Spending MyPoints Points On A New Digital Camera.

So, I finally traded in some of my 18,000 points I had saved up over at MyPoints. I traded them in for gift certificates to Amazon.com so that we could replace our broken digital camera! And while I have a digital SLR camera (Canon Digital Rebel XT) for when I go “picture hunting”, we always took our small pocket-sized one with us wherever we went – until it broke a few months ago.

If you go over the limit, you get a one month grace period. But if you continue to go over, you will be charged $1 for every GB that you use.

It’s back and it’s better than before, that’s for sure.
