Haven't used either one in a while.  I stopped doing Swagbucks a while ago because it seems it took so long for me to earn points.  I loved MyPoints but fell off doing them a while ago every now and then I try to get back into it.

I'm on both those sites... haven't realized that had happened (I guess I rarely go on MY Points site, but i do open their paid emails).

Thanks!

Omg I hate Bing now they changed it so you can't get anything good from cash outs like what am I going to do with a 10 dollar off coupon to the Xbox store or whatever just give me the Amazon gift card

Then they up'd the amount of points you need to cash out for Amazon.    I used to love getting the Chipotle Gift Cards, and/or the Dominos.    But really nothing to hate about it, at least they give free stuff for minimal effort, they could go the Google route and give nothing.   It is definitely not as "fun" though.    I don't need Amazon... I need Dominos :)

All of the gift cards/cash now cost less points to cashout.

They haven't merged. They're just owned by the same parent company now and they've said they would remain separate sites
I've never used MyPoints( or at least don't remember) but I'm able to cashout with Swagbucks multiple times a month even with just random search wins. It's mostly surveys and videos that I use on there
I guess "merge" was the wrong word. But the Swagbucks company bought My Points, so now they are making My Points similar. I use both sites, but I like the different ways to earn from both, and I don't want them to be the same. And I don't like random search wins at all.  I hope they don't get rid of the paid emails, too. That's how I make most of my money on My Points.

I am a member with both, I used to earn alot from swagbucks when I would get referrals, but now all my referrals have earned the max they can for me, Im lucky if I cash out once every 6 months there :(

I had heard they merged, which has been quite a few months for those asking

I have not heard about mypoints changing to random points for web searches that doesnt sound good :(
