This week’s Rewarding Moment comes from Mandy Tai of Vancouver, BC who has been a member of MyPoints since January 2005.
Here is her story:
“My co-worker referred me to MyPoints to earn monies back on my online shopping back when online shopping was still pretty new.
During this pandemic period of Covid-19, everyone’s mood has been pretty anxious. We are also staying-at-home with our little kids who cannot go to school and are missing their friends, AND they have a lot of pent-up energy so its been driving us a bit crazy!
All the playgrounds are closed with the city taping barriers around them to discourage trespassing. The kids were getting bored with the little toys we do have at home and everyone’s a bit angry at home.
So I decided to redeem the Points I’ve been earning for a while now on MyPoints.com for Amazon gift cards to get something to reward the whole family.
I ordered a scooter through them and it arrived safely at our home. What a change to the mood in the home! The kids saw the package arriving and were excited to see what was in it. When they saw the scooter, there was a lot of squeals of joy.
The kids love the new scooter and they can get some exercise in without going to the playground. My eldest is very proud to show off in front of the neighbors’ homes her new pink scooter.
It’s giving us some happy family memories to keep our mind off all the negative news going around lately and to relieve some tension of being cooped up at home.”
