What is going on with MyView??

I just received an email to say I had received 1000 points from a friends referral program, and I have been on 10,000 points for absolutely ages, so delighted now, because I have 11,000 which I had THOUGHT was enough for redemption of a £5 Amazon gift voucher - instant - well it was in May last year at any rate.....now when I click on rewards, I get 28,000 points for a $20 donation to Earthquake Relief or 35,000 points for a donation to Doctors without Borders.......whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???? so I sent them a strongly worded contact to ask what was going on. No reply as yet, but will keep you posted....these guys were great last year, we had loads of instant redemptions and loads of great Amazon vouchers from them.

When you read their FAQs you discover that the redemption program changed in 2010......but I never had any redemptions for pre-paid gift cards as they say are available from January 2010 onwards....

I would really welcome a second or third or fourth opinion on this, as it is making me worried. They used to be one of my favourite panels in particular due to their instant redemptions! Not many panels do that!

What happened??? :(

Hi all - just received the following reply, so it appears I was panicking over nothing!!

Dear MyView member,

We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Please note we order a certain amount of Amazon.com Gift Certificates/
Restaurant.com Gift Certificates/
prepaid VISA cards on a monthly basis.

As soon as we run out of them, they are no longer shown as an available
reward option until we receive new
ones.

We recommend you to check again within the next few days.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
MyView Panelist Services

No worries, Pompski, you just have to get in touch with Charlotte to give me your email address, and Bob's your uncle! :)

Referral on its way, Pompski, but I think you should now delete your above posting, please, so it is kept private. Easy to do, use the delete button!:) oh, and sorry, it asks for name, too....so I just put your surname...I hope!! Let me know if you get it OK, will you? :) and don't forget to complete all your profiles so you can get relevant surveys.

No worries, Pompski... I do feel better now you have deleted your email address, on an open forum, it is just not a good idea! Not everyone is as considerate as us lot!! :) However, do contact YSP if you want to get in touch, though....I did not keep a note of your email address as I just cut and pasted it into the referral section on Myview....but do get in touch via YSP and Charlotte or Katie will pass on my email address to you or yours to me, no problems...here to help! :)
