Received the e-mail below from MyPoints.com concerning personal points donations to the American Red Cross. Donors were addressed personally. A nice touch. I must say that it was a very painless way to donate money that way. These points grow so quickly because you are just reading ads, it feels like a scam but it isn't. I use my points to receive Macy's gifts cards for myself. Have even given one away as a present ;-)
All of us at MyPoints and the American Red Cross would like to thank you for the generous Point donations you have made in the past few weeks. Members like you immediately responded to our request for Point donations, and we are overwhelmed to see the extent of our members' generosity.
Thanks to you, MyPoints has just sent the American Red Cross a check for $333,844 to be donated to the Disaster Relief Fund. Your Points are making a difference! This is only the first of many checks we have yet to write as your Point donations continue to pour in. Future donation updates will be featured in Connections and the Account Statement, so stay tuned!
American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest-hit areas of Katrina's destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands of victims left homeless with critical necessities. Your Point donations are being used to support these relief efforts so that the Red Cross can provide shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
Thank you again for your donation and know that your generosity is helping many hurricane victims in the southeastern United States.
Sincerely,
The MyPoints Team
