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 use the rewards catalog  to purchase discounted gift cards and restaurant gift cards.  This allows me to spend over my budget.   Gives me great pleasure to see friends and family enjoying these gifts!

    And I do use them to enter sweepstakes and instant win contests.

      AARP rewards is a wonderful program through which I can earn free gifts by redeeming my points. I can regularly participate in the sweeptakes( I rarely win). But it does not matter whether I win or not. It is very much enjoyable to participate in all the activities of AARP rewards. It also enables me to buy Gift cards at discount. It also offers lot of other benefits.Morethan the monetary benefits these give me a chance to keep me very much live throughout the day. It gives me HOPE. It has an entertainment factor. Often I used to think about my life SANS AARP. It is unthinkable. Thank you

         I like doing the activities and taking the quizzes to earn points that I can redeem for gift cards to a variety of places and give them as gifts to other family members and friends. Also telling them what AARP has to offer.

          AARP Rewards are addictive! Once I start taking a quiz or watching a video, I can't seem to stop. Time passes very quickly! I do appreciate the variety of choices and the information I am able to garner. The rewards are an added perk. I usually do gift cards as stocking stuffers for my kids and husband. It is always nice to get them at a discount. I always enter the sweepstakes offers and keep my fingers crossed that I might win. It literally costs me nothing to try, because the knowledge I gained has already given me a win! I love taking advantage of savings during the holidays, but also great to use them year round for birthdays, an anniversary, holidays and of course a personal treat! Thanks AARP!

            I like redeeming for gift cards at discounted rates and also trying to win!   Most everyday I’m earning my max points viewing interesting videos or taking quizzes.   Since they are relevant to me, time passes quickly.   Thanks for providing such good information.

              Some say, holiday shopping is a time when most people break their budgets! I say holiday shopping is a time when big savings can be realized through a combination of daily deals, redemption of gift cards for points, “Near you” deals and strategic shopping with the help of AARP Rewards.
              Within the AARP Rewards catalog, you can redeem your rewards points or purchase select items at a discount of up to 30%. You can redeem up to 3 gift cards monthly. I try to choose the same gift card month after month to accumulate a larger balance for gift giving.
              Daily Deals - New “Daily Deals” are available Monday through Friday from 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. ET or while supplies last. These are gift cards with up to a 30% discount, from restaurants, grocery stores and retail stores. These are perfect for gifts or purchase these discounted cards and shop when items are on sale for a larger discount.
              Instant wins - Try for a chance to win gift cards. Yes these are difficult to win, but persistence is key. I save my gift cards until I have a larger balance to purchase gifts.
              Near you- These are local deals near you, mostly restaurants, but local merchants as well. I have an outlet mall near me that often has deals listed - Browse for deals near you! Redeem for points then, print, or save to your mobile device, then present the coupon to the merchant. These are perfect for family holiday get togethers on a budget, and local shopping.
              Like anything, success is in the details, and this does take a bit of planning for successful strategic shopping. With the combination of all of these sections of the rewards catalog and obtaining multiple gift cards from the same merchant, maximizes savings. This is how i save on holiday shopping and budgeting with the help of AARP Rewards Catalog.

                Saving money when purchasing Gift Cards is wonderful! So nice to enjoy a meal out or give a card as a gift. Contests are a favorite way to earn points and so educational! Thank you AARP

                     I enjoy earning points by playing the games and watching videos, then using the points for gift cards. At times I have tried out different products I never would have before. I especially enjoy gift cards for dining out.

                       1  I use the gift cards as gifts or towards gifts for my children and grandchildren by saving them up for holiday shopping.  If I win a restaurant gift card, it is a special treat for my husband and I to go out to dinner. Holiday Savings, AARP Rewards, Contest 2023, budget
