AARP should do better on Benefits & Discounts.  They are not worth that much.

    Nah, For me I disagree. I’m getting ready to renew my annual membership for $20.  I’ve racked up hundreds of dollars of gift cards within the year already. For FREE.  Playing games, answering quizzes, and playing Informational videos.  Again… free points, gets me free gift cards.  To Amazon, Walmart, Chilis, Outback, Sonic, Burger King, and many others.  Not only for myself but Stocking stuffers and birthday gifts.
     
    You can B all you want, but stacked, these gift cards take a whole meal or more off a restaurant bill for me.  Walmart trips to the grocery store with these saves money.

     

    So my question to you…. If someone gave you $5 and said it’s yours, you deserve this, I insist… would you take it, or say no thanks? 

    Think it’s not worth much?  I’ll gladly take them.

    They're not really free, though, if you had to spend time playing games, answering quizzes, and playing informational videos in order to get them. Oh, and don't forget all the data that's being collected on you as you do these things.  You can bet big money that they're getting more out of you than what they're paying you.

     

    So it's not the same as somebody coming up and just handing you $5.
