It has been a month since the problem was escalated and still no resolution. Is this incompetence or disinterest?

    Hi @XRAY7 

    We're sorry to hear you're experiencing an "Unable to Redeem" error. We understand how frustrating that can be when you're trying to claim a reward.

    If you have already completed the escalation process, please send me a private message with the email address associated with your Rewards account, and I'll be happy to check on the status of your escalation.

    If you have not yet opened a case or gone through the escalation process, please contact AARP Support through AARP - Help and Customer Service Center to get the process started. Once an escalation has been submitted, feel free to send me a private message with your Rewards account email, and I'll do my best to assist with a status check. 

    Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to helping you resolve this issue. -AARP Darryl

    I have been going on three months with getting this error. I put in a ticket and they responded and they have been working on it for weeks.

    Welcome to the club. I called on behalf of my daughter today regarding the same issue. She hasn't been able to redeem for over a month. She is my secondary member.

    Have they solved your issue yet? My daughter's account still has the same issue going on even after we called and reported it 8 days ago.

    I think they’ve left or were able to get a new account set up.  This account looks inactive now.

    I’m getting the same message on 9/8/2026. I have a lot of points saved up. But I see “Unable to process your redemption request” for some small-point-value offer.

    Same problem here. What’s the point of having points if you cannot redeem them?  Why isn’t AARP fixing this?
