I have loved entering the instant win for gift cards. I have earned about $45 and use the gift cards to lower the amount I pay out of pocket at the stores. I haven't won a sweepstakes yet but am still entering

I collect points for gift cards that I use for myself or give as gifts for occasions. I also purchase the discounted gift cards to save a little money on things I would purchase anyway.

When I make purchases I have the change going into a savings account. From there, I can decide where I want to move the money too. Also buying what I need at the grocery store versus what I want. Staying off of the shopping sites online. Recycling and up cycling outfits

I exercise my brain with the games, learn from the videos and quizzes while earning rewards points. I've definitely saved money between using the points for discount coupons and occasionally getting an offered item which I've used .myself or given as gifts. It's a "win-win"--thanks for the program!

I keep up with earning points to cash in for gift cards and enter the sweepstakes. I also enjoy learning with the short quizes and content about how to improve my health. I use the movies for grownups instead of going to the movies. I have also listened to concerts and do the meditation and physical workouts in AARP which saves me paying for those activities at a gym or center.

I love saving money wherever I can and one of the ways is by doing the AARP quizzes and watching the videos. I also learn alot while doing them. I then cash out my points for gift cards, usually to restaurants. It's nice to eat out but save money at the same time. I've also bought discounted gift cards from AARP when they have their daily gift card special that is steeply discounted. Love it. Thank you so much AARP.

Earning points via videos and quizzes and redeeming them for gift cards and sweepstakes entries is a Win Win! I learn from the earning activities and save money on the redemptions.
