     I am new here.  I have been using my earned credits to enter contests.  I will see how that goes over this first year.  Seems the majority is saying guaranteed rewards so maybe the sweepstakes aren't that successful? We shall see

      It does happen with the sweeps and instant wins. @JamieS917081  but if you see a e-gift card for points-only that you like, that’s a lock in my book.  😃

      I've been doing the instant wins and tried a few sweepstakes, but haven't won anything yet. So, I find the guaranteed rewards more motivating.

            Guaranteed Rewards. Sweepstakes are a waste of time and points! Never a winner!

                Instant wins and sweepstakes. I have won 3 instant wins in 6 weeks.  I do them daily.  No sweepstakes win.  However, I did buy 5 $500 Holland gift card for $50 off, and saved $250 on my cruise. Thank you AARP.
