First of all, I want to heartily thank you for being a MyPoints member. We have such a loyal membership, and it is your use of our program that has allowed us to grow over eight million strong in the ten years we've been around. We are grateful for the opportunity to help you earn rewards for the things you do every day.
We want to be able to continue giving you these great rewards. That's why we have a request to make of you today.
We all know it's tempting to get Points every way we can. Taking surveys, signing up for programs, filling out online forms — it's so easy, and it adds up so quickly. But please, do us and our affiliates a favor: Only respond to those offers you are honestly interested in.
People do business with us because they trust our integrity and the integrity of our members. When they get the feeling that people are just in it for the Points, they're less inclined to do business with us — which means we can't pass along their value to you. And to protect the vast majority of our members who use our program honestly, we'll immediately close the accounts of those we find making fraudulent use of the program.
In the long run, the few Points you gain in this way will seem pretty unimportant if doing so damages the program, and you can't shop and earn the way you used to.
By all means, participate in MyPoints. Complete surveys — with integrity. Sign up for programs — that you have a real interest in. And continue to redeem for great rewards with the best, most reliable companies around.
Sincerely,
John Fullmer
President of MyPoints
