💰 A "question" for those folks who have WON Sweepstakes.

I am NOT "expecting" to WIN the one sweepstake (Staples) I entered LAST MONTH (September 2026) - but just in case I get LUCKY.

We are suppose to find out on OCTOBER 14th if we won.

Does the AARP email "arrive" anytime during that day/night? Lol, I need to keep an "eye" out. 😅 I usually "check" email whenever I think about it. But DONOT want to "miss" the DEADLINE to respond.

How long do they give us to respond?

NEVER won any sweepstakes.

Thanks All,

Nicole 🤗💛

    Anyone WON any Sweepstakes from LAST MONTH (September 2026)? 🤔 I guess I DIDNOT win the Staples one as winners were suppose to be "notified" on the 14th of THIS MONTH (October 2026). 😭 Anyway, wishing EVERYONE good luck for THIS MONTH (October 2026). 😤 I am NOT really entering any this time. Just did a ONE DAY Walmart for the MAX ENTRIES of 10 on the 1st to use some points before AARP takes them back. As we all know, "unused" points DONOT "rollover" & EXPIRE after 12 months. 😱 

    ​@Boddy53 , Tigger ​@4Tigger2 & Maria ​@MariaK113398 , got my fingers - toes & eyes "crossed" you guys WIN something. I have NEVER won a Sweepstake since "joining" the AARP Rewards Program May 2025. But I DONOT enter every month. As far as Instants, two in 2025 (Barnes & Noble and Amazon). 2026, Staples September 4th. HAPPY Saturday All, Nicole 🤗💛

      Hi Nicole…...I won a few sweepstakes in the past, I think the email came during the day sometime and I remember it was a few days after the “cut-off date”. So don’t lose hope if you don’t hear anything by Oct 14th, it could take a few days longer. I only enter a few sweepstakes  a month now because it takes so many points to max out so I think my winning days are done. GOOD LUCK!!!

        Thank you Maria ​@MariaK113398 . I DIDNOT enter any sweepstakes this month (October 2026) except to get "rid" of some points AARP was getting ready to take back. Did ONE DAY of 10 entries for Walmart & Amazon. I "avoid" those as I know they are VERY POPULAR = decreases my chance of winning. I also ONLY "redeem" for cards, Instants or Sweeps I can use. Just TOO MANY "points" & I have lost what interest I had in EARNING. Some days/nights I may MAX OUT. Others, I may take a "break" or do ONLY the 3 daily SHORT VIDEOS. I just wish they would begin to ADD more Staples cards to redeem for. Oh well, GRATEFUL for the 2 I get EACH MONTH. Doubt I will use my 3rd "redemption" THIS MONTH. Take care my friend & good luck, Nicole 💛🤗

        Don't give up on redeeming your 3 gcs a month.  You'd be surprised by what gcs are offered.
