Is purchasing through a reputable manufacturer but going through the MyPoints site secure or can they get info

I’ve purchased with many of the companies with them in the past. However, I’m not sure if I could be at risk if I go to the website through the Mypoints site. So I’ve never gone through them to get the extra points.

When you go through their site you get points. I just wasn’t sure if they could get my credit card info and things like that.

Has anyone had any experience or know if this site is safe to use?

Thanks
The way the site work is on points. You read e-mails and things and complete offers from their sponsors, then get points for each of the things you do. Then the points can be used to get gift-cards (your pay)

One of the ways to earn points is by shopping with merchants on their website, an example would be HP. If you shop with HP you get 3 points for every $ 1 you spend. You have to get to HP’s site by going through the Mypoints site, so that they know you used their link and can get credit.

My concern is that because I go through their site they may be able to get my info. You still do the shopping and purchasing through HPs site.

Hope this clears it up!

If you’re making a purchase on the MyPoints site and you DO NOT see a padlock at the bottom of your browser or at the end of the address bar (depending on what browser you’re using), I would not make the transaction.

By seeing that ‘lock,’ you know the site is secure and the information you submit is encrypted.

Hope this helps.
