This review is a joint effort between Will Peach (writer and researcher for eBiz Facts) and Niall Doherty (founder of eBiz Facts).
Our process:
The eBiz Facts team had previously spent 100+ hours researching and reviewing online survey sites.
Niall and Will spent a combined 5+ hours researching and testing MyPoints.
Niall contacted MyPoints support to test out their responsiveness.
Will wrote up his findings and Niall combined those with his own to create a first draft of this review.
We sent the draft to our Freedom Business Builder community and the folks at MyPoints and asked for feedback.
We made our final edits and published the review.

What is MyPoints?
MyPoints is one of the oldest online survey sites. It offers rewards and cash to people in the US and Canada in exchange for completing surveys, watching videos, playing games, taking polls, and shopping at certain stores.
Users can do this via MyPoints.com or with the free MyPoints Mobile App on iOS or Android.
If you’re in the US or Canada, you can sign up and start earning.

This way of making money online is known as GetPaidTo.

How does MyPoints work?
Log in to your MyPoints account at MyPoints.com or through the mobile app. From there you can complete surveys, shop, play games, search for deals, and watch videos in exchange for points.

MyPoints doesn’t clearly state how much points are worth, and it seems some rewards are better value than others.
700 points for a $5 gift card seems to be the best-case scenario, and I’ve read that you need about 4000 points before you can claim the minimum $25 payout via PayPal.
Points can also be redeemed for air miles (United MileagePlus).
Is MyPoints legit or a scam?
I’d definitely say that MyPoints is legit. The platform has been around since 1996 and is owned by the same company as Swagbucks (reviewed here).
As you can see, they have tons of positive reviews and a very high overall rating on Trustpilot…

MyPoints claims to have 20+ million active members, with 9+ million earning points. It works.

So is MyPoints safe?
MyPoints is safe.
You can see several user stories, many who’ve been using the platform for decades, over at the official MyPoints blog. For example:

Also, MyPoints is owned by Prodege, LLC, which holds an A rating from the Better Business Bureau:

How much does MyPoints pay?

Paola Poindexter represents a typical person doing online research studies at MyPoints.
As you can see, her earnings are fairly low. (This is typical for survey sites.)
The maximum pay for a single survey is around $6.
The number of surveys you can do on the site per day is also reported to be minimal.
Some users may not qualify for certain surveys. According to one Reddit user however, you’ll still be awarded a small number of points despite not qualifying.
There’s also a chance to randomly earn points using the platform’s internal search engine, MyPoints Search and Earn (see more below).
Our goal at eBiz Facts is to give you accurate information about online business so you can gain clearer insights, make better decisions, and achieve your own success.
With that in mind, we strive to ensure the accuracy and transparency of the income claims and estimates that you see on this website.
Here’s how:
We treat all income claims we find online with skepticism.
We don’t report incomes that seem especially controversial or unrealistic.
We cite our sources and/or share our calculations so you can see where the numbers come from.
If there are uncertainties about an income claim or estimate, we tell you what those are.
If you see an income claim or estimate that seems off, please tell us so we can fix it.

We’ve spent 100+ hours researching and testing the best survey sites.
And in the process we’ve learned a thing or two about how to boost your earnings.
Give these survey site hacks a try and let me know in the comments if there’s any I missed.

Do NOT sign up to every survey site
I’ve seen many other review sites recommend that you sign up for as many survey sites as possible “to maximize your earnings,” 1 but we strongly believe less is more in this line of work.
Only a select few survey sites are worth your time.
Assuming your goal is to earn as much money as possible in as little time as possible, we recommend signing up for ONLY these three sites:
RespondentSurvey JunkieSwagbucks
To earn most efficiently, spend a maximum of 90 combined minutes per day on those sites, starting at the top of the list and working your way down as you notice the best opportunities drying up.
