Re: Tips on winning a daily instant reward

     It seems to be totally random so the only tip I can give is just to play it everyday. I have hit it 3 times doing that plus I have also hit the weekly prize once.

    Andrew ​@andrewtoo , I am "thinking" it depends on how POPULAR the card is & IF it is the LAST day to win it. Lol, but NOT saying I have all this "figured" out. CONGRATS my friend!!! 🎉🙃👍💃

    Still at ONE Instant Win (Staples) for 2026 which I had won THIS MONTH 9/4 at about 8:30pm ET.

    I have been using our Les's ​@LesL269823 ADVICE about trying for the "less" popular cards. Seemed to work for me with the Staples Instant Win I won.

    I only "play" for the cards I want NOT all of them. And I play when I "remember" & have the time & not asleep. 😉

    Anyone else won YESTERDAY/TODAY or have any tips to share with us?

    GOOD luck All,

    Nicole 💛🤗

    I may not win again for months, but, I just won another IW at 1:40AM ET this morning.

    That is three in one month and that has never happened before.

    It makes me wonder if people are discouraged by the points needed for

    gift card redemptions and don’t want to spend even more time to earn the points for instant wins? 

    Good Luck Everybody

    Anyone won any YESTERDAY?

    Geez, won my 1st for this year on 9/4 about 8:30pm ET (Staples) & hoping to win at least another one before 2027 arrives. 🤞

    GOOD LUCK All,

    Nicole!

    Have FUN with all this & just try when you think of it.

    Lol, NOT sure "if" this made a difference, but the 1 Instant Win I won THIS MONTH (Staples) was on the LAST DAY.

    Maybe "trying" LATE (night) on that LAST DAY may help. My Staples happened about 8:30pm ET.

    I’m always sorry to read about people who never win an Instant Win game.  I try to play every day, and I play all of the Instant Wins that are available.

    I won on 9/1/26 and 9/7/26, which is unusual.  The entry on 9/1/26 was via the free entry method at 7:30 PM ET and on the 7th at around 11:50 PM ET spending the 75 points.

    I just continue playing and, eventually, I win...8 times this year so far.

    Good Luck (if you are still trying to win)!

    What weekly prize?  I know about daily instant wins and monthly sweepstakes, but I’m not familiar with a weekly prize.

    Renate ​@RenateW69623 , they posted about the "Weekly Prize" 6 years ago. Maybe back then there was one.

    Ha, I didn’t see that this was a really old post.  Thanks for pointing that out.

    AARP maybe needs to upgrade to a faster server to host their AARP Rewards site? latency for the instant wins games every other day or so is hard.

    Hello @mjt1959 

    Did you use Points or Free Method to win your (2) Daily and (1) Weekly Instant Wins?  Time of day (PST, MT, CST, EST)?

     

    No luck since the program went live, I had some wins in Nov., Dec. 2019, but nothing this year.  I think I'm blocked, just holding points.  ThanksSmiley Happy

     

    Have a Blessed Day
