Hello, I’m quite new to using the AARP site. While exploring the site, a message popped up asking if I want to redeem my points, and it listed 2 options: 1. redeem 75 points for $25 Walmart gift card, or 2. redeem 75 points for $25 Amazon gift card. I had closed that message as I was exploring the site further, but now I cannot find that option in the redeem rewards section. I do not want to enter any sweepstakes or gamble for a chance to win a gift card, I just would like to know how I can redeem a gift card using my points and would there be a limit to how many cards I can redeem. Thanks.

I tryed to do the September extra credit rewards to get the Walmart reward. I looked at all 3 videos but did not recieve and points or any thing on the page about rewards.

The AARP REWARDS site is broken !! There is a notice posted after login that the site will be down for maintenance on August 20; 202 from 9:00am until 12:00pm & you can not go anywhere after that. The community forum is up but all references to an error message returns PAGE NOT FOUND that are posted everyone.Things have returned to pure CHAOS 

Why do all the classes take place during working hours? And if they have to take place then, how can one access them after the fact? Are they recorded? Can they be streamed? If AARP is for people 50 and over, what makes you think the large majority of them are retired? Even though I am 73, I still work full-time. I am sure I am not alone in this.

When will the Sept/Oct Bulletin, and the Oct. Magazine be mailed? I have not received either as yet. 

In my account detail, my husband’s email is incorrect.  All of the other areas have edit buttons, but not this optional one, about another person be added as a member.  How do I correct this?

I recently retired and signed  up for a Medicare Advantage plan in 2026.  I take Xarelto 20 mg and through government negotiated pricing it was affordable.  However, it appears Xarelto has been removed from 2027 Medicare negotiated pricing for 2027.  From what I gathered this was done because Xarelto 2.5 mg went generic and the government negotiated pricing terms/conditions removed drugs from the negotiated pricing if they went generic, regardless of the dosage.  Thus, if on any dosage other than 2.5 mg you will pay substantially more for your Xarelto in 2027. I’ve heard many people get generic Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) from Canada, but it appears US government will be tightening down on this is this making it difficult to do this going forward.Thus, I’m curious what other options might be available to get Xarelto at a reasonable price if on Medicare? Thanks!

My doctor prescribed Premarin Vaginal Cream 0.625 to address my hot flashes. I’ve been on it a couple of years and it has worked well for me. However, it has been on backorder for TWO MONTHS. I’ve called many local pharmacies, and they all say the same thing, it is on backorder and they cannot get it. So, my doctor prescribed another prescription in pill form. This one is unavailable too! This is happening across the country. What’s up? Why is Wyeth Pharmaceuticals LLC and Pfizer, Inc. putting so many women in this situation; it is unconscionable. Any suggestions on how I / we can get our prescribed medication?

Every day I get an email from AARP with the subject “Don’t forget! Finish setting up your AARP membership”. I have been a member for years, and am paid up until 2031. Why am I getting this email every day and how do I stop it? Thank you!

​@AARPConsumerCare There are a number of games I stopped playing because they aren’t working correctly and don’t award points. I’m aware of per day limits; clearing cache; and win/lose factors for the games I play. The script you use does not apply here. Some will award points after GAME OVER if you hit PLAY AGAIN. Some will award points if you play the game 3 or 4 times on the same day.  I’ve contacted AARP previously with no effect. Today, I contacted Arkadium who stated that AARP has complete control as to when points are awarded.I didn’t bother with a screenprint, but Sudoku penalizes you if you finish too quickly. NO points awarded if you get the answer in 3 minutes. What’s the point of a timer? I have screenshots of the following games to assist you in correcting the problem. CodeWord does not award points 20260907Outspell_20260907ScrambleWords does not award points 20260907WordWipe does not award points 20260907Arkadium says its AARP 2026 09 07

I am very dissatisfied and disappointed that when I had over 5,000 points available, not one gift card redemption was available.   Now I check my account, with a zero balance, there are target, Walmart, etc.  I think it is a scam to get you to sign up spend hours doing all the activities with no way to redeem your points.  I think it’s unacceptable, and again it is all a scam.  As I recall, not even the product discounts or coupons worked either.  It is a shame because it was never like this before.  AARP needs to make me whole on my points that were completely worthless when they were available because having them now would be well worth my five year subscription.  

