AARP Rewards Holiday Savings & Budget Contest 2022

I try to get gift cards for points and/or at a discounted cost during the year. I pass on many gift card options because there is not a store location near me or any of my family or friends. Some gift cards I use to save on purchases for myself or for gifts for others. My daughter is usually the prime beneficiary of the gift cards. Since gift card redemptions are fulfilled as a digital code, I cannot use them as stocking stuffers. 

I try to enter into contests. You got to be in it to win it.  I even enter for baskets and gift cards and use them as birthday and Christmas presents.  Teenagers like the gift cards to spend

I save so much money on gift cards thru AARP and use them to give as gifts or to donate to various charities, like the red cross, throughout the year.  

I only recently discovered the whole world of AARP Rewards (although I have been a member for quite some time), i now understand and appreciate the opportunity to enter instant wins and sweepstakes all using points I collected using activities I like and that are entertaining and/or  educational.  I have not bought the discounted gift cards yet: but intend to do so by the end of the year for gifts to loved ones.  

AARP has saved me on many gift cards over the years. Personally, I prefer buying a card where I like to shop & from there find gifts for others. Exception would be restaurants. Those cards have been great to give to our mailman, cleaning lady & gardener. They've each appreciated it!

I enter sweepstakes, but haven't won anything yet. I plan on checking out the gift cards to see if I can afford them.

A little poem.😊

Prices keep rising and saving is hard.

That’s why I’m thankful for each discount card.

Auto Zone, Hulu & (yum!) Krispy Kreme.

Earn points each day and then watch & redeem.

Local Deals, magazines, Petco, Door Dash.

Buying Rewards cards will save you some cash.

Holiday gifting or just for a treat

Check out Rewards cards for deals you can’t beat.

I check the rewards page every morning to see if there are new gift cards available.  Sometimes they're already sold out, but other times I get lucky and get to use my points to get a gift card that I can use for myself or for family and friends.

Always check not only at the holidays but helps because doing more.  Not only check for deals and enter contests but just seeing the different offerings gives you ideas.

I use the Rewards Catalog to support my holiday giving and budgeting (as well as non-holiday giving and budgeting) by entering sweepstakes for cash giveaways to perhaps win some extra $ to to use for holiday purchases, travel and gift-giving. I also enter multiple gift card sweepstakes with my Rewards Points to use for gift purchases, entertaining, holiday dinners at home or restuarants, and as stocking-stuffers/Christmas card surprises!
