Information We Collect
Points4Me requires relevant contact and other information in order to facilitate its service offerings. This generally includes your name and contact information such as e-mail and postal mail addresses.
In the course of conducting its business, Points4Me naturally compiles purchase information, such as the time of purchase, the retailer, and the purchase amount.
Points4Me does NOT receive your credit card number or other personal information that you submit at our featured retailers' websites. We receive only information regarding transactions so that we may credit purchases to your Points4Me account. In some cases, retailers provide us with the actual product or service purchased. We do NOT use or share this additional information.
Our Information Sharing Policy
Points4Me does not now, nor will it ever sell or rent any personal information that you share with Points4Me.
Points4Me also does not otherwise share personally identifiable information (such as your e-mail address, other contact information, or information regarding your purchases), except as necessary to facilitate payment processing or other service fulfillment operations through third-party partners. In this event, only the minimum information required will be communicated to such third-party providers.
The only exceptions to our policy of not sharing member information are: If Points4Me is required to do so by law. If ownership of Points4Me is transferred, at which point it will be necessary to transfer all information to the new owner(s).
How We Use Your Information

What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website sends to your web browser. The next time your browser requests information from the website, it sends the information in the cookie back to that website.
How Are Cookies Used?
Cookies are frequently used to keep track of how many times a user visits a site and to enhance a visitor's experience. For instance, some websites use cookies to recognize you when you return and customize your visit.
Does Points4Me Use Cookies?
Yes, Points4Me uses cookies to recognize you upon return so that we may restore certain features, such as the retailers you select as your favorites. We also use cookies to allow you to shop and receive credit without having to log in each time you visit Points4Me. This is provided as a convenience for our members.
When you logoff from Points4Me, you have the option of deleting this cookie so that you won't be recognized upon your next visit.
Our featured retailers use cookies to track visits to Points4Me and to track purchases made by Points4Me visitors, thereby ensuring that Points4Me is properly credited. This then allows us to credit our members and it is why cookies should be enabled when using Points4Me.
Cookies that are set by affiliated retailers when you visit Points4Me are known as "third-party cookies", since they are not set directly by the site you are visiting (Points4Me). Cookies that are set by a retailer can only be seen by that retailer. So, for instance, a retailer cannot see another retailer's cookies, nor can a retailer see the cookies that Points4Me sets.
As we show Google Ads on this site, Google also request that we display the following information:
- Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on your site.
- Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
Are Cookies Safe?
There are many misconceptions about cookies. Cookies cannot "steal" your personally identifiable information, and they cannot contain any personal information that you did not submit to the website that set the cookie. Also, one website cannot read another website's cookies. So personal information that you enter at one website cannot be seen by another website.
How Do I Know If I Have Cookies Enabled?
