AARP Rewards Online Community Budget Contest 2025

I like to earn points by watching and exercising.  I earn points I can use to buy restaurant gift cards to take myself out to dinner once a month!

The AARP rewards program helps me learn to save money by providing useful information through the videos, quizzes, and newsletters that I receive points from. Learning while earning makes it very easy. Once I have enough points, I am able to redeem for gift cards at the stores I already shop at!

I use the travel discounts for hotel and especially rental car to stretch my travel and get extra rental car perks!

I enter the Instant Win sweepstakes every day, with an occasional win -- still fun to try, though. Recently, I won a Shari's Berries $10 card, which I then paired with a $50 discounted card for the same company and sent a LOVELY fruit arrangement for a friend's birthday. I add all my cards to my Google Wallet so I have them organized and can review which ones I have ready to use for purchases.

Not only am I learning something by watching the videos and taking the quizzes the bonus is the rewards points.  i am able to redeem for gift cards that help with the cost at stores like CVS, Chipolte, Ulta and my favorite Amazon.   I also try for my favorite daily deals but I have not been successful in purchasing any this year.  

Kids need books. Favorite entertainers need to make a living. Let me show you how AARP Rewards has helped me preorder my favorite parodist and entertainer Randy Rainbow's new picture book, "Randy Rainbow and the Marvelously Magical Pink Glasses". I wanted to buy several copies, for my grandchildren and my young neighbors; a total of 4 copies at $18.99 each, which come to the hefty price of $75.96 (+ taxes). However along the months, I accumulated a few for points only Barnes and Noble gift cards to a grand total of $45. That means a discount of 59% thanks to AARP Rewards.  Magically, my purchase has become much more affordable! I can't wait to distribute those lovely picture books which will bring smiles to happy little faces!

I use the Aarp Reward to purchase a $100.00 e-giftcard and I pay only $96.00 for it (which it is a discount of $4.00) and I order my favorite food every Thursday which I call it Fish and Chips Thursday.

The AARP Rewards Programs helps me save when I have enough points to redeem for gift cards like Petco or Petsmart because I currantly have 10 rescued cats and every little bit helps to feed and take care of them.  I enjoy AARP and how easy it is to rack up points while at the same time, learn something or stay sharp.  The games too, are a fun way of entertainment and I always try to en corporate AARP into my day.    I am on a tight budget and make a list of monthly expenses.  Hopefully, theres a gift card in there that iv gotten from AARP. 

 I keep my Barclay's AARP Mastercard in my wallet. I make sure all of my prescriptions and Medical Co-pays are put on the card. I pay the bill off every month. The 3% rewards on prescriptions and the 2% reward on medical expenses add up quickly. I then use my rewards to buy gift cards for restaurants. The best meal is a FREE meal ! 🙂
