Pleasantly surprized

This week I received an email from MP... I received 1750 points for a $10 GC... It was a year long thing... I ordered something last year during this new gimick... and so for a year, it kept telling me if I make 3 more orders from MP, I get a $10 GC... well I pretty much do my ordering thru MP during Nov/Dec (for which I think I earned maybe 700 MP or more)... then it showed up I had received a $10 GC... didn't know how to redeem, so emailed them and asked, and they said as soon as the points were no longer pending, I'd received the credit)

Holy Crap... how nice is that... I got MP for each purchase PLUS the 1750 MP... I'm in 7th heaven. I did order a $25 Applebee card the other night, and I still have somethng close to 10,000 points... oh deep breath, now to spend them :-)

Cool! I wish I'd seen an offer like that.

well ya know Lori, there never was an 'offer' for me to accept... one day while checking my points account, I noticed a bar across the top and one space was red... it said '3 more purchases and you'll received a $10 GC' ... then as I made orders via MP, noticed a 2nd space was red... and it continued to fill up (the red)

I basically didn't have to do anything other then make 4 purchases within a year, and I did !

Oh wait Dee,don't you mean 20 dollar gc??? I got one,they just add the points to your mypoints.I think it was 10 purchases in a year for 20 dollar gc

What the hell? I want to get bonus points too!

I'm bummed I missed out on this!

I'm sure you all have or had it on your mypoints pages

Athena, mine was always $10 GC for 4 purchases, 1750 mp were added to my account....

You're lucky if you got $20 (of course you had to purchase 2 times more then me !)

I have to check again,it would be funny if I'm wrong.I'm going to the movies,will check when I get back and post!

Damn, I wanted to drag hubster to a movie but got tied up on the phone. We can't do a 9:00 movie or he'd be sleeping through it. I probably would too. I want to know which movie you saw.

I'm finally back! I went with my brother to see THE DEVIL INSIDE,which really contain a lot of bull inside lol.I do not recommend it at all.I wanted to leave early but my brother said it was too early to go,meanwhile it's saturday night.We wound up looking for parking for over an hour,missed almost the whole movie,so we decided to sneak into the same movie,different room.Men,they never listen,they think they're always right lol

I also found the thing on my account page,it's right above "recent activity" and it's called "your counter".There are 10 boxes filled in (10 purchases) and it says 20 dollar gc,congratulations you qualify for a gift card.

I wa trying to convince him to see The girl w/the dragon tattoo instead ,but he said,and I quote,"I'm not sitting in there for 3 hours to see a movie" lmao

I don't have a "Your Counter"

omg! wth?! I just assumed everyone had it!

I just emailed customer service. I don't expect a real answer.

Let's hope they do

I got my answer:

Dear Lori,

Thank you for contacting MyPoints Member Services.

The Shopping Tally is an exclusive new program which is currently being offered to a small segment of MyPoints members.

If you have any further questions please reply to this email.

Sincerely,

Patrick V
MyPoints Member Services

Hey Lori, at least they replied. I just checked my account at MP and see I'm being offered the deal again... I need just make 4 purchases between now and Jan 1 '12. That'll earn me $10 GC (1750 MP). But there are restrictions:

Terms and conditions
All shopping and travel purchases (other than Amazon and Games) of at least $10 each (excluding taxes, shipping & handling, and any special processing fees) made through the MyPoints.com website and emails (including BonusMails®) are eligible towards this promotion. Qualifying purchases must be made within one calendar year from the start date of your Shopping Tally. Each return will subtract from the counter. New purchases will update your Shopping Tally on a daily basis. Multiple transactions made with a single brand on a given day count as one transaction. Any reward you earn will be awarded in the form of points. Only one reward per member will be given for this promotion

I don't have this on my page either.

You mean between now and Jan 1 '13? You lucky dog! Since the email asked if I had any further questions to just reply to the email, I asked what I could do to get in on that program, too. I'll let you know if I get a reply.

arrrg ! just checked and it says shopping tally expires on 1/1/12 ! since that date has come and gone, maybe their programmer made a typo? if not, wish they'd remove it from my account page !

oh well... if I don't get, I'll still continue to shop thru MPs...

good luck Lori... they say the squeaky wheel gets the oil !

They'll probably just give me a smackdown. But thanks for the encouragement.

I do pretty good with using MP as my search engine (no, didn't download their search toolbar) ... each month I earn 250=265 points for doing searches... (last month) and this month, doing 123 searches earns 265 points... and that's eazy pezy and I don't even have to spend money !

That's interesting,I wonder what their criteria for choosing is.
