Okay, we got a VERY LONG WEEKEND of this crap, so let's be "proactive" and SHARE what has worked for EACH of us. 🙃

I need my MAX points (daily) & APPRECIATE any "feedback" on what is WORKING for you guys!!!

Nicole 🤗💛

Hi Nicole

well it’s a not working answer.
System lets me receive points for only one quiz only, ???
all the other quizzes on the first page indicates 450 points, but when you click on one and it comes up it does not have the points badge. NO POINTS

all the rest of the quizzes are missing the points badge. This started after maintenance

will this ever end !!! 😫

Hi Lucy @rednexsrus , AARP really needs to "cut" Merkle (company handling the AARP Rewards Program) loose!!! 😤

But I am sure there is a CONTRACT involved. 👍

Now to HOPE, the "next" company will do better. 🤞

NO pressure to share, but what QUIZ did it "allow" you to do?

Take care my friend,

Nicole 💛🤗

I only received points for Suduko game and 15 for daily visit. Nothing else. Like you, I work for Max points daily. I'm counting down the months until my membership expires. Im done with this incompetence.

Hi Donna @DonnaPhotoArt , TODAY (Sunday) sounds like each member is ONLY "allowed" to get points for ONE ACTIVITY!!!

Thanks for feedback my friend,

Nicole 🤗💛

Another round of frustration from the utterly incompetent AARP tech people (and really I blame management). Completely random for the past couple of days -- sometimes I get points, sometimes I don't. So I end up doing two or three times the number of activities I should have to do, just to try to hit the max. Ridiculous!

Hey @r767831w , keep in mind the AARP Rewards Program is "handled" by Merkle - the company AARP "is paying" to handle it for them. 😉 What AARP needs to do is REPLACE this company like yesterday.

Thanks, but I'm not sure you're entirely correct about that. My understanding is that Merkle handles fulfillment (like sending us gift cards), but that the tech glitches in doing activities and being credited for them are internal to AARP. I could be wrong though, maybe others know more.

You are probably "correct" @r767831w !!! Lol, NOT a "tech" savvy old lady. Either way I am SICK of all this. 😤

Hi Nicole,

If you sort the quizzes by earn frequency and go to page 7 these quizzes worked for me today.....

eye anatomy, caregiving by the numbers, electric car knowledge, fit after 50, muscles, protein, menopause, long term care, apps and privacy, vegetarian diet, gain weight faster as you age, gift card scams. Also the Denise Austin cardio core video worked. That's all I have so far.
