Hi. I joined connections through mypoints also and was supposed to receive a voucher for a dinner out and a movie. Well, 2 1/2 weeks later I still hadn't received the info in the mail so I emailed them and they said they'd send it out. I asked if they would extend my 30-day trial membership so I would have a chance to read the membership materials, but they said no, I could have reviewed the information on their website. I did not realize I could've called them for my membership number to look on their website. I just prefer to look at 'hard copies' of information. Anyway, yesterday, a month after my initial sign-up I received my information packet which isn't all that much material and really refers back to the website. Anway, I'm getting off my intial point of replying to your post. In the packet was a postcard to mail back to THEN get the voucher for the dinner and movie out. And, yes, it will only be processed if you have paid the full amount to become an active member.
