MyPoints: Are you getting the most out of your membership?

I know I have mentioned MyPoints previously as being a great rewards program to belong to, but are you getting the most out of your MyPoints membership? If your local grocery store or drug store accepts Internet printable coupons, and you aren't printing them through the MyPoints site, then probably not.

MyPoints offers coupons, which are powered via Coupons.com. These coupons are nicely valued and are just as good or better valued than coupons that appear in the Sunday paper. Printing coupons via MyPoints and redeeming them allows you to earn 10 points per coupon. Each month that you redeem 5 coupons printed through their site gets you an extra 25 points. Over the course of a year, these points can really add up and earn you a small gift card, just based on coupon usage alone.

Another great way to earn points through MyPoints is to use its search bar feature. Downloading and using the MyPoints search bar will net you 10 points for 1-4 searches, 50 points for 5-9 searches and 10 or more searches in a month will earn you 100 points. Through the end of April, MyPoints is enticing its users to download their search bar by offering 200 points for downloading and using it for 30 days. Search points listed above are doubled for the month of April. Everyone searches for things on the web, so why not earn a little extra by typing in those keywords on the MyPoints search bar?

April is also MyPoints' member appreciation month. Check out the "Thank You" tab for an awesome free gift from Snapfish. MyPoints members can choose from 50 free prints, a free flip book, a free talking photo card, or a free photo collage poster. Get yours today! Free photos alone are worth taking the time to redeem for your free gift!
