WE can sometimes "predict" WHEN certain cards will be posted EACH MONTH = so we WAIT. 👍

Then we have cards that are posted ONLY "once" for EACH MONTH.

Add the VERY POPULAR & sometimes hard to get Walmart & Amazon cards.

Lol, of course like with life - nothing is guaranteed!!! 😂

(1) What are YOUR PLANS for the cards you want? Maybe a vacation? Or a night out? Or just regular grocery shopping?

(2) Stop by when you can to SHARE with us & READ what OTHER members have posted.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE,

Nicole 🤗💛

(1) Anyone "win" any Instant Wins YESTERDAY OR TODAY? Me, nope! 🙄

(2) What Instants & Sweepstakes are you entering? 🤔

(2) Still doing my 10 entries for the Staples Sweepstakes daily. And just played the Barnes & Noble and Staples Instant Wins. Lol, HOPING to win my 1st Sweepstake ever since joining the AARP Rewards Program May 2025 & my 2nd Instant for 2026. 🤞 Won a Staples Instant on 9/4/26. Won two Instants in 2025, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Good Luck Everyone!!!

(1) What is your FAV way to EARN POINTS? 🤔

(2) Anyone "win" any Instant Wins YESTERDAY OR TODAY? Me, nope! 🙄

Lol, getting to the END of my "short" videos (less than 3 minutes) & already completed ALL "quizzes" = now to deal with those 10-minute videos. 😞 So glad we have ONLY 5 more days before AARP "resets" these.

HAPPY FRIDAY All,

Nicole 💛🤗

Anyone win one of the Barnes & Noble Instant Wins that is on the Reward site at the moment? 🤔 Geez, I have been trying. NO luck!!! 😞

GOOD luck with getting what you want all. 🤞

Take care,

Nicole 🤗💛

7 MORE DAYS UNTIL OCTOBER 1st!!! A chance to "snag" MORE Staples eGiftcard. Thank you AARP. 🙃

October 14th is the day this month's Sweepstakes Winners will be "notified". Geez, hope I am one.

(1) DID ANYONE WIN ANY SWEEPSTAKES for last month (August)? Me, nope! 😞

(2) What Sweepstakes are you "entering" this month (September)? 🤔

Me, just Staples. Lol, figured NOT many members are "interested". Just maybe I will be a winner. 🤞

Now in order to get rid of some EXPIRING POINTS before I "lose" them, I just did 10 Entries for Walmart & Amazon. Doubt I will win, but better than giving AARP back my hard-earned points. 😉

GOOD luck all,

Nicole!

Anyone win any "Instant Wins" yesterday or today? 🤔

Geez, finally MAXED OUT on earning points just now. Took forever!!! Now to HOPE I "win" something tonight after 12am ET. Still stuck at one Staples Instant (only win this year 2026). 😞

Good Luck All 👍

Nicole!

Anyone won any Instant Wins yesterday & today? Me, nope!!! 😞

Keeping my fingers crossed the new Staples point only card will be still be there October 1st. They usually do two each month & so far I have been able to get them BOTH on the 1st. 👍

Lol, NOT holding my breath on winning the Staples Sweepstake for THIS MONTH. But hey, the Merkle AI may feel sorry for me and send one my way. Could use that $100 at the Staples down my hill here in Virginia. 🤞

HAPPY SUNDAY ALL,

Nicole 🙃

What Sweepstakes, if any, are you guys "focusing" on for THIS MONTH? 🤔

Me, only Staples!!! 🤞

And I am doing the MAX of 10 entries DAILY. Never won a Sweepstakes since joining the AARP Rewards Program May 2025. Won 2 Instant Wins in 2025 & 1 this year.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE,

Nicole 🤗💛

Had a really GOOD MONTH THIS MONTH (September)!!! Was able to "redeem" for two Staple cards & won one $10 Staple card on 12/4/26. My 1st INSTANT WIN for this year 2026.

Heading to library tomorrow to "print" them out to use NEXT WEEK. Hoping to "snag" MORE next month (October). And have been getting the MAX entries (10) for the Sweepstakes for Staples. I am listening to our Les's @LesL269823 SUGGESTION of "focusing" on a few & maybe "try" for the LESS POPULAR. Never won a Sweepstakes since "joining" the Awards Program May 2025. Won 2 Instants in 2025 & grateful. 🙃 GOOD Luck All!!! 🤞 Nicole 🤗💛

Does anyone "remember" the LAST TIME there were "points only" Best Buy and Bath & Body Works cards?

With AARP removing all of the old history, I was NOT able to scroll back.

Geez, I HOPE we are still getting those as I have NO LUCK with getting them through Instant Wins or Sweepstakes. 🤞

GRATEFUL I was able to get the TWO Staples that has been sitting on the Rewards Site for some time. Lol, time to "load up" on those as Staples is VERY EXPENSIVE but has "nice" stuff.

I am still okay for Bath & Body Works, but now wondering IF there will be a "points only" cards for THIS MONTH.

As far as I can tell, there were NO Extra Credit for them but I was "half asleep" at midnight on the 1st = could have missed it.

Anyway, GOOD LUCK Renate @RenateW69623 with "snagging" a "points only" Best Buy.

Maria @MariaK113398 , did you get your 3 redemptions for THIS MONTH or still waiting? I was surprised I was able to get 3 I could use. Lol, NOT my 1st choices but GRATEFUL. They were 2 Staples & 1 Wagreens. 👍

Tigger @4Tigger2 , what about you? Got all 3 or waiting?

HAPPY Friday All,

Nicole 💛🤗

Ive redeemed for B&BW Jan, Feb this year and around the 3rd week of Sept last year.

I watch Facebook for the one day sales for $1,$2,$4,$5, $6 and go to the physical store then.

If you have your email and phone registered and give the info at checkout, They still mail or post coupons in the app, although not as many.

They also have a super one/two day sale for the large candles in Dec.

No idea on Best Buy. They do send an occasional $5 or $10 coupon for a registered account.

I only redeemed for one gc so far. Hth
