Super-Scam! - Complaint
Review by jbram98 on 2011-01-21
I'm another person who's gotten 'screwed over' royally by MyPoints. I'd actually been a member since late 1998 and had never even redeemed my points once, as I wanted to accumulate a large amount and get something really nice with them.
Well, having accumulated a huge number of points through them (over a faithful 12+ years!!!), I just today got an email saying that my MyPoints account was canceled. They said I'd violated their 'Terms of Service' somehow, though no definite reason was given. All my points were canceled.
I'd advise everyone: Don't waste your time with MyPoints. You'll be clicking your brains out - for absolutely nothing!
I'm going to talk to the BBB about them.
You've been warned - so beware MyPoints!!

We used to be members, and we got some good stuff through MyPoints. A lobster dinner--two lobsters, clams, chowder, potatoes. Gift cards to places we used.

(We stopped when we stopped donating plasma, which is how we earned most of our points.)

Have you looked at the terms of service? Have they changed over the years? I'd guess that many of your points have expired.

They probably have a policy where the points will expire after a certain time period of inactivity. Airlines do this with their points too.
