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

    With money being tight, I like to use the AARP rewards catalog to purchase gift cards at a discounted price.  I enjoy giving gift cards as gifts and this helps me save money.  AARP provides me the opportunity to use my rewards points to receive free gift cards that allows me to stretch my spending dollars.  Thank you, AARP!!

    Holiday giving with the AARP rewards catalog helps me stay on budget.  I love to donate to a local non-profit organization I had previous worked closely with during my working years, to empower women.  A great gift is a gift basket filled with everyday personal care necessities along with some splurge beauty products.  I can really use the catalog to bring down my out of pocket expense by buying discounted gift cards.  For example, today is a gift card form Ulta for a 30% discount.  I can purchase this card and use sales and coupons to get more items for less money.  The gift baskets are a great way to bring a smile to women working on being their best version of themselves.

        I bought the carnival gift cards with a discount for Christmas gifts for family going on a cruise. I’m on a budget and this helped me save.

          AARP Rewards offers wonderful savings on grocery gift cards. It used to be that my daughters and I would buy non-perishable items to help stock food pantries for the holidays. They loved to push those little shopping carts and fill them on their own. Now that they are young adults, we use the gift cards to help buy items to prepare a holiday meal and take it to the food shelters. The Rewards Program has enabled us to save, give, and learn a little cooking while we are at it (although cooking is still a work-in-progress that we're enjoying together).

            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.

              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!

                  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!

                    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.
