    No, I didn't get that one. My goal is 101 today, also. Luckily, I completed a high point survey and made it.

    3lilpigs, my goal today on both MP & SB has been raised to 101.

    I also did not get the survey about raising the cost of giftcards. The points needed were already raised a while ago. It used to be that 1 point = .01
    They are not only making it more difficult to get points, but now they are making the points worth even less.

    my goal is also 101 and I did not see the survey about the rewards. Any idea what the number was? I guess I'd better cash in soon. I, too, remember when a $25 gift card was 2500 points.

    On Wednesday I bought Bounty and Kleenex but used self check and did separate transactions. That way I uploaded one yesterday and one today to help me make my goal each day.

    Very smart. since I am do doing the magic receipts (LOL at the name). I will probably start doing this too.
    I don't shop at Walmart, so I can't redeem as many receipts, but I will do what I can

    Just found the survey. It pops up when you click on the Mypoints home page. It's supposed to give you five points but I didn't get them. Ah, just read that they'll credit sometime in February.

    My current 'streak' in Daily Goals is four days, and my goal today is 90 points.

    I did get the five point survey in the pop-up window. Towards the end of the survey, they did ask what email was associated with the account, so the 5-points may be credited via a message that we have to click.

    EDIT TO ADD: I did get the Laptop Guy to work one day this past week, late at night, but every other time, it has been 'all out of offers' or whatever.

    It was suggesting 2,000 points to redeem a $10 gift card.

    That's nuts! so now 1 point is worth 1/2 a penny?? A 5 minute survey that pays 10 points, means that we will make .60 per hour.
    I know that this won't make me rich, but they should at least make it worth our time.

    Are they trying to lose members?

    Agreed. I wrote down that I can't ay I would completely stop using mypoints, but that certain areas I probably wouldn't be as active. So like surveys, I probably would do less of those if they points were 20 minutes for 75 points, that isn't worth my time. I know they bring in a lot of revenue from the companies they survey people for.

    I have yet to see this. I've signed in and out a few times, but nothing pops up.
    It's ridiculous to have to wait until some time in Feb for a lousy 5 pts.

    Looks like I won't make my daily goal tonight. Been trying for hours and can't complete a survey!

    Have you done any of the stupid quiz surveys from Adgate media? The ones I mentioned before that you can find the answers by googling the quiz online? They aren't worth very many points but I don't know how many you need. They are the Quiz Diva quizzes. I'm not sure if they are all labeled Quiz Diva though. The answers to other quizzes might also be found somewhere online for all I know. Just google the name of the quiz and see if there are answers.


    I clicked on one of the watch lists at about 2:45 pm today and let it run. It never stopped until just now when I had to shut it off cause I'm going to bed. It is now 10:50pm, so it ran for 8 hours without interference. I got credited for 30 watch lists and 65 points. LOL I have never seen it run straight through before. It usually stops and then I restart it later. I wonder how much longer it would have run if I hadn't shut it off. Figured my computer needed a break for awhile. LOL
