We want your shopping experience to be enjoyable on MY POWER MALL. And so we've created as many tools as possible to make your shopping experience as pleasant and efficient as possible.
But before we jump into an explanation of those, it is imperative that you enable your cookies on your computer! If your cookies are not enabled, we have no way to track your purchases and no way to pay your rebates!
When shopping on your mall it is mandatory to have all Cookie Features turned on. All affiliate shopping is tracked via account coding. The account coding consists of three parts - the MPM Corporate Account Code, the Store Account Code (including the banner link from the mall) and the Mall Shopper’s individual Account code.
Please take the time to go into your Internet Browser and ensure the Cookies are turned on by following the instructions listed below.
IE6 is the primary browser used by all PC users and that is the browser used for the instructions outlined below. Note the IE6 Browser has two separate areas in which to activate the Cookies features.
In other I-Net browsers you may have one or both of the two options outlined below in similar places. If you can’t find it in your browser, then click on the Help Key in your I-Net Toolbar and type in Cookies in the search box.

There are TEN ways to shop on MPM!
-
First we'll look at the Featured Stores.
-
Then we'll look at the FIVE ways listed down the left-hand side of this page.
-
Finally, we'll look at the FOUR ways listed across the top of this page just under the MY POWER MALL banner.
The following information is true for each shopping option:
| Point of Information #1: Stores are always listed in order of the highest % rebate which enables you to make the biggest impact with your shopping. By each store you'll find the % or $ rebate amount to be paid out on the purchase price. The only exception to this are the Featured Stores. |
|
Point of Information #2:
Once you have a page with stores shown on it, you'll see a light blue box in the upper right-hand corner just above the first row of stores. If you click on that box, you will be taken to a page where you'll be presented with a list of the stores you just called up by your search. |
|
Point of Information #3:
Notice the paging options at the left on both the top and bottom of the page. It's in small print and will look something like this: "Page 1 of 7 Next Page or enter a Page No.: [ ] [Go]" You can either click on the blue text "Next Page" to advance through the pages until you find the store you want or enter a page number into the box. If you enter a number in the box, be sure to click on the "Go" button.
Once you have entered the store, you will usually find directories and search capabilities to help you find exactly what you want within that store. |
1 - FEATURED STORES
When arriving on the MPM Home page, you will notice a selection of stores. These are our Featured Stores. They've been chosen because of the specials they are running. These stores are in addition to the Hot Shopping Alerts. (Be sure you're reading your Hot Shopping Alerts via RSS feeds [the only way to get them]! It's so easy to be kept up-to-date with this simple tool. You received your RSS Reader as part of the sign-up process.)
Simply click on any of the Featured Stores and you'll be taken directly to that store.
The FIVE options on the left-hand side of the page. . .
2 - INFORMATION BOOTH
Think of this tool as the Directory or Information Booth at your neighborhood mall. You know what you want, but you may not have decided on the exact type, make or model. If you know in general what you want (shoes, TV, clothing, appliances, computer, etc.), simply input the type of product you're looking for in the white box below the text "Information Booth." Click on the "Information Search" button directly below it (or hit "Enter" on your computer).
You will be presented with stores that carry that kind of item. Each store will show the % or $ rebate amount that a purchase will generate. At that point, simply click on the store of your choice.
3 - PRODUCT SEARCH
If you know the exact product you want, you can enter it in the white box below the text "Product Search." If you know you want a Panasonic 4-Line Digital Wireless telephone, enter the keywords "Panasonic wireless telephone" or "Wireless telephone."
If you know the exact item you want, you can also enter it by SKU or Part Number.
Click on the "Product Search" button directly below the box where you entered your product information (or hit "Enter" on your computer).
You'll be presented with the stores that carry this particular item. Each store will show the % or $ rebate amount that a purchase will generate. Simply click on the store of your choice.
4 - HOT DEALS
We have a team scouring MPM for the hottest deals. You'll find some of them by clicking on the "Hot Deals" button. (Be sure you're reading your Hot Shopping Alerts via RSS feeds [the only way to get them]! It's so easy to be kept up-to-date with this simple tool. You received your RSS Reader as part of the sign-up process.)
You'll notice on the Hot Deals page that there is a picture of the product, its price, and the rebate amount your purchase will generate. The rebate is calculated on the purchase price. There's never any guessing with MPM!
5 - DIRECTORY SEARCH
Just like the physical mall down the street, you can search for stores that carry the type of products you are looking for by using the DIRECTORY SEARCH.
Use the Directory Search by clicking on a category. The menu will slide down showing more specific choices. Click on your choice and the stores in that category will be presented to you.
Each store will show the % or $ rebate amount that a purchase will generate. Simply click on the store of your choice.
6 - PICK A STORE
There are 1,000+ stores in MPM. If you know the store you want to shop from, type in just the first 3-4 letters of their name. (The reason you don't want to type in the complete name is because some stores use a slightly different form of their name for their online stores. For instance, Sears is Sears.com. By entering just "Sea" Sears.com will be listed in the stores presented to you.)
Click on the "Find Store" button (or hit "Enter" on your computer). You will see a list of stores whose names begin with those first few letters.
The FOUR options across the top of the page. . .
The last four ways to shop address the fact that not everyone knows exactly where to look or what to look for every time they visit a mall with over 1,000 stores! The links across the top of the page (just under the MPM banner) make it a little easier. Whether you're looking for a Brand Name store, a store to meet your Business Needs, or stores that have Personal Needs items in them, we have created a quick, shortcut list to help you through the process of finding just the right one.
We've even created a section dedicated to Gift Ideas. You'll often find stores here around the holidays that specialize in or have specials centered around the holidays. Visit the Gift Ideas store list any time during the year – there always seems to be a birthday, graduation, anniversary, wedding or special occasion when you need a gift for that someone special!
7 - BRAND NAME STORES
