Hi Teri,

I’d say for me it was when I get the Amazon Gift Cards for points. They don’t show up often, I’d say once a month I’m guessing. I’ve been lucky enough to hit them at the right time. Wish there were multiples of them. Fun when you have the points and it’s still available!

AARP is pretty stingy with their offers now. thousands of points for hardly the value of usually $5

I think maybe the $5 Burger King gift card using points. I can load it on the app right away. It's ready for me.

My favorite was the exceedingly rare $10 Amazon gift card for points, which I only saw twice and was lucky to redeem for once.

Starbucks $5 GC, as well as LL Bean and Lands End.

For money, I liked the 10% off Amtrak GC.

I agree that Rewards has gotten stingy. So many of the options for digital downloads of greeting cards. I can get the same on the internet.

Well I can tell you the worst was $500 for a Royal Caribbean giftcard that can't be used on the ship. Just a useless piece of paper sitting on my desk.

Didn’t win a thing. Scam?

I try to purchase the Home Depot or Lowe's gift cards from noon to 2pm when they are offered at a discount and they are immediately sold out at noon. All the bots must buy them up. Maybe from noon to 2pm let members enter their name into a drawing if they are interested. Then Email them that they won the drawing and can purchase the discounted gift card if still interested. Any suggestions on how to beat the bots and keep these great offerings within the membership?

Through all of the many years and hundreds of contests entered with AARP, I have never won anything. Discourging!

Reward this year?! How about reward ever?! I have used my points for hundreds of 'prizes' and what

do I have? Nothing. I don't know why I keep playing.

Wish I had one but after years of trying I've yet to win anything. Are these total hype or do they really exist????

trying to find three things each month starting usually on the first is not easy especially when every month remember every month not just now and then but every month on the first no matter how hard you try and no matter what aarp says , those extra credit things mess up and you cannot redeem for them until maybe the next day when of course they are all gone. aarp are you listening? there are serious flaws ont he first of every month with your system. Lost out on the walgreens for this and do not put much faith in ever getting the better rewards that sell out faster than ever. I guess those 18 year old members have figured out a way to get them first. aarp used to stand for association of american retired people or something like that now it is every person for themselves since it certainly is not for all.
