Rewarding Moments: How I Decide

I no longer try to earn rewards except for the few games I play that have rewards. There have been too many glitches in the AARP system and no one ever responds. I play the game I like now, and IF I get rewards for them (this does not ALWAYS happen), I use the points to redeem for instant wins and sweepstakes. I wasted far too much time watching the same videos over and over and doing the same quizzed every month.

I like Home Depot, Walmart, Amazon, Home Goods, CVS, Best Buy and Kohls for points only. I try to buy the Daily Deal gift cards for CVS, Home Depot and Best Buy, but I'm not always quick enough!

I wish they would bring back Target gift cards!

I choose for points only redemptions for retailers that I usually patronize. My preferences are Amazon, Walmart, and Petsmart, Then Panera Bread which has some nice bread, Walgreens and Barnes & Noble. When AARP Rewards had Target redemptions, they used to be my first choice.

Along the years I have found out that almost anything else will be a waste of points for me and will remain unused.

Restaurants and Amazon or Walmart for Points Only.  

I order the discounted gift certificates for Christmas gifts, print them out, and wrap them in boxes.
