MyPoints

MyPoints is one of the oldest rewards platforms on the internet, launched in 1996. It's now part of Prodege — the same parent company as Swagbucks and InboxDollars — which means it benefits from a mature infrastructure, reliable payouts, and broad retailer partnerships.

The platform's biggest strength is shopping cashback. With over 1,900 retailer partners including Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, MyPoints can add meaningful value to your existing online shopping without changing your behavior. Cashback rates range from 1 to 20 points per dollar, which works out to competitive returns on most purchases.

Beyond shopping, the earning menu covers paid surveys, short videos, click-through emails, and daily one-question polls. None of these individually earn much, but they accumulate if you're consistent. Surveys claim up to 2,200 points per completion but realistic earnings are typically 50–600 points.

Payouts come via PayPal cash, gift cards from hundreds of retailers, or — uniquely — United MileagePlus travel miles. The travel redemption is valuable for frequent flyers and sets MyPoints apart from most competitors.

The main drawbacks are the $15 minimum withdrawal (higher than most GPT sites) and the familiar frustrations of survey disqualification. There are also some concerning Trustpilot reviews about accounts being deactivated when users approach larger cashouts — something to watch for.

For casual earners who already shop online regularly, MyPoints is a low-effort way to layer rewards on top of existing habits. Pair it with a higher-payout GPT site for tasks and offers.
