AARP Rewards Holiday Savings & Budget Contest 2023

AARPTeri — Wed, 18 Oct 2023 12:05:56 GMT

Share how you use the Rewards Catalog to support your holiday giving and budgeting for a chance to win one of eight (8) $50 gift cards.

Examples from last year's winners posts:

"One of the most meaningful aspects of the holidays to me is the time I get to spend with others. Using the AARP Rewards, I am looking forward to meals out at a favorite restaurant with family and/or friends where I will get to spend some quality one-on-one time with them while enjoying a meal thanks to AARP!"

"This is my first year as an AARP Member. I love learning through the different activities, to save up Reward Points, which helps me to purchase our favorite restaurant gift cards, for fast food, or dining out for special events, or for grocery shopping. I love to give these gifts cards to my adult daughter, to enjoy for an easy dinner out where she doesn't have to cook after working her daily shift. It shows my appreciation, and it is a big savings on items we would most likely purchase anyway."

Runs from 10/18 - 12/12/23. Click here for rules

I enjoy spending our rewards on small appliances or other small items.

Restaurants are my favorite rewards and I try to win them all year long. Of course it would be helpful to win a Best Western gift card!

I use the rewards points to get $5 and $10 gift cards to use for places I know my family and friends use. I save them up, print them out on holiday copy paper and put them in their Christmas stocking or send with a Christmas card. Just a little something to give for the holiday and they are always thrilled to get them.

I would be so happy to win. Christmas 🎄 is my favorite time to bake and send gifts to those I love. It’s also my daughter’s birthday. I love playing the games and learning at the same time.

If I won the holiday gift cards I would love to take my grandsons and daughter out for a meal together

I would use the gift card or give as a gift and then donate that amount of money at Thanksgiving or Christmas. The I do a "Christmas" egg hunt with the grandkids. The eggs are filled with small change and the kids give that to the price of the animal they pick. The grown ups kick in the rest.

Forgot to say the animal is from Heifer project and it goes to a subsistance farmer so they can have eggs or milk to provide for their family.

I usually use my AARP Rewards as gift cards for my husband’s birthday or Father’s Day. He likes to treat a fellow Men’s Bible Study friend to lunch every other meeting. But maybe this time we’d go out to lunch.

I do all my Holiday shopping using points earned through survey taking, AARP, etc. A extra $50 gift card would be greatly appreciated and help considerably in providing gifts for 14 grandchildren, 4 children and 3 in-laws

Each month I look for interesting gift card offers and redeem my points for them, so that at any given time I can enjoy something at a venue I might not otherwise have chosen. Some are locations I use already and some are new to me. I might gather with others throughout the year and enjoy a meal so it does not have to be during the holidays or I might use the gift cards as gifts. I also look at the physical gifts and consider redeeming my points for those. I now have a nice collection of assorted bags and containers that I can use to put several gifts in so instead of giving them their gift(s) in an ordinary bag or box, the container is also a gift. There is usually a nice assortment of gift cards and gifts over the year that I can find something for the people on my list. And January is not too early to start for 2024!

I love reading and doing the different activities to get the points and learning as I go. The points I gain are used for the contests and also purchasing gift cards for eating out and grocery shopping. My husband and I are retired and saving with the gift cards is so helpful.

I use the rewards catalog to purchase discounted gift cards and restaurant gift cards. This allows me to spend over my budget. Gives me great pleasure to see friends and family enjoying these gifts!

And I do use them to enter sweepstakes and instant win contests.

AARP rewards is a wonderful program through which I can earn free gifts by redeeming my points. I can regularly participate in the sweeptakes( I rarely win). But it does not matter whether I win or not. It is very much enjoyable to participate in all the activities of AARP rewards. It also enables me to buy Gift cards at discount. It also offers lot of other benefits.Morethan the monetary benefits these give me a chance to keep me very much live throughout the day. It gives me HOPE. It has an entertainment factor. Often I used to think about my life SANS AARP. It is unthinkable. Thank you

I like doing the activities and taking the quizzes to earn points that I can redeem for gift cards to a variety of places and give them as gifts to other family members and friends. Also telling them what AARP has to offer.

AARP Rewards are addictive! Once I start taking a quiz or watching a video, I can't seem to stop. Time passes very quickly! I do appreciate the variety of choices and the information I am able to garner. The rewards are an added perk. I usually do gift cards as stocking stuffers for my kids and husband. It is always nice to get them at a discount. I always enter the sweepstakes offers and keep my fingers crossed that I might win. It literally costs me nothing to try, because the knowledge I gained has already given me a win! I love taking advantage of savings during the holidays, but also great to use them year round for birthdays, an anniversary, holidays and of course a personal treat! Thanks AARP!

I like redeeming for gift cards at discounted rates and also trying to win! Most everyday I’m earning my max points viewing interesting videos or taking quizzes. Since they are relevant to me, time passes quickly. Thanks for providing such good information.
