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

    My friend and I decided to forget Christmas gifts for each other, and instead use my AARP Rewards to get a special offer at a local restaurant. A relaxing experience is better for us than giving each other another item we don't need around the house.

      Watching videos and answering quizzes daily is how I save all my reward points and use later for great gifts and discounted gift cards for daily use and as giving for gifts. Thanks again AARP. and Happy Holidays to ALL.

        Recently won a Sweepstakes for Cracker Barrel Restaurants and with it I invited my mom, pops and sister for a late lunch.

         

        Mom - loved the meatloaf

        Pops - with his usual line... "ahh- it's ok, but I could have made it better"

        Sister - half smiles and grins at my generosity

        Me - easy to please; good eatin' plus if I could get a good deal so much the better too.... and it doesn't get any better than with a sweepstakes win from the Rewards program here.

         

        With gift cards, some Instant Wins, and a few Sweepstakes Wins - the Rewards program helps me provide small gestures of appreciation for my moms, pops and sister, too.

          We love the AARP restaurant discounts especially when we are out shopping so we don't have to fuss when we return home.

            I've been a member of AARP since 2006 and have enjoyed the magazine content ever since. I've been playing AARP Rewards online, I've enjoyed the quizzes and videos to learn more about exercise, finance, and other factors important in my retirement. I have been using the Rewards for sweepstakes entries that can help family and community - most recently Home Depot and the Thankful for our Community Sweepstakes. I also enjoy going out to restaurants and the discounts and gift cards help with limited finances. Thanks AARP! Happy Holidays to all!

              I primarily use my points to sign up for sweepstakes and instant win opportunities.  I enjoy the magazines and money saving tips and the articles.

                I’m happy to use my points to get entries into contests and for gift cards for my wonderful family ( especially my 7 grandchildren! ) to use. What fun!

                    As a member of AARP for a few years now, I have come to appreciate the Rewards program & the gift certificates I have purchased with points. These help me get more bang for my buck when shopping for holiday gifts for friends and family.  They also help me shop without the need for braving holiday crowds & traffic since so many can be redeemed online.  Limited income seniors can struggle with discretionary spending for items that are a treat, rather than a necessity.  These gifts bring a little generosity and joy when resources are scarce and help me make my dollars holler!

                      This is my first year with AARP and i have been using the cards to save money for a future cruise with the family. I have also been entering the sweepstakes in hopes to give them more this year.
