AARP Rewards Travel Contest 2022 - 5/9-5/27/22

I decided to take a 7-night cruise to The Bahamas from Bayonne, NJ two weeks ago and clocked in 68,823 steps while on the weeklong cruise! I met some new friends and enjoyed water aerobics twice that week as well as walked through three of the ports of call, took two other exercise classes while aboard ship, and enjoyed two beaches. There have been some interesting quizzes I've taken on AARP REWARDS which have helped me learn about all sorts of things in the fitness and health and welfare realm and I've even synced my Fitbit to it. I plan to take another cruise this summer and hope to be able to purchase one of the Carnival Cruise gift cards and/or a Royal Caribbean gift card that AARP Rewards offers so I can save 10% on my next cruise this summer! (I've already redeemed some points to enter AARP's Summer Sweepstakes. How cool it would be to win that! Just the thought of winning that makes me smile. I LOVE AARP!)

I would like to travel to Charlevoix Mi to take the boat to Beaver Island for a few days. It would be for a time with a girl’s night out for my daughter and granddaughter’s who both graduated from college & high school in different settings in 2020 and my goal with chemo was to attend both ceremonies but was completely changed and we need this time together.

Well I’ve already taken two cruises, December and February. Now I’m planning a Mediterranean cruise out of Rome but before the cruise we will visit Paris, Venice and a few days in Rome. After the 10 day cruise, we will spend a few more days in Rome, then move on the Florence, taking a side trip to Tuscany and Pizza ( of course to the leaning tower). We will return to Paris for a couple of days and then back home to Texas. I know it will be a memorable adventure.

We are excited to travel to Glacier National Park!  We were unable to last year due to Covid and other personal issues.  We'll use our AARP Rewards to search for opportunities to save at shops and restaurants.  We are always so happy to whip out our AARP membership cards!

I started traveling before the pandemic ended. In the summer of 2021, I was delighted to be invited to join two friends on a three week RV trip to visit state and national parks in the West. We felt safe traveling with the RV, preparing our own meals, etc.  we will continue our adventure this summer taking day trips from Portland OR to explore oregon, Washington, and Idaho.  The AARP discounts/savings/prizes will contribute to a very memorable trip.   I’m 83 years old and was recently widowed.  RV traveling is the best!  It was my first time!!!   Hope you pick me!!! 

I'm not ready to travel out of state but I am going to go to a River Festival in state of Kansas in later there's normally a lot of people there and we're going my daughter and I are going to be walking in the walk Fest we might wear a mask if we go into a building but outside we're going to try to stay away from people but no mask.

I am planning a trip to Isla Mujere, Mexico late Oct/early Nov this year. We were going to go last year, but medical issues got in the way. Not worried about traveling. I'll just keep doing what I do to feel safe. Masking when around large crowds and on the planes and in the airports. I'm going to check to see where AARP is going to help me along the way before, during and after my trip. I have never used the travel services,  but this seems like the perfect time to start!

Hi I would spend the $100 to travel to Sedona, AZ. I live in Phoenix Arizona and I have been working as a Licensed Massage Therapist throughout the pandemic. I would spend this on a hotel and book a spa day myself. Thank-you.

I plan to travel to the UK (Scotland) this summer. I will be taking advantage of the 0% interest on purchases with my AARP Mastercard to pay for my trip. The AARP rewards will be used for dining. 

Hi all, we plan to see some of western Canada and hopefully catch sight of a few bears this fall. We will fly into Vancouver, overnight at the airport (Fairmont) then fly to Calgary where we will pick up a car using AARP’s Budget discount..on to Banff (great hotel deal here via AARP) then on to Jasper before taking the Rocky Mountaineer railroad back to Vancouver. Off next to Vancouver Island to hopefully see some bears at Knight Inlet, this time with an Avis AARP discounted rental. Not sorted all the hotels yet but we will hopefully have fun and meet a few AARP fans on route.
