Thank you AARP for adding a 3rd Staples $5 "points only" cards to your Rewards Site yesterday. 👍💃🎉🙃

It has ONLY been two for EACH MONTH.

Hope this continues moving forward. 🤞

I luv shopping at the Staples down my hill here in Virginia.

Everyone, have a GREAT Sunday. 39 degrees here. ☃️

Nicole!

We have NEVER WON anything.  Odds are horrible.  Far too many points are required to earn what wouldn’t even get you a cup of coffee.

​@communityname5678 , Hi.  I’ve used 3 Amazon gift cards this month. Will be going out to dinner with 4 Chilis gift cards totaling $20.   I’ve got 3 Outback ones waiting in the wings to use as well.

 You may not think $5 is much, but they add up, and many stack.

 

 I always get Amazon or restaurant cards every month.  And always have enough points to get my 3 cards a month allotment every month. 

 

I use throw-away points on Instant wins and sweepstakes.  I’ve won a few Instant wins games, and no sweepstakes.  Cards for points is the way to go.  Would I like it to be more $, sure, would I like more than 3 a month, sure.  It’s easy money for free.  Dont want it….send them my way!

Rewards are fun & exciting; regardless if it’s a win or knowledge AARP is great to have access too! 
It’s recommended to others all the time to stay informed ; no site can match AARP 🔥

I strive to find something positive about the entire setup.  By statistics alone, over the past I don’t know HOW many years, I have never won a single solitary thing, meaning there are better odds playing the Lottery than this, as I HAVE won with that!  Couple it with mostly upside down point or cash to prizes (ex: 16,000 points for a $5 certificate? Please. It’s only because I do enjoy taking the various quiz(s) offered that I continue.. Loosen the purse strings a little, will ya!

I’ll take your Fivers!

I stack ‘em and can save the price of an entire meal.  Would it be nice if they were for more, yes… but if someone gave you $5 would you turn free cash down?  I’ll take it any day.

I like to use my reward points for gift cards on Amazon and various restaurants.  Being able to stack multiple Chili’s restaurant gift cards in particular one time made the entire family happy.  Knocking $15-$20 off a single bill was fun!  Normally have more than one after collecting them.

 

One thing in particular that would make me actually Fall In Love with the Reward Program, is if AARP members would be able to obtain more than 3 gift cards for points in a given month.  The selection and frequency has gotten better in my opinion, and allowing a larger limit per month for points only, would be fantastic!
