AARP Rewards Holiday Savings & Budget Contest 2022

I check daily which cards are available and that are near me. Whenever the appropriate grocery store cards pop up, I am there! I use the cards to purchase items on the need list for the local food pantry.

I've been saving a lot of the points I've earned this year for the holiday season, and am hoping to use points to get some treats to share with my husband for the holidays. Since I started with the Rewards Program, I've actually won some Instant Wins, and I have also "purchased" completely free gift cards!  In the past when I've had a reward to share, it's been a big spirit-lifter for us both! 

I use MyPoints.com to earn points to use on gift cards. The site allows me to shop at my favorite stores to receive point for every dollar spent. Plus, I earn points in various other ways they offer and through MyGiftCardsPlus; where I buy gift cards offered and earn points for each gift card bought. I spend while earning and then I treat myself with a gift card just for me after the holidays.

Family all decided to take a cruise, true Multi-generation trip. Used point to by the gift card to give everyone a starting point.

Bottom line in budgeting is to cut out all unnecessary spending, if you don't really need it why buy it, so it could sit in the corner or cabinet or maybe closet. My outlook on budgeting....

I think it is wonderful that AARP offers "points only" gift cards.  I cannot afford to spend money on gift cards, so I use this opportunity to use my points to get gift cards for gift giving or using the gift cards to purchase items in the store at a far less price when I use the gift card.  The gift cards also help me save money to purchase things for myself....like donuts.    I have a Dunkin' Donut addiction 🙂 so I am so excited when I see the $5 Dunkin' Donuts gift card so I can get free donuts...YUM~  Thanks AARP!!

I can’t seem to find how to enter this contest. 

I do the quizzes to get points and buying gift cards for gift giving is an excellent idea!

I purchase gift cards with rewards points.  so I need to add actual money and others are just free.  It is fun and I always learn something along the way.  Thanks for the free education. 

I enter the  AARP "points only" sweepstakes to win both cash and gift cards. This way, if I win, I have an almost unlimited choices to purchase the gifts I want.
