    I purchase the maximum amount of gift cards I can throughout the year to use as gifts for the holidays. And I earn points throughout the year in order to purchase them.

      Buying items with points and discounts lets me be more a more generous gifter with my limited budget!  I can include a couple more people in my gifting and even pass cards and codes along to the local charities that make baskets and care packages for needy in the community.

        We buy gift cards or other opportunities year round and then have options for gifts at Christmas or other occasions.

          I buy a grocery coupon to save on holiday meals. This year I got the bamboo spoons to use as stocking stuffers (a member’s only reward paid for with points.). And, I get gift cards. I live all the options that AARP has. It’s nice to save on the gift card purchases.

                My favorite use of AARP Rewards is to buy Carnival Cruise Line gift cards. We love to cruise, so saving money with these gift cards is important to us! The gift cards help us to stay on budget with our travel expenses. My husband retires next year, so staying on budget will be even more important then.

                    I buy discounted Safeway grocery cards and when I use them at the Safeway grocery store, I save 8% on every purchase!

                    Great minds think alike!! I also do the same thing at my local grocer (Kroger) I especially love to save 8% on groceries but I also buy gift cards for Kroger and use them to buy gift cards to restaurants we frequent when they have 4 X fuel points and save money filling the tank! This month I get a dollar off each gallon up to 35 gallons. We'll fill my husbands truck and gas cans up to the max.

                     I constantly earn points so I can enter the monthly sweeps which would save me money..  I also use the points on the instant wins and redeem points for the the other offerings in order to get gift cards for friends and family for birthdays and  holidays .Over the past year I have collected many gift cards for friends and family. which have put smiles on their faces while saving me a lot of money I check the rewards page several times a day to see what's new.so as to not miss anything.

                    I enjoy reading the Rewards catalogue to get a head start on my holiday shopping! I frequently find retailers that I wasn't familiar with before to generate new shopping list items. I take advantage of the contest offerings to try to earn discounts on my own shopping activities and to win gifts for others on my list.
