I have been a member, and earning prizes, of Points2Shop for close to 2 weeks now. I actually got my first prize, right from Amazon.com, after only two days of doing offers on this site. Well I have learned quite a few tricks to getting most of the offers approved, and I am generous enough to help the beginners learn these tricks so they don't waste points!
1: Get a junk email from google. This will become your best friend. Never use your real email on this site, unless you like spam!
Gmail.com
2: Get a junk phone number. This is done for the same reason as a junk email. This number may not always work for every site, and in that case put your number in BUT change the last couple numbers a bit. Oh and this site is entirely free. It is a fax/voice mail service. It can't be used with an actual phone.

3: Finally you can sign up for Points2Shop! Please click the link at the top of my blog. This way I will get a referral bonus, which you will be able to do once you get an account. For each referral you get a $1 bonus, as well as, 15% of whatever your referralee makes. This does not take points from the referralee, Points2Shop just gives you the points for helping their site grow. It really is a great deal. Please, once you register verify your account and start doing offers because if I refer inactive people my bonuses decrease in value.
4: Doing Offers! This is truly an art, if you want to get the majority of offers approved. Just because you do an offer doesn't mean you get the points. The advertisers have to approve that you completed the offer to their liking. Some offers are easier than others, and some are nearly impossible. This is where this strategy guide really comes in handy. I will fill you all in on the things I have picked up, or read, that will help you to get more offers approved. I will try to include as many pictures as I can. If they are too small, simply click them and they will get bigger.
5: Clearing Your Cookies and Cache! This is an advanced technique that I didn't know about when I first started. This will greatly improve your approval rate, and is incredibly easy to do. What this does in theory, is delete your internet history so you can "trick" these offers into thinking you haven't done similar offers, because some companies have multiple offers and wont approve you if you have done one of theirs before.
Step One: Go to Tools then Clear Recent History. This is for Mozilla Firefox, and will be different for other browsers but very very similar.
Step Two: Click on th
e details tab and only check cookies and cache as pictured. Then change the "Time range to clear" to "Everything". Hit ok and your done.
Warning: This will log you out of all your various sites. Even Points2Shop.
Step Three: Do this method right before doing any of your offers to ensure the best approval rating.
6: Physically doing offers:
Click on the "Earn Points" tab next to your "My Stats". Then click on Main Offer List. Here you will be directed to the list of available offers. Start by doing offers that have high approval ratings, but don't be afraid of ones that say "Low" or "Very Low" approval. These are still very likely to be approved if you know what to do. A nice way to find good offers is to click on the "Recently Approved Offers" to see what has been approved for other members. When doing this method, look for offers that have been approved many many times. Your odds are better when doing offers that have been approved 1000 times compared to 0 times.
Pictured to the left is an example of a decent offer. It has only been approved 74 times and its rate is "Unknown" but that is because it is a new offer, just added to the site.This larger detailed page is gotten to by clicking on the offers title. Some offers will give advice on how to achieve an approval. You can follow along by clicking this link to the actually offer. LINK
Things to note when looking at an offer. Directly under the "Step 1" green box are things that are needed to complete the offer. Some offers are paid, so watch that. Some need software downloads, some just phone numbers, etc.
To get to the offer, click on the white icon with the green arrow pointing to the right. It is located just above "Earn". This will bring you to the offers website. Make sure to clear your cache and cookies before clicking the link. It will open in a new window, but don't close the Points2Shop window as you will be coming back to this site.
This is the first screen you will be brought to after clicking the icon. Say no to as much as you can, even if it may be true. You don't want to fill in extra info if you don't have to.
Once you get to your birthdate, address, etc. fill in correct information. You can use your junk email, and junk number (sometime the number wont work, but rarely does this happen).
This is the next page in the line up. If there is no "*" next to something you can usually skip it. On this page, simply hit continue and skip all of this junk. When skipping pages in this manner, be sure to let the page fully load before moving on.
This is the following page. Be sure to enter all correct information on this page. Then hit submit.
More to come! It takes a while to get all the pictures and such.
