    Just an FYI....

    I don't know if you've noticed, or if it's even happening to you, but I've seen a lot more of my credit card receipts that are prininting my name at the bottom when I make a purchase. Doesn't make sense to me since the credit card companies are suppose to be making it harder for our identity to be stolen, so why do this?

    Anyhow.... I started using a black marker and crossing out my name and the last 4 digits of my CC, before I upload the receipt on to Mypoints. (Who knows what they do with it!!).

    It IS still approved, even with the black mark across it. I even crossed out my entire name and address on a PeaPod order that I picked up curbside, and that was accepted. So if you want to try it, it should work!

    So, Bingo is pretty much a bust for me. No single lines, I don't do Dining Deals so no perimeter, I don't do MyGiftCardsPlus so nothing that requires the center block, and I don't do Score, Shoply and Cash Back which eliminates the "everything but the center". Now I get to look at Swagbucks Swago -- probably the same there.

    Yep -- the same.

    Ok this is the fourth time this year that mypoints has offered 7 bonus points instead of 5 for finishing the to-do list and I finished the list and only got 5 points extra. For 2 freaking points, I have to contact cusomter service EVERY SINGLE TIME and I do it to annoy them.

    Check you accounts, the offer usually it Saturday and a Monday, and see if they cheated you, too, and let's hassle them until they fix their programming.

    You don't have to "do" a dining deal, just add one to you list. I can't do any of them either since nothing is closer than 300 miles for me, but I got the credit for it.

    I didn't look to see if Saturday said 7 points, but looking at today's to-do list, it says 5 points for the first five, and extra 5 points for doing them all (not 7).

    Same here. I add them, but don't do them. I use the score browser extension cause I shop at Walmart.com and can get points for it. The shoply is just an app, but you can get some good points when you scan things in the store with it.

    Mine has said 7 and 9 before, and I did get proper credit each time.....
    but lately (like today) it says 5. I haven't completed it yet to find out what I get.

    LOL@ 'contacting them just to annoy them!'
    I do too!
    They're my points and I earned them.

    You have to link a credit card in order to add an item to the list. She might not want to do that. (I don't. lol)

    The email that I got dated 1-11-21 at 5:21 am says

    "Complete 5 activities on your To-Do List. Earn 5 Bonus Points.
    Complete all activities on your To-Do List. Earn an additional 7 Bonus Points. "

    That's exactly why I don't do it. Step one is register a card. No thanks. I have such a low profile online (no social media whatsoever, no cell phone, etc.) and STILL my credit card was hacked last year. I had to cancel it. This year I've been notified that a travel company I use was hacked and they have my info -- so they gave me free credit monitoring. I had to fill stuff out for their "dark web watch" which I was hesitant to do. It's just another place my info now exists which makes me uncomfortable -- and I've already gotten two alerts from them. My email address and phone number (land line) are out there on the dark web. Sort of creepy. So -- if this can happen to me, when I don't participate in stuff people do every day without giving it a thought -- I can't see myself giving my credit card info over to MyPoints for pennies.

    I'm sick of spending 20-30 minutes on a survey and it says I have completed it but then it says sorry and I only get 5 pts. Can't they get their act together. I also don't always get the shopping points and I have to email them the order # etc. It's frustrating.

    That's why I get at least a couple of screenshots while I'm doing the survey. One at the beginning, and one near the end. I make sure that the page is of the actual survey and not just screening questions. I submit them along with my help ticket and they can see by the time on it how long I spent on the survey.
