AARP Rewards Holiday Savings & Budget Contest 2023

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!

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 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.

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 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.

I like to give gift cards at the holiday so people can pick what they like, and I am grateful to AARP for offering them at a discount so I can save $$ too 😉 

I have a favorite women’s shelter that I donate to. During the holidays I like to pack bags with goodies (toiletries, perfume, lipstick, anything to make the ladies feel special, etc.) to give to the shelter. I recently purchased two different tote bags using my AARP points. I will also fill these bags and two ladies will be very happy to get them. They have so little, these will become a cherished possession. Thank you AARP.

     I think the opportunity for AARP rewards is a wonderful way to have some fun and benefit yourself, your family, and others. There are plenty of business' offered to find your favorite food or dept store that is favored and patronized to help curb inflation. It's nice to surprise those we love by putting some discounts in their stocking this Christmas. Everyone benefits, including the business'. I know I appreciate the variety and monthly change up of what's offered, including swapping points for gifts like insulated bags, pill dispensers etc. You never know what's to come so you anxiously stay alert for new ideas, gifts, restaurants. Thank you AARP

The AARP Rewards program gives me so many opportunities to save money.  I can buy items outright with points - for myself or for gifts.  We used a TopGolf discount e-card to play with our kids and grandkids on a recent vacation.  I often buy the Safeway discount e-cards for grocery shopping and save 8% on my grocery purchases -- a real savings with the price of groceries always going up!  Thank you, AARP, for the many ways you have helped me save money over the years!

Re: AARP Rewards Holiday Savings and Budget Contest

It is fun! to earn points and survey the options for redeeming them from the safety of the computer where the pandemic can't trouble my enjoyment.  I have actually won an INSTANT WIN gift card (to my great surprise) and can use the discounts on many retailers to pass on to others who can go out to those stores ln person.  Thank goodness for USPS, UPS, and FedEX for making my world a bit wider and to AARP for helping my mind and wallet to a  better place ...    I also notice how trusting we members are to view and participate in this AARP event by the huge difference in the number of views made here and the number who looked at the rules--a testament to the comfortable relationship we have in this organization.  Thanks for brightening the holiday season!!
