Share how you use the Rewards Catalog to support your holiday giving and budgeting for a chance to win one of eight (8) $50 gift cards.

Examples from last year's winners posts:

"One of the most meaningful aspects of the holidays to me is the time I get to spend with others. Using the AARP Rewards, I am looking forward to meals out at a favorite restaurant with family and/or friends where I will get to spend some quality one-on-one time with them while enjoying a meal thanks to AARP!"

"This is my first year as an AARP Member. I love learning through the different activities, to save up Reward Points, which helps me to purchase our favorite restaurant gift cards, for fast food, or dining out for special events, or for grocery shopping. I love to give these gifts cards to my adult daughter, to enjoy for an easy dinner out where she doesn't have to cook after working her daily shift. It shows my appreciation, and it is a big savings on items we would most likely purchase anyway."

Runs from 10/18 - 12/12/23. Click here for rules

I cash in points to get free gift cards and I buy discounted gift cards. I usually use the gift cards myself to get other things for friends and family members.

As a single 69 y.o. woman, still working because Social Security and a small retirement fund are not enough to give me joy, I love earning points to redeem on gift cards. When I can share it, it gives me even more joy.

I enjoy earning points so I can enter drawings for gift cards and cash to help with holiday . I haven't won anything yet but it is fun to try and I gain a lot of useful information from the quizzes.

I joined AARP this year and LOVE it! I quickly learned that the educational videos and games I enjoy playing can give me reward points to use for instant wins, sweepstake entries, gifts like e-cards and magazines, and discounted gift cards. Cool! As a 53-year-old single mom with chronic, debilitating health problems, I struggle to make ends meet and give to others. My mobility is impaired which makes it difficult to get out and enjoy simple activities and pleasures in life. However, my mental and physical health has improved since using the rewards system in the AARP app. I used reward points to buy 2 discounted gift cards this November; my daughters and I enjoyed pizza delivery for birthdays, and I gave one of them a gift card as a gift! This saved me money that I can use towards Thanksgiving dinner. 🙂 I’ve never won an instant win….until today! After watching educational videos and playing games, I entered and instantly won a free $10 gift card to my favorite bath store!!!! I usually give what I have to others, but I’m keeping that one as a Christmas gift to myself for staying positive and never giving up. The games and Staying Sharp app have improved my outlook, focus, memory, and they’re fun! I feel more confident about getting older now, more knowledgeable and less scared. I stopped coloring my hair to save money, be healthier, and embrace my natural beauty…I’ll never go back. I even used reward points for a hotel gift card sweepstakes, and if I win, I’ll be treating me and my best friend to a weekend getaway (Christmas gift) to celebrate our friendship and enjoy time together without the daily stressors in life. I’m definitely giving discounted gift cards as Christmas gifts because I see favorite restaurants and stores available. Plus, I’ll be sending their e-cards for holiday greetings. As another Christmas present to myself, I’ll be renewing with AARP in December because it’s helping me be a healthier and happier woman, friend, and mom; it allows me to give more to others and myself. With the holiday season starting, we all need to care for ourselves so we can then care and give to our loved ones. That’s what gives life meaning: healthy, loving relationships which bring us joy. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all!!

I love entering the sweepstakes and instant wins. I also like to enter codes to earn points that I can redeem for gift cards to help with groceries and eating out. Every little bit helps to make ends meet!

Actually, as I came across this contest I was going to search for a particular gift card for my son's birthday. That's how I like to save my points for rewards.
