MyPoints - Best Shopping Site

MyPoints is another rewards incentive program that is absolutely free of charge.  Instead of earning cash for shopping, reading emails, completing surveys and other various activities, you earn Points.  These Points can then be redeemed for gift cards to many of your favorite restaurants, department stores, clothing stores, and hotels.  Stores include CVS, Macy's, Gap, Papa Johns, Red Lobster, Outback, Shell, Safeway, Target and many many more.  You can even trade in your points for Paypal cash!

From all the sites I've looked at MyPoints has teamed up with the best merchants by far!  They definitely work with many stores you frequently shop at, both online and in stores.  The great thing about using MyPoints is that sign up and membership is free and it doesn't cost you anything to start earning.  Say you want to book a hotel at the Holiday Inn.  Just sign into MyPoints click on the link that takes you directly to the Holiday Inn website and book your hotel like normal.  Just for going through the MyPoints site you earn five Points for every dollar you spend.  It's that simple!  Same goes for all the merchants so instead of just signing directly into the stores you want to shop take a second and get to the website through MyPoints and be rewarded for something you were already going to purchase. 

If that wasn't enough there is also a DEALS section where you can print off grocery store coupons that reward you 10 Points for every Coupons.com coupon you print and redeem.  Plus, earn 25 Points when you print and redeem 10 coupons in a month.  And don't stop there!  You can also find deals on stores throughout the site and  local deals near your city.  If you don't want to spend any money under this section there is a Free Trials page that gives great offers such as Netflix, GameFly, different book stores, and other offers. 

My favorite way to accumulate Points is through the emails.  For every email you open you get 5 points.  You do not have to spend a lot of time reading the deal and you do not need to complete any offers.  You just have to click on the link that says "give me my 5 Points" and wait for the page to open.  MyPoints sends a good amount of emails each day so you can really rack up Points fast!  They also send emails offering to participate in surveys.  But unlike other sites you get rewarded whether you participate in the survey or not.  You will receive 10 Points just for trying to participate and 50 Points if you complete the entire survey.

In conclusion, in my opinion, MyPoints is the safest, easiest way to earn Points for gift cards without spending money or to be rewarded for shopping at stores you are already spending money at.  They have the largest selection of top stores I have yet to find.  It is fun and easy to use and you will never be bothered by third party advertisements.  So go ahead and send your mom flowers!  FTD gives 20 Points per dollar spent!
