Ya they havn't been doing MaxPoints for awhile now. Its not ongoing, they put him up for special ocassions or something. I got an email a couple days ago about the new website....said "WE ARE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM A NEW WEBSITE" and all the pictures in mypoints emails are broken, so I think they have the whole thing taken down while they upgrade.

Thanks for the info - I haven't gotten any e-mails.

My points is in beta for it's new phase
http://www.mypointsbeta.com however, it's also likely they are just http://www.mypoints.com again.

It's cook because you can earn like 100 more points since the redesign cause of new surveys and such.

I just went into "My Account" and updated my profile....for 100 points.

It took me a minute to realize that I didn't get an automatic 100 points, but had to do all the little profile surveys for 5pts each and then we got a bonus of 40 pts.

Did anyone notice there's no giftcertificates.ca and that it takes more points now to redeem?

YES! I wasn't happy about this. I was 200 pts short of the $25 g.c. Now I gotta keep going! Shesh!

Yes, I know what you mean. I was only about 40 points short which is too bad.

Has anyone found anything other than the Home Depot offer for Canadians?

i contacted them about canadian redemptions, and this is what i got back...

"We apologize for any inconvenience. Please allow 3-4 weeks for us to add our entire catalog of Redemption Partners to the new MyPoints site. If you have any other questions, please reply to this email. Thank you for your continued patience."

so...patience is key, i guess.

Thanks for the update evanbear! I'll hang in there as I'm so close to a certificate and I'll try and be patient. .

Here is the response I got when I asked whether any of their gift certificates would work in Canada ...

We are currently still in the process of uploading offers to our new website. Rest assured that all of our Point earning and spending opportunities will be available to you again shortly. All features of our old site will be restored momentarily.

To our Canadian customers, do not feel as if you being neglected. Our team of engineers are furiously working to restore shopping and redemption features to our neighbors to the north. As for an exact time-frame, we can not make a guarantee, but rest assured the functions will arrive shortly.

The cards that you mentioned will work in Canadian store locations. However, we do not currently have a list of vendors that will ship their cards to Canada.

Thank you for your continued and valued membership and for your patience. Have a nice day.

Best Regards,
Nam T.
