MyTroops Shutting Down

I got an email tonight from the MyTroops rewards-for-troops shopping site saying that they would be shutting down on July 6. The owner, an Army reservist, is being deployed stateside and isn't able to continue on with the site.

Participating troops will have until July 20th to redeem their points; after that time, unredeemed points will be donated to the USO, AnySoldier.com, and Fisher House.

MyTroops launched in January 2007 and was designed to allow members to assign their online shopping rebates to a deployed serviceman. A unique idea to support a noble cause -- I'm sorry to hear the site will be closing. Mitch, thank you for your continued service to our country, and my best to your wife and family.
