Like everyone, we have been monitoring the Coronavirus situation over the past 2 weeks. We have paid particular attention to how it might affect our employees, our partners, and – especially – our community of members.
We recognize that the current climate will introduce uncertainty for everyone, some more so than others. Knowing that we’ve been able to make a difference in your lives – whether small or large – is what motivates us every day. And today, we take that mission more seriously than ever before.
In any effort to support our members, we’ve put on-sale certain gift cards in the MyPoints Rewards Store and increased Point offers on select gift cards purchased through MyGiftCardsPlus. Below are the details on the sale and increased Points.
In addition, we’re committed to keeping fun alive at MyPoints. That means, we’ll run Social Games on Facebook and Instagram, continue with Point Perks, and we’ll remain committed to creating rewarding moments.
1. Rewards Store Gift Card Sale
To assist members with unexpected or larger-than-expected grocery, food or drugstore purchases, MyPoints is putting all relevant gift cards on-sale in the rewards store. In addition, we’re putting on-sale select, game & entertainment related gift cards, effective now through March 31, 2020.

3. Monthly Goals Adjustments for those who submitted In-Store goals
If you’ve submitted March Monthly Goals and set goals that either require you to buy a product at a participating retailer and upload a receipt or make an in-store purchase for a linked offer, those goals will be marked as completed. We do not want our members to unnecessarily endanger their health during this time.
As we collectively wade through uncertainty, MyPoints hopes these measures are able to make at least a small difference in your life over the next few weeks.
And, please, we encourage members to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s safety guidelines for hygiene and travel.
