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'm using my rewards to try to win a $100 home depot card for my son who bought a "fixer upper" this year, and the NFL card for me cuz my bday is in Dec and this has been a rough year money wise, I'm on disability and having trouble keeping up with this runaway inflation. Love playing the games and earning points to try for the cards!

My husband loves to cook so for holiday gifts we select a "food theme" and host monthly meals for our family throughout the year. Our current theme is soups/stews. I use the AARP Rewards catalog to purchase grocery gift cards (at a discounted price!). The gift cards are used to purchase seasonal items and weekly specials (more savings!) to freeze and have available for the family meals. I enjoy earning AARP Rewards points for exploring recipe ideas for our meals and learning more about saving/budgeting with the quizzes and videos. I also purchase (or try to win the Sweepstakes/Instant Savings using my Rewards Points!) restaurant/travel gift cards for out-of-state family members and department store gift cards (to purchase clothing/toys) for the younger members of our family. The Daily Deal gift cards provide amazing savings!

I am working on finding a semi-retirement job and find you career information very up to date and will be taking advantage of your networking offers. I am also planning on using my rewards to get discount shopping gift cards like Target and CVS to buy my family the holiday gifts that they want and will put to good use.

As a first year member, I was very excited to see and participate in your wonderful classes and read your interesting articles on Fitness, Advocacy for seniors and Health. I am looking forward to utilizing your many travel discount programs as well.
