| I admit it, I've turned into a real MyPoints whore. I have placed 2 Lancome orders that I never would have if it hadn't offered so many points(2,000 for one and 2,500 for the other). And Overstock.com is high on my list of shops to look at first - it pays 10 points per dollar and the shipping fee is practically nonexistant. I needed a summerweight blanket for our bed and ordered 2 books and Bam! An easy 620 points. Yes, they're pending, but I'm all over them as soon as they clear.

| I don't always remember my whoring ways, either. We were on vacation and needed 2 nights in a hotel near Denver. What did I do? Called the hotel directly on the phone! Argh! I could have purchased the hotel I wanted through Priceline and received points. Still kicking myself over that one. If anyone needs any Priceline tips, I'm a Priceline whore, too.

| I have made a few purchases just to get points, including my free credit report from experion that i canceled 2 days late so my 250 points ended up costing me $30!!  no more of those free trials for me.

| Oh man, I draw the line at offers where you have to sign up for "free" trials. But I've always ordered from Overstock.com so it's nothing new for me. I have to keep reminding myself to look at the list of MyPoints partners before I make a purchase. I really wish the site would be a little faster. The speed thing gets on my last nerve.

I called and canceled my RealPlayer SuperPass right in time. But I was worried, because I didn't know if the man I spoke with was a recording or French.

| I wish the darn golf store my DH keeps buying from was on there. I would have a zillion points by now.
I need to figure it out and give it a try. So far I just do the bonus mail.

I have my fingers crossed that they will add some new stores as partners, too. I'll bet they add them all the time.

| | A tip for those who want to do the free offers - I use Google Calendar, which is free, and I have it set up to email me reminders when items on my calendar come up. So, I'll add it to my calendar to cancel a week before the deadline, and it'll email me. It works very well. |

| Google Calendar? But isn't that just a part of Google/Gmail? I have never even seen it on MP. That is weird.

| | It's a different service. You can even 'share' calendars. You'll need a Google login but I don't think you need to use Gmail (I do anyway). |

| I use Gmail, and I already use Calendar. So MyPoints isn't where you get points for using Calendar?
