AARP Rewards Holiday Savings & Budget Contest 2023

This looks like a great AARP Rewards contest.

I received an email on January 2, stating that I was a winner. The instructions were to reply and say that I received email, and then, someone would forward the gift card to my email address. I replied but never received anything. ☹️ 

Hello Teri, wondering if you can post for us who’s entries won your contest?

 Thank you 

Thank you AARP for providing opportunities to save & learn- especially during holiday season!

I could very much use one of these gift cards during this busy season because my oven/stove combo sparked and quit working on Thanksgiving evening before I could even finish cooking my dumplings. We have tried to find a new one but because of the age of our home they don’t make one to fit in the opening. We are looking at having to redo cabinets to make the slot big enough even for the smaller ovens. Not an expense I was prepared for plus having no way to cook a meal. I would use this card to feed my family. 
Thank you for the opportunity to win a few meals for my family. 

I like to find Local Offers and get deals on pizzas or other take-out restaurant offerings during the busy holiday season--my limited cooking hours are usually spent baking holiday cookies to give as gifts to neighbors and friends. No time to make dinner! Thanks, AARP! 

  I use the Rewards Catalog to help in a few ways - I buy discounted cards to give as gifts, I use them to purchase gifts and I donate some to charities; I redeem points for gift cards to use as stocking stuffers and also to purchase gifts for others; and I buy/use food gift cards to treat myself and my family while out shopping or to relax at the end of the day.  There are so many wonderful ways that the Rewards Catalog has helped save me money, encouraged me to try new places and provided me with some free things. I love all of the ways that the Rewards Catalog has helped me stretch my budget.

 Using my reward points for gift cards is a great help especially when my grandkids come over that's when I order a pizza using the Domino's card. If I redeem one or two a month I save them like saving your money it adds up and reduces your amount due. I also like Khol's you can get just about everything at that store. And my favorite CVS e-card helps me purchase the necessary items I need to get me through the end of the month. I saved (3) $10 Cold Stone e-cards and that helped me a lot for my granddaughter's birthday. Thank you AARP

I check AARP Rewards daily for gift cards that I or my daughter can use. I look for Target, Walmart and JCPenney for me. My daughter is more of a Nike, Jersey Mike’s, Nordstrom and Old Navy shopper. I enter the monthly sweepstakes, hoping to win. I have become frustrated with the “Instant Wins.” It is tiresome seeing “Sorry, you didn’t win” for the past several years. Maybe I’ll get lucky one day.

Throughout this year my husband and I redeemed our points, as much as possible, for gift certificates to department stores.  I shop on-line and in person on a monthly basis, looking to combine store sales, coupons and credits with the AARP gift certificates.  This has really maximized savings.  We have accumulated 25 gifts for the Spark of Love Toy and Food drive in Ventura County, California.  Thank you, AARP, for your contribution in making 25 happy kids and parents this Christmas in Ventura County.
