I have an easy one.

I use Google shopping. It shows all the stores that offer the item I am interested in. Along with price and availability.

I track all gifts in a spreadsheet I made - every year! It helps budget, track past gifts, keep ideas for future gifts, and even to check if if I’ve wrapped them or not 😆

  I usually save up my points towards the end of the year to redeem for a gift card for a special person.  I so enjoy the learning process involved in the earning AARP Rewards offers me.  Thank you so much for this unique opportunity!

I ’m new to AARP and just started earning reward points.

I think I’ll try to save them up and see what rewards inspire me.

I save my Rewards Points for restaurant gift cards. On Tuesdays, I treat my grandson to lunch out after we go to our local library’s story hour. Tuesdays have become our special day together and it’s inexpensive thanks to the restaurant cards I earn through the Rewards Program.

We have enjoyed the AARP Now app so much that we gifted a couple of memberships to our friends and family!

     I thoroughly enjoy the AARP Rewards.  I watch the videos and participate in the quizzes to earn points daily.  Last month I entered several of the sweepstakes, and I said, "if I win the Door Dash Prize, I will gift it to my daughter."  I am so thrilled that I won, and my daughter is so thankful for the $200 gift card. I love AARP Rewards.

I save with AARP Rewards by doing the quizzes and videos whenever I’m pretending to “be productive.” Turns out, earning points is way easier than finding my reading glasses. I stack up points, grab discounted gift cards, and suddenly I feel like a coupon-clipping ninja minus the scissors. It’s the easiest money I’ve ever saved without leaving the couch.

I save with AARP Rewards by turning everyday moments into easy wins. I complete the short quizzes and videos while having my morning coffee, and the points add up faster than I expected. I also check for discounted gift cards before I shop those savings stack up throughout the year. The program keeps me motivated with simple goals, and I like that I can redeem points for practical rewards that actually help my budget.

I've used reward points to purchase grocery store gift cards ~ they definitely help stretch my holiday food budget.  
 
Buying a $25 grocery gift card for $20 means a lot when I'm buying ingredients for baking my family's favorite cookies, etc.  We all know groceries are expensive, so that extra $5 helps offset the higher prices I see every time I shop.  I'm very grateful for what I call my AARP gift card bonus!

You have given me a great idea: From now on, I will redeem my AARP points for grocery gift cards to give a friend who needs them more than me.💝
