Thank you for not only bringing this to the attention of AARP staff...but making a list!

I hope that if anyone else sees another quiz like this.... that they will add it here as a reply & see if we can’t get all of them fixed!

OTOH....(On the other hand)...it’s frustrating & sad to see that we members have to be the ones to try & get the site problems fixed .....as we have been doing for over a year...

such as the dreaded “sorry...no points”😿..... “Sorry...An Unexpected Error has occurred” 😧... “We are currently experiencing technical difficulties” 😩 & a myriad of other site messes etc 😒

Anyways,..keep up the “good fight” 💪 Kelley!😃

Take care ☮️~Allen 🌈PEACE!

Still 2 quizzes linking to articles:

Not able to lose weight

Test your cholesterol smarts

The others have been pulled.

Today there are 2 "quizzes" that indicate TEST and also link to articles.

@AARPJanelleM

There is also a problem with a video link, if you would please pass this on.

It is one of the videos among our daily videos for points.

Listed on the first page, filtered for "videos", and "earn frequency"

The link doesn't take me to the video anymore; started a couple of days ago.

Thanks so much!

Picture of the link shown on the "Earn" page:

Page it goes to after clicking, in part, shows this (not our video):

Will we ever see an end to the daily technical difficulties, missteps and malfunctions etc in this rewards program ?? I think not
The following assortment of slow-witted boo-boo's is in the

QUIZZES and TOOLS AND CALCULATORS SECTIONS
QUIZZES
1. "How to avoid common Medicare mistakes - Test" for 75pts is not a quiz and has no points badge
2. "Test Activity" - for 450pts Stay away from this one, it sends you back to of all places the login screen. What's up with that !!!

TOOLS AND CALCULATORS
1 Care to Talk ??
2 Job Search ??
3 AARP Job Board ??
4 Resume Advisor ??
All show an earn monthly tag for 75 pts
Why is this garbage in the tools and calculators, none of these meet that criteria and there is no points badge on any of them. ???????????????

Where is the direction and supervision with these people
No sooner does one error get fixed then 2 or 3 more pop up. There seems to be a combined effort to keep this program in a state or condition of extreme confusion, agitation, or commotion.
Simply put we have a program that is badly broken and a complete FAILURE

The 3 Stages of Failure
Stage 1 is a Failure of Tactics. These are HOW mistakes. They occur when you fail to build robust systems, forget to measure carefully, and get lazy with the details. A Failure of Tactics is a failure to execute on a good plan and a clear vision.

Stage 2 is a Failure of Strategy. These are WHAT mistakes. They occur when you follow a strategy that fails to deliver the results you want. You can know why you do the things you do and you can know how to do the work, but still choose the wrong what to make it happen.

Stage 3 is a Failure of Vision. These are WHY mistakes. They occur when you don’t set a clear direction for yourself, follow a vision that doesn’t fulfill you, or otherwise fail to understand why you do the things you do.

Personally, I am now to the point that I simply don't care if support ever fixes this program or not. I will just keep my head down and just concentrate on Instant Wins,
Sweepstakes and earn what few points I can, as long as this program exist in whatever form.
If AARP.org wants this administrator to continue to burn it down, then so be it.
Just Saying

Whatever !!!!!!!!!

@andrewtoo I'm not locating that one- I think it may have been pulled. Let me know if you're still seeing it, thank you!

@AARPJanelleM

It is still there and not working properly. First page when sorted by "videos" and "Earn Frequency," as shown. When I sort in this manner the links are always in the same order. It is the shortest video on the first page and listed around the middle of the page.

Thanks!
