Totally fair! Do you usually save your points for something specific?

Yes, I enter sweepstakes to try to get gift cards for movies and such.

I have never used AARP For A Valentine's Day Present! But I Would Totally Try It If The Option Presented Itself

Great idea! Checking the Rewards catalog early can sometimes help, especially around holidays when popular items go quickly. Hope you find just what you’re looking for this year!

No. I was hoping to use my rewards points to get a gift card that I could use for Valentine's Day, but all of the ones I would have liked to use were sold out so fast, that I couldn't get them. It would be nice if the program would have more gift cards, so members could use their rewards points to get them.

I’m sorry to hear that — I know it can be disappointing when popular gift cards sell out quickly. 

 

They do tend to go fast, especially around holidays. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, and we’ll be sure to note it. 

 

Thanks for being part of the Rewards program and for sharing your experience.

That’s lovely! Proflowers is a great choice.  Were they for someone special — or a little treat for yourself? Either way, well done!

I never receive enough points to get anything!

if you’re short on time, sort the Earn points by video only.  Choose one, hit play then walk away.  After it plays hit your back button to go to the next one on the list, and so on…

Thanks for sharing! It’s fun seeing how members get inspired by each other’s ideas. Hope it turns into a great redemption this year!

Redeemed for Flemings and Carrabbas, since finding out they are part of the same umbrella chain as Outback.  2 at one swoop was nice!

What a great find!  That’s a smart way to maximize your points — two favorites in one swoop is definitely a win!

 

Sounds like a delicious way to celebrate. Thanks for sharing your experience — we love hearing how members make the most of their AARP Rewards!

 

If you’re enjoying the conversation, feel free to give the post a 👍 so others can see these great ideas too!
