Can you really be rewarded for reading emails?
Surprisingly, the answer is yes! I joined a free service about a year ago that rewards me for reading emails and visiting websites.
The service is actually pretty cool.
I earn points each time I read an email from them and visit the website promoted in the email
and I can earn even more points if I signup or make a purchase on the website I visit.
The points can then be redeemed for gift cards from many different merchants. Personally, I like the Starbucks gift cards (they help support my coffee habit) but there are department store cards, travel awards and more.
I have found that MyPoints is an easy flexible way to earn a little bonus here and there (over the last 12 months or so, I’ve cashed in my points for 6 or 7 Starbucks $10 gift cards…. not bad for a few minutes clicking emails each week).
