🤔 What "points only" AARP Reward eGiftcards are you HOPING to "snag"?

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 🤗💛

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

[Friday 8/28/26] 3 days & counting! 🎉

Hoping the "multiple" Walgreens & Staples will still be there September 1st. Have enough Bath & Body Works at the moment (luv their candles & smell good lotions). Have yet to use "cards" at Walgreens. Want to do so at the store in my area. DONOT "trust" online in my OLD age. Have several nearby here in Virginia. Been YEARS since I have been to a Walgreens. Lol, need to do this BEFORE old man winter arrives or wait until Spring. I live on a hill & learn't the hard way to "stay home" when the weatherman tells you to. 😂 Our winters are getting worst. Back in 2018, they were "mild". LAST one had us "trapped" for a week due to "thick" ice that took forever to be removed. And NO mail either. Stocking up on CAN GOODS now.

GOOD LUCK everyone with winning something. 🤞

EVERYONE, have a "great" weekend!!!

Nicole 🙃
