Rewards Site Maintenance 🙄

SummerOnTheWay1 — Fri, 22 May 2026 01:05:11 GMT

[5/21/26] I don't mean to be NEGATIVE, but beginning to wonder WHY there have been SO MANY "scheduled" maintenance for the AARP Rewards Site?

Yes, last year (2025) and the "previous" years before, we had them.

But unless my OLD brain has failed me, those were like every FEW MONTHS or longer.

This year (2026), it seems to me we are seeing NOTICES when we "log" into our AARP Rewards Accounts EVERY WEEK & several times within that week.

Lol, well - thankful they are letting us know AHEAD, but WHAT are they fixing?

Anyway, everyone have a GREAT Thursday in whatever time zone you are in.

I am in Virginia and about 9pm ET for me.

Nicole 💛🤗

Just woke up & cannot go back to sleep.

Was hoping to play today's Instant Wins but see the maintenance is taking place. Of late, they DIDNOT & I was able to play.

Now to hope I can AFTER 5am ET today.

HAPPY Friday All & we have that "special" day this Monday to "honor" our troops. Way too many lives lost.

Whatever maintenance they're supposed to be doing isn't helping with points being rewarded for the successful completion of Codeword game. Second day in a row I didn't receive earned points.

@DonnaPhotoArt The site maintenance has nothing to do with the fact that you did not earn points for playing a game. The games are different than taking a quiz or watching a video to earn points. Just playing a game does not mean you will earn points.

I know this topic has been discussed in other posts, and this is not an "issue' or a situation where the site is not working. Here is a link to an article I was provided by an agent when I had asked about this - I hope the link works for you. https://aarp.info/457rVVv
