I gave in. I’ll admit I was kinda pissed off when MyPoints changed their videos from watching single videos, (which I could fly through in no time) to video playlists. Why, I don’t know, because one can NOW earn up to 500 points per day, when previously it was capped at 75. Yes. I’m one of “those” that gets all out of sorts when there is a bit of change to my routine. Another valuable thing I like is that the points now credit immediately. You no longer have to wait and wait and……
And here is a little hint: I did the math, and if you redeem for gift cards such as Target or Walmart, the $10 ones are the best value for your points! If you do PayPal, the $25 or $50 payout is your best option. AND THEY NO LONGER CHARGE ADDITIONAL POINTS TO DO PAYPAL! Yay! I keep cashing for gift cards out as soon as I have enough points, because I am using these for Christmas shopping.
Also, these videos pay just a bit more than SB. Each SB is equivalent to 1 cent, each 2 points at MyPoints is worth about 1.25 cent. So it’s a good alternative to Swagbucks if you are looking for one. They pay 5 points ( a bit more than 3 cents) for a survey disqualification, unlike SB which pays 1 SB (1 cent). Actually, run both MyPoints and Swagbucks video playlists at the same time! Just watch them on different browsers so they don’t interfere. Otherwise you will get the, “Slow down! You may be watching videos too fast!” message.
So — if you are into the Swagbucks video playlists, this is nearly identical. The same playlist that pays 1 SB will pay 2 points here, and so on. It really is TOO easy to not do, and the play-lists will auto-play once you’ve clicked on the first one — so long as you do not have any sort of ad blocker on. I got tired of searching for the “good” video play-lists, so here is my list of links, and I’m sharing it with you! Enjoy! 🙂
Please note: Lately, the videos have been resetting after an hour or so. Yay! So, make sure to see if you can re-watch the shortest videos below again, before taking on the longer ones. 🙂 I make every effort to keep this updated on a daily basis. If it is not, I may be having a Fibro Flare, or just an attack of the lazies. lol 🙂

*** 😦 This sucks! MyPoints has increased the video lengths, and decreased the points. Nothing good ever lasts with these sites…

Are you allowed to use the better faster private browsing extension on the mypoints playlists too?

Yes, it still works, but sometimes the videos will not auto-advance. In this case, I will do Incognito mode in a separate window.

thanks,,i gave the extension a try and sometimes it takes them longer to load and they do not auto advance. i do them on a cheap windows tablet. I was trying to get around that adblocker message because i do not have one at all, but i was getting the message quite a bit. And i think mypoints might have found out about the list because some of the links do not work. Maybe they moved the person over from swagbucks that made their playlists disappear, but i hope not. Thank you for this list!

Thank you so much! Yes, it’s hard sometimes to keep up with all the changes they constantly do. I will update my playlists later today. I have my 4 year old granddaughter here today and she is “helping” me. 🙂

Mypoints must be paying you for this promotion. First thing is you can’t do math. An average video for 6pts lasts 20 minutes with MANY much longer. That means if you watched for 24 hours STRAIGHT you could only get 432 points. NO WAY to get 500 points!!!!!! BTW, mypoints monitors the videos and if you watch them too fast they nullify your points. So do not use several browsers. Also the videos are cause all kinds of browser issues, video not found, video restricted from playing, plugin crashes, video infinite looping that stops you from getting the points after watching for 20 minutes. Does not matter what browser or OS you use. You still got all kinds of issues.

Nope. I’m not paid by MyPoints, and I am in no way associated with MyPoints besides being a regular member. It would be nice if I were. And no, it’s next to impossible to earn 500 points in a day watching the video playlists alone. What math? My son is the math genius, not me. 🙂 I use several websites each day and MyPoints is just one of them. I follow the playlists links I have posted for MyPoints and Swagbucks. It all adds up and I make decent money. In addition, I have never suggested using several different browsers at once to watch these videos. I’ve never had points nullified. As far as “all kinds of browser issues, video not found, video restricted from playing, plugin crashes, video infinite looping that stops you from getting the points after watching for 20 minutes…” That is a beef with MyPoints, not me. Peace. 🙂

For 2 days now I have not been able to click on a video. They & the ncrave say Sorry not available at this time? Anyone else have this problem?

I have had this problem off and on for about 4 days now with the “watch” videos, but not the nCrave. Apparently we are not the only ones if you look at the Swagbucks board on Reddit. Some people speculate that they are blocking us due to low ads available from their advertisers. This makes sense to me, as it is suddenly SO many people! I emailed SB support and got a canned response about making sure no ad blockers are on, blah, blah, blah. I don’t use ad blockers when I watch the videos, otherwise they don’t advance correctly. I think they are purposely doing it to block us from earning, since their earnings are probably down. Notice the nGage and Jun Group are hardly available any more? And payment has gone down for the nGage. It is the same across all the sites. Ads are in a drought right now.

Thank you for answering! I am at least glad to know it is not just “me”. 🙂 Every time I get into a good rhythm of going to mypoints everyday then they pull something like this. I am not a member of reddit yet. I did just subscribe to your email posts!
