I was doing my weekly task (I find it daunting to have to do it as they come in) of reading all my mypoint.com “Bonus Mail” emails.  These are where you have “bonus mails” sent to your inbox, and in doing so, you read them and click on the link “Get Points” in order to receive 5 points for just reading the bonus mail.  I just earned 200 points for this past weeks bonus mailings.  However as I said earlier, I find it daunting to open each one when they come in, so I had to come up with a method to get these read efficiently so I could receive my points before they expire (these mailings do expire).

Here’s my method:  Either on Saturday or Sunday, I do a search in my inbox for “mypoints” and all the emails from My Points in my inbox are shown.  Next, I open the first email and scroll down to where it says “Get Points.” I right click on this icon and chose “Open link in a new tab.”  This now opens a new tab, but leaves me right where I am (using gmail and Google Chrome*).  I then scroll down to delete the email and I then am brought back to the search I did.  I open the next bonus mail and do the same, and so on, until I have a numerous amount of tabs open at which time I will close those (to avoid slowing down my browser) and start the process all over again.  It took me less than 10 minutes…to open 40 emails… to earn 200 points in my mypoints.com account.

* Google Chrome or any other web browser…Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari etc. gives you the choice of how you want pages opened in your browser.  To find out what your settings are:  Google Chrome…Click on the toolbox link (looks like a wrench at the top of your browser) and then click on “Options.”  You’ll see the options you have by clicking on each tab at the top of this pop-up.  The same for Firefox….click on “Tools” tab at the top of your browser and then on “options”.  Internet Explorer (latest version) you’ll see a double right arrow on the right side of the browser near the top.  Click on the arrows which will take you to a list of options, click on “Tools” and then on “Internet Options.”

I hope you find this useful.  If anyone has another way they’d like to share…I am open to any suggestions 🙂

So, I was just going through my email and came across one from Lakeside Collections.  Even though they aren’t listed as a cash back site…they are on mypoints.com and offer 500 points on a $25 order or more.  I happen to rack up a lot of my points shopping on this site.  The site offers a lot of practical items and for the most part, I have gotten quality items (the price you pay when shopping online). The one thing I wish this site did was allow customers to review products they’ve purchased.  That being said, I still buy but read the item description very carefully.  Anyway, what brings me to mention this store was the lamp advertised in the email.  I can think of so many places I could use one of these in my home.  It’s such a space saver, and for people like me who needs bright light to see print, I could adjust this to where I need to have it to be able to see clearly.

As I sit here looking at the lamp, the creative ideas that come to mind for revamping this lamp to co-ordinate with my decor, are flowing.  Since the lamp base and rod is metal…I can repaint it to match my wall color.  The lamp shade…I bought an extra valance when I purchased my living room curtains…I can use that to cover the lamp shade…a very simple task. I’ve already used some of the valance to cover light switches and a smaller table lamp. With a little time and work I can have a custom lamp for under $30…not too shabby!  This would also make a nice lamp for my son’s room, in fact, I’d like two for his room.  He is wheelchair bound so floor space needs to be kept open in order to manuevre the chair (it’s a custom chair for a 6′ young man).  Yup, I need to place an order! Bummer…I just searched for coupon and promo codes..doesn’t look as though they have any going on right now :-(.
