It’s definitely an option!  AARP Rewards points can be redeemed for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, and more — which can come in handy for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.

 

You can browse available rewards anytime in the Rewards catalog to see what’s currently available.

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

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…
