If you want to waste your time and energy filling out surveys and not getting anything in return, then this is the site for you. Having done surveys with them for about 7 months now, everything was fine until last month. Twice they deactivated my account for no reason. Then suddenly a few weeks ago I get an email demanding a copy of my drivers license to "verify" my identity. They didn't seem to mind at first who I was. I'm just an elderly person trying to make a few dollars of gift cards to stretch my budget. I sent several emails asking why they needed this. All I would get were generic emails stating they need my id with picture. What a crock. They still owe me a $15.00 gift card. I will never see it. What a scam they have going on.
I did receive my virtual gift card but it was declined when I attempted to use it today (9-12-18)
My account was deactivated for no reason on the day I ordered two Amazon gift cards. It sounds like this website has some shady business going on since I've seen many complaints about people having this same problem with MyPoints on other websites. I don't trust them. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. I'll have to wait to see if I at least receive my gift cards. Meanwhile, I'll take this as a sign to do something better with my time.
Seems that MyPoints is deactivating elderly people, I too was using this to be able to have a few extra dollars to use at Christmas, and I did enjoy seeing other people's opinions. I had accumulated a lot of points and so far only response was " I was negative in responses"
As soon as I used my newly created userID & password account, it says: "Your account has been deactivated". Thanks to you ladies for sharing your experiences. I won't waste my time to try and get my account reactivated. Sounds like they're gathering e-mail addresses for spam. Pfff...
I would recommend that you file a complaint with the FTC and other applicable agencies. They are currently blocking people who have already been verified by stating that they re-verification process has been postponed. In my opinion, this is outright fraud.
i want to deactivated for boring
Agree with you -- I have been a member since 2003 and accumulated over 115000 points. And they deactivated me today. Can't get into my account.
Agree the site is a scam without any sense of fairness. I was kicked off the site too. I lost multiple hundreds of dollars.
