I now see one sweepstakes, for $100 Bath & Body Works Gift Card. Hope this means others will also be showing up soon.

I think it might be a “feeler”! I just saw it out there.

The sweepstakes for $100 Bath and Body Works appeared and already gone! Wonder if there will be winners since some have played and had points deducted??

And now there is a Kohls instant win….maybe these re tests, but it did let me try but I didn’t win.

And now there are 12 sweepstakes, but not the Bath & Body Works one that was shown earlier and then disappeared.

Thanks for mentioning the instant win. I used the free entry for this. Didn't win, but also didn't use up any points 😀

What is a "free entry" and how can I earn one? Thanks

@DonnaPhotoArt

Click on any instant win. Scroll down to the bottom, under "Disclosure", will be a link to "Official Rules". Click on that and you will see a list of all instant wins. Click on the one(s) you want to enter. This will take you to the rules for the instant win. Item 4b has a link to the free entry. Click on this, it will take you to a form to fill out and submit. This way takes a bit longer than just playing the instant win, and as with all things AARP Rewards related, sometimes this is screwed up.

The Lord giveth and HELLO WORLD / MERKLE taketh away, 😫

Now we are down to only two lousy Instant Wins. There is not much left to this rewards program. Want to waste your points, try the sweepstakes. I am shocked that these were not removed, but then again, maybe they will 😖

I'm just doing an update. Kind of new to the AARP forum, but I did call the rewards toll-free number and the sweepstakes for $5,000 pack your bags runs from September 1st through October 31st.

They are aware that it is not on the screen. It was reported yesterday but they're going ahead with my report as well. Any entries to the sweepstakes? That you might have done are still there . Well so looking into why the sweepstakes now expire on 1031 and not September 30th. It looks like there was an extension but there is no mention of it in just wanted to update.

Good morning, according to AARP they say that the reward site and sweepstakes are all up and functioning.

After reviewing this site myself this morning, there was a sweepstakes that's missing that I had entered before the site went down I do not see it listed anywhere. 5,000 pack your bags sweepstakes. I had several entries.

Also, there's no mention at the beginning that they changed the date of the sweepstakes from September 30th now to October 31st and there is no mention of a date when winners would be notified. And so on and so on. I'm going to call AARP at 8:00 a.m.

To give you even more time to enter, we have extended all September sweepstakes to end October 31^st.
