Rewards Points not awarded Arkadium says it is AARP and vice-a-versa

​@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 20260907

Outspell_20260907

ScrambleWords does not award points 20260907

WordWipe does not award points 20260907

Arkadium says its AARP 2026 09 07

I've had the same issue with Word Scramble and Sudoku. In the past when this has happened, I have played the game again at a later time and the points will be awarded. But lately, that is not working. I tried reporting it thru the AARP chat, only to be told it was me not playing the game right. I told them I was reporting it so they could notify someone that there was an issue. I doubt that will happen. I guess I'll stop wasting my time playing those particular games.

Try waiting until the timer passes 3 minutes before submitting on Sudoku. I haven’t figured out the glitch in Scramble Words yet. It’s been 4 days since I asked for support from @AARPConsumerCare 🙉

​@KatCan67 I was excited that I finished in 2 minutes 11 seconds before I realized I was playing Sudoku. ​@AARPConnieB ​@AARPConsumerCare

Well written, documented and researched.  Following thread to see how this goes.

It’s gone nowhere, because a month later, I’m still experiencing issues.  & No one from AARP ever responded again. I’ve actually had them tell me that the games are for fun & they are not obligated to provide points!

So are you not getting reward points for quizes and videos as well ​@ToniC615904 ?
