2023

This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from Brian Coburn who joined MyPoints on March 25, 2014 (happy nine year Anniversary, Brian!)–or so long ago, he doesn’t remember how he discovered our site.

His favorite ways to earn? “I enjoy the daily poll, magic receipts, and taking surveys.”

This is his story:

“What I enjoy most is the ability to earn Points and use them to purchase gift cards.

When it’s time to go on fishing trips, kayaking or camping, it’s nice to earn gift cards to purchase items to make these trips a bit more fun.

Our grand kids are getting old enough to enjoy fishing when they come out for a visit. We have several lakes here in the Kansas City area that are great fishing lakes. Being able to run in and pick up a few special items at Bass Pro Shop or Walmart for the kids with my gift cards makes a fun time a memorable time out with grandpa for all of us to make good memories.”

Thanks for sharing your story, Brian and for sticking with MyPoints for almost nine years now! In appreciation, we’ve added 1,500 Points to your account.

Rewarding Moments: March 16, 2023

This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from Barbara Behr who joined MyPoints in May 2000 on the recommendation of her husband who was already a member.

Her favorite ways to earn? “Magic Receipts, Shopping, Bingo, Daily Poll, and Point Perks are the best for me.

This is her story:

“Normally we are very practical folks and use our points for gift cards like Lowes or PayPal, but in 2022 we both saved up all year to put our Points toward our 50th Anniversary traveling in summer to Las Vegas.

With added United Airlines miles, and a Landry’s gift card to have a romantic dinner on the day of our anniversary, we had extra funds to use on the machines🙂.

We didn’t win big, but had enough little wins to feel like big spenders!

Our biggest WIN was still being able to be together and in good health to do trips like this with the help of MyPoints.”

Thanks for sticking with MyPoints for almost 23 years now, Barbara! We appreciate your loyalty and are grateful to have helped make your 50th anniversary memorable.

Enjoy the 1,500 Points we’ve added to your account for sharing your story.

Rewarding Moments: March 9, 2023

This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from James Wilson who joined MyPoints in May 2005 after discovering us while browsing online.

His favorite way to earn is Surveys.

This is his story:

“I like to earn points on [the] MyPoints website by doing surveys, as well as other activities.

Then once I accumulate a decent amount of Points, I generally redeem those Points for a prepaid Mastercard e-giftcard that I like to put towards a recurring bill so that I have one less to worry about paying during the month.

And then I have a little more time to relax and enjoy some down time at the beach, taking in the views.

Thank you, MyPoints, for giving me the opportunity to earn a little extra in my free-time.”

Thanks for sharing your story, James and for sticking with MyPoints for almost 18 years! In appreciation, we’ve added 1,500 Points to your account.

Rewarding Moments: March 2, 2023

This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from Elizabeth Dean who joined MyPoints in November 2001 on the recommendation of her mother.

Her favorite ways to earn? “Visiting links, Point perks and by making purchases through a link to get Points.”

This is her story:

“I have redeemed Points for PayPal gift cards and because of that I have been able to buy yarn for new crochet projects without feeling guilty for spending too much money.

I am very low income, and a disabled single mom, who suffers from depression and anxiety.

Being able to keep myself stocked with yarn keeps me from getting severely depressed and I just want to say Thank You for providing free ways to earn Points to purchase gift cards.

I have never been more grateful for a way to keep my mind fully occupied.”

Thank you, Elizabeth, for sticking with MyPoints for over 21 years! In appreciation for sharing your story, we’ve added 1,500 Points to your account. We look forward to seeing what lovely crochet project you finish next (feel free to post a pic on our Facebook wall)!
