MyPoints

 It seems like "MyPoints" can refer to two different things, so I'll provide information on both.

1. MyPoints (Rewards Program)

MyPoints is an online rewards program where you can earn "MyPoints" (points) for various activities. You can then redeem these points for gift cards, PayPal cash, or travel miles.

How to Earn Points:

  • Online Shopping: Earn points by shopping at over 1,900 partner retailers through the MyPoints website.

  • Surveys: Get paid for taking online surveys and sharing your opinions on products and services.

  • Reading Emails: Earn points for clicking on links in promotional emails called "BonusMail."

  • Watching Videos: Earn a small amount of points for watching ad-supported video clips.

  • Playing Games: Earn points for playing online games.

  • Special Deals: Get bonus points for signing up for trial services or trying out new products.

  • Magic Receipts: Earn points for scanning your grocery receipts, even if you didn't buy items on a specific list.

How to Redeem Points:

  • Gift Cards: Redeem your points for gift cards from a wide variety of retailers and restaurants.

  • Cash: Get your rewards as a PayPal deposit or a Visa prepaid card.

  • Travel Miles: Transfer your points to your United MileagePlus account.

Reviews and Legitimacy:

MyPoints is a legitimate and long-running company, owned by the same parent company as Swagbucks. It's often praised for its variety of earning methods and flexible redemption options. However, some users report that it can be a slow process to accumulate points, especially for activities like surveys where you may not qualify for all of them.

2. MyPoints (in the video game NBA 2K)

In the video game series NBA 2K, "MyPoints" are a form of experience points (XP) that you earn in the MyCareer mode.

How they work:

  • Progression: As you play games in MyCareer mode, you earn MyPoints that fill up a progression bar.

  • Overall Rating: When you fill the bar, your player's "overall" rating cap increases, allowing you to use your in-game currency (VC) to upgrade your attributes and improve your player's skills.

  • Not a Currency: It's important to note that MyPoints are not a currency that you can spend. They are simply an experience system that dictates how much you can level up your player. The actual upgrades are purchased with VC.
