MyPoints is part of a larger organization that includes FTD online and they are now huge SPAMMERS. Look at the bottom of every BonusMail you receive. In many of them in teeny tiny print, it says you have to opt out of future emails from this advertiser. Suddenly you are on all kinds of email lists you didn't opt in for PLUS many of these are sleazy companies that quickly sell your email

"WOW" I was going to use the card also. Than I read these commments. This gives me a different outlook at "MY POINTS" I thought they were honest. So disappointing.

So much for saving on sending my father-in-law funeral flowers! It's bad enough I can't get bereavement fares anymore from the airlines!

Interesting ... I would imagine that's because there is a cookie access and wipe so you can't earn bonus points as described.

FTD rewards, what a joke try to go to the website and mcafee lites up my browser defender lites up & other warnings too. can't stack the cards, overpriced stuff.

i am so glad i found this site while searching for the free ftd $15 gift site,i never found a
special site as i thought it would be but i did find lots of comments
about the card,i have 2 of them and had planned to send my friend a really nice flower and card,she's going through a really hard time right now and i thought the flower would be a pick me upper for her,i guess she will not

2009-02-13T20:46:00.000-05:00

I haven't thought of it that way. The more I think about it though ... the more that seems plausible ... getting the people with 20,000 or more points to be duped into cashing out points at lower values as a "financial decision" ... I honestly think this should be investigated and then turned into a class action lawsuit.

2009-02-13T17:38:00.000-05:00

I, too, must admit to being burned by MYPOINTS -- thinking I was going to purchase flowers with my two cards..and quickly discovered the link and cards being neither a special promo for loyal mypointers nor a good sale!!..I also cashed in my points for lower ended rewards to get these cards..bummer. perhaps this was a ploy to GET people to get rid of their higher points??

2009-02-12T23:53:00.000-05:00

You got this right!!! I too am very dissappointed in the way Mypoints has made us all think we were getting 15 dollar gift cards. I am not happy with this at all. I have been a member for 5 years and was saving points for gas cards and starting making smaller purchases to get some extra flower gift cards boy did i screw up. Found i could just go and goggle and find the same coupons, shame on

2009-02-08T16:43:00.000-05:00

I agree! This was a very deceptive and worthless scam at best. I'm sure that it went something like this: "Hey let's sucker all the MyPoint idiots into buying flowers from us for Valentine's day" I feel very deceived and feel that MyPoints should do something to make this situation right.

Hi,
I also got burned with several FTD cards I was going to use them to get my Granddaughter some flowers on Valentines Day. Very disappointed with myPoints have been a member for over 5 years.If anyone is going to do anything with this legally, count me in.

2009-02-05T08:25:00.000-05:00

MLF - I got 1 of those "My Points" $15 off cards, and thought, " Great !! I can send my sister a Thank You gift for all that she does for our Mother and I and never complains "( we are both disabled and living on fixed incomes ). Then I went to the Net to use it, and fourtunately found this page. Thank You all for saving me money I don't have to waste. I will find another way to Thank her.

2009-02-04T17:00:00.000-05:00

I have a similar problem with it, I also choose to redeem my points for smaller amounts and I chose 6 gift cards for walmart for my three children and I only recieved one "giftcard" for ftd.

2009-01-26T12:08:00.000-05:00

I got my "$15 FTD gift card" in the mail last week and was also disappointed. The link is open to the public and it's not a stackable discount. I think it was misleading also.

FWIW, I have a contact at MyPoints and forwarded him the link to your post and asked for his comments. I hope that at the VERY least, he'll refund to your MyPoints account the points that you forfeited by taking

"Both state and federal law prohibits the sale of gift cards and certificates in a deceptive manner, so it's illegal for sellers to conceal conditions, restrictions or fees."

This is from http://www.dca.ca.gov/publications/press_releases/2008/1114_gift_certificate.shtml

Unfortunately, I'm afraid FTD and MyPoints is going to get away with it. When I surf the Web, it looks like a

2009-01-19T10:04:00.000-05:00

I was burned by MyPoints too. They have a huge screaming banner that says "Receive a FREE $15 FTD Gift Card with every redemption!" on top of their site, but they don't go into details.

I would recommend everyone who gets burned by this submit a complaint to ftc.gov and your local attorney general. It is ILLEGAL for them to use phrases like "gift card" and "gift certificate" and to

2009-01-19T07:11:00.000-05:00

At least restaurant.com certificates are full value discounts ... that being said I got "surprised" the first time I used one of those ... another restriction ... you cannot pay for the gratuity as you can with most gift cards AND 20% is automatically added.

2009-01-18T16:53:00.000-05:00

You'll find similiar problems with the $25 restruant.com gift cards. $25 dicount on a meal of $30 or more. limit 1 card per party -every 6 months!