I would like to change the name on my second membership person. How how do I go about that?

Can you explain what is happening to Xarelto coverage in 2027 Medicare? It seems that in my zip code =12589, Ulster County, only CVS is providing coverage for 20 mg.

[Wednesday 9/30/26]Last year 2025, the Health App on my Android Cell Phone (Samsung through T-mobile) worked for awhile. I was one happy camper. 🙃Then AARP posted they were NO longer dealing with the app I was using on my cell.Meanwhile I have read over the years on this site the challenge of FINDING AN APP THAT DOES WORK WITH AARP SETUP.Anyone have any "luck" with finding one? 🤔I walk 1/2 hour EVERY DAY & it sure would be "nice" to EARN AARP Reward Points when I have "enough" miles in. When I was EARNING Points, I would walk LONGER each day. Lol, YES, it was an "incentive" to get my old body moving. 😅Thanks,Nicole (Healthy Living Forum)

Every time I try to use REWARDS to get gift cards, I’m an either kicked off the site or transferred to a different are of the site to PURCHASE cards with my personal funds.   I’m feeling like this is all a scam.  If the only thing you can do with rewards is “spin” only to be told you didn’t win anything, what is the point of rewards if only to get you to a page to buy gift cards instead?  I’m concerned that once I hit “create” this question will either disappear or show only AARP generated answers. Thank you.

I’ve been researching the challenges people face as they approach retirement, and I keep coming back to one question.There are already resources for Social Security, Medicare, finances, healthcare, estate planning and more—yet many people still seem overwhelmed.Do you think the problem is not enough information, or that there’s already so much information that it’s difficult to know what applies to you and what to do next?I’d really like to hear from people who are retired or approaching retirement.

I apologized to my wife for a tone I had been calling “just tired." I didn’t add an explanation. I didn’t ask her to meet me in the middle.The next morning was ordinary. That was the change.When has apologizing changed a relationship for the better?

I want an E gift card and accidentally deleted. It is there a way to retrieve it?

all games will load to play except right again trivia??

I am a newbie. In many aspects: new to AARP, new to Orlando FL vicinity, newly divorced, and now new to the ever so different workforce. I am a 59 y/o woman who now needs to rejoin the workforce after being a stay at home wife/mom/grandma for the past 27 years.  I’m lost. Does AARP, or anyone, offer free assistance for building a resume for someone in my current situation?   TIA for any guidance you may provide. 

[Monday 9/21/26 7:49pm ET]It seems EVERY YEAR of late I am getting "notified" about a DATA BREACH (my info compromised).I had stopped requesting my 3 FREE Credit Reports when I retired. Use to do it online EVERY YEAR.Decided I better start up this habit again.Tried to do it ONLINE, an issue.DIDNOT want to use the "mail in" option with all the dishonest postal employees, mail theft, lost mail & going to Post Office to buy a stamp. Been years since I have visited them or mailed anything.So it was the PHONE OPTION. Did good with this & ordered ALL 3.Well ONLY one has arrived. And way before the 15 days they say it would be received. NOT sure IF that was 15 biz days.Lol, the other TWO ARE STILL MIA. Will be a MONTH since ordering ALL THREE on the 25th of this month.Now I did REorder the "missing" two SEPARATELY after the 15 days. And spaced this out so as NOT to order on SAME DAY.➡️[*** Does anyone know what "options" we have IF we NEVER receive a report?I tried calling the Credit

I live in Clark County WA and have had AARP Medicare Advantage from UHC WA-12 for 2 years.  Still haven’t received my ANOC for 2027.  When I try to access online, I’m told to check back after 10/7/26.  When I search for a plan under my zip code for 2027, mine doesn’t exist.  Is this treated as a cancelation where I am now free to go to a Medicare G/N/G High Deductible without underwriting?
