@sonofzeus said in 18700 MyPoints: Open New Discover Checking Account:
@yoregano They offer “on sale” rewards on my screen and a handful of instant rewards on MY screen. Maybe the algorithm varies based on users’ interactions with the site.
I guess you’d need to clarify what you mean. I’ve been using MyPoints a loonng time, one of my first rewards sites, one that is actually still in business (though they were not originally under the Prodege umbrella). Next year will be 25 years for me! Things have changed over the years. Anyway, when it comes to redemptions, I’m not sure what you mean by “instant” rewards. Otherwise, yes, they do claim to have certain rewards “on sale,” but essentially, those are always at the same redemption rate. For example, the prepaid MCs I mentioned previously say “sale” in the description but have been at the cost of 1,500 MP per $10 of card value for years. If something is always the same price, it’s not really on sale… Now, not all GCs are redeemable at the same rate. For example, a $10 Walmart card costs 1,590 MP. Thus one of the reasons I redeem for MCs, it’s better value. I use them to pay most of my utility bills.
