Rewards down, again?

 Any idea on when the "newest" maintenance will be done for the rewards? I've encountered this issue 6 different times over the last two weeks. Trying to buy gift cards and nothing.

It’s going to cost me a lot of $$$$ trying to buy gift cards for a cruise

📎  [9/9/25] Good Morning @RDP1951 , AARP sent out an email last Friday with links to earn. Our very "helpful" Andrew @andrewtoo has posted "additional" links. Hopefully we will be able to "redeem" SOON. Nicole!

I think it is still down as of Monday 8 Sept. I wonder if it has been subject to a hack? I do not have any specific reason to think so other than the fact that it has been down for about 1 week now

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues accessing the AARP Rewards site and haven't been able to redeem your points, @MelanieS222903. I tried sending you a private message, but it didn't go through. Please check this article to enable them: https://aarp.info/47hWcl7 and send us a private message when you get a chance. Thank you. - Diana G.

is the reward site still down  since Monday? Why does it take so long o fix problems, which actually wind up not being fixed?

I realize this is all free and I appreciate what I get so really feel bad about complaining--But--this website really does suck. I've said it before--get rid of the boomers (I can say that because I am one) and hire some Zoomers to fix it

No, the Rewards site is NOT working again! I am unable to redeem my points since 1AM. My husband was NOT able to redeem his points for 3 long weeks (Oct 29 - Nov 22, 2024).

The AARP website is pathetic! It's down for "maintenance" very often!

It seems like it will be working well (actually for quite a while) and then "maintenance" makes everything go to hell for a couple months
