I have been a member of MyPoints for a while and have quite a good experience with them, I would also suggest Opinion Outpost.

Mypoints has been very good to me over the years, but need to start getting involved in other ones as well. Great post glbl!

I’ve been a member of MyPoints for awhile and it’s not too bad. It’s my first survey/point type website so I don’t have much to compare to but it doesn’t seem to take up that much time. I just do it every few days and let the points accumulate.

And thanks for the link to your post on speeding up the MyPoints process. I’ll be sure to check it out!

The info you give here is priceless. I’ve recently been impressed by the returns I’m getting from “My Search Funds”.

Have done about a million surveys in the past year to make a grand total of £1.79.

I’ve also been entering absolutely every competition on the internet and have been winning on average a prize a fortnight. (The prizes immediately go for sale on EBay)

I’ve used MyPoints since the start of the year and I’ve had very little success. So far I’ve received one $10 gift card and I’m about to get another one. For some reason, I almost never qualify for their surveys, so I’m only getting points for reading their emails. You must be getting significantly more email volume than me to get $25 every two months!

I’d say I get around 20 emails per week, but 3 of them are surveys and 5 or 6 of them are simply MyPoints advertisements, like “Hey come play a fun game!” which you don’t get points for reading/clicking.

I’ve started doing credit arbitrage with a $4500, 0% APR, no fee balance transfer. At ING I earn around 30 cents a day on that. That’s equivalent to 45 MyPoints points, basing it on the $25 Amazon gift card for 3750 points. I wasn’t going to bother with such a small balance transfer until I realized how much time I’m wasting to get the same amount of money (or less!) through MyPoints.

[...] to post about it until I’d spent a little more time on it, which I did today. Also, I read Gather Little By Little’s post today and he mentioned CashCrate as a way that he makes a little extra money, too. You cash out at $10, [...]

I have been doing Lightspeed surveys for about 4 years or so and LOVE them. Compared to them I don’t like Mypoints at all.
