MyPoints review: how it works and whether it is available in India

Who is behind MyPoints

MyPoints belongs to Prodege, LLC, a company registered in California. Its terms of use name Prodege as the owner and operator, the site footer carries a Prodege copyright line, and both the Android and iOS app listings show Prodege as the publisher.

Prodege also runs other reward sites, and MyPoints' own region notice to a visitor from India pointed towards some of them rather than towards MyPoints itself.

Facts checked on 2026-10-06

What you can do on MyPoints to collect Points

Rather than one single task, MyPoints combines several small activities into one dashboard.

• Clicking through to a partner store before shopping, which works in a cashback-style way
• Answering paid surveys, with a small number of Points even when a survey ends in a disqualification
• Opening BonusMails, which are sponsored emails, and shopping from the offers inside them
• Watching short videos
• Uploading shopping receipts through Magic Receipts for in-store offers, capped at a set number each week
• Browsing deals, including local deals and travel bookings
• Searching the web through the MyPoints search bar, which awards Points at random
• Playing browser games listed on the site
• Inviting other people through the Refer-A-Friend programme
• Hitting a personal Daily Goal for a bonus

Eligibility and how a reward reaches you

To open an account, MyPoints' terms of use ask for a minimum age of 13, or higher where local law sets a higher age, and anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to approve the account. Only one account per person is allowed.

Once Points are available rather than pending, they can be swapped for gift cards and e-certificates from partner brands, for PayPal cash, for a virtual Mastercard reward card that can also be requested as a physical card, or for United MileagePlus airline miles. A PayPal reward only goes through when the name and email on the MyPoints account exactly match a verified PayPal account.

MyPoints does not publish a fixed minimum redemption amount on the help-centre pages that were checked. Its Google Play store listing mentions a range of gift card values, but that describes typical reward sizes rather than stating a minimum balance needed to redeem.

No list of eligible countries is published either. The terms of use say the service is run from the United States and that Prodege makes no claim that it is available or suitable outside the United States and wherever else it directs the service to, and the receipts feature is limited to stores in the US and Canada.

MyPoints compared with PocketsFull

Both are reward sites, but they differ in what they offer and who can use them, based on each site's own published information.

Where PocketsFull stands apart

PocketsFull is a separate, free-to-join rewards site. Members complete paid surveys and offers, including game and app offers, and build up a balance they can redeem.

It also runs a referral programme with a personal link for each member, keeps a Help Centre and FAQ page for support, and has a section of free browser games that exist purely for fun, with no sign-up and no reward attached.

What any one member earns on PocketsFull depends on which surveys and offers are available in their country and how much time they put in. It is pocket money alongside other activities, not a salary, and PocketsFull is not an employer.

Redeeming rewards on PocketsFull from India

The box below lists the payout options PocketsFull shows to members, and it changes by country: for India that means local gift cards, UPI, PayPal and Litecoin.

Gift card choices are matched to the member's country, so someone redeeming from India sees local names such as Amazon, Flipkart and PLAYSTATION rather than a fixed worldwide list.

UPI payouts go to a UPI ID, so an ID linked to an app such as Paytm, PhonePe or Google Pay can receive the reward; it is not a top-up of a wallet balance, and it is only shown to members in India. A virtual card or airline miles, the kind of methods MyPoints lists, are not among PocketsFull's redeem options.
