AARP Rewards Online Community Budget Contest 2025

I keep a monthly budget book since I am kind of a money saving nerd. I actually enjoy keeping track of spending and get excited over the $5 and $10 gift cards that I earn/win from the games, videos and quizzes. I also like the informative videos such as the ones on pickleball.My husband is now doing the Sudoku and trivia games, he enjoys, to earn points.

The free cross word puzzle games save on paper subscriptions to get a daily new game. 

 I have used AARP Rewards at Burger King- can type in gift card number at pinpad. Better not to print e-gift cards on paper if possible, as printer ink can be expensive.

I’ve been able to use AARP discounts at restaurants (Outback and Auntie Anne’s). I also love that after learning new information from a variety of quizzes and videos I can win money saving gift cards to Jersey Mike’s, Macy’s and Hime Depot. I’ve also turned in points for added gift cards at TJMaxx, saving me even more. My kids love that I can get discounted gift cards too.  AARP rewards has saved me real cash and I’m just getting started.

II have mostly been able to save money on groceries and health related items by using the fitness tracker rewards at Walmart. We live in a small town and with very few restaurants so I don't buy gift cards to eat out. The only thing that I can really save on are those things at Walmart that I need and when I book travel online. I did win a few gas cards and those came in handy when I had to travel for medical appointments.  Thank you AARP for all you do to make sure that we are well informed about all the things that concern us. 

 We have been able to take advantage of the many ways AARP Rewards can help us stick to a budget.  One way is the Rewards Near Me.  There are BOGO's for food, museums, family activities and entertainment.  There are also deep discounts, sometimes up to 25% off in some cases!!  Another great way to keep to a budget is participating in the quizzes and videos to earn points that you can use towards gift cards.  We've been able to eat "on the cheap" just by using points to use on FREE $5 or $10 gift cards.  Every little bit helps!!  AARP is instrumental in helping seniors save money and be informed through the videos and quizzes.  I'm sure there is a good deal of work that AARP puts into getting the gift cards from merchants and finding resources for the videos and quizzes!  This is MUCH appreciated!  Thank you for all you do, AARP!!

  I do my best to monitor grocery store sales and purchase accordingly -- avoid as much impulse buying as possible.  I also enjoy taking advantage of "free" opportunities from AARP (such as Movies for Grownups) and local events -- you don't have to lose out on fun activities when you are watching your pennies.
