Has anyone else had a recent problem with MyPoints closing their account?
I received no notification of such action, and even had several MyPoints clickthrus in my inbox, but when I tried to click through them, I got a message that my account has been closed and my points are forfeited. I have enough points accumulated to cash out for a $200 gc, and in fact was getting ready to do just that so that I could start the winter school-clothes shopping process for my kids.
When I e-mailed MyPoints to find out what had happened, hoping that it was just a glitch in their system, they sent me a letter saying that I had accrued points in a fraudulent manner (how can you do this? They send the clickthrus to me!), that I am banned from MyPoints and should never attempt to open another Mypoints account (why would I after being treated so unfairly?). This just seems like odd timing to me, and that they are wanting to get out of redeeming my reward points.
Of course, all their legalese says that they can close your account at any time and there is basically nothing you can do about it. I'm rather mad as that account was set up through BzzAgent, so all of my bzz points are gone, too. :getyou
Has anyone had to deal with this? And a word of caution - don't let your points build up to high in your account.
