Ok! Is it just me?? 🤷‍♀️ Instant Wins changes?

gm5271 — Mon, 25 May 2026 17:56:15 GMT

Hello 🙋‍♀️ all

Hope you all are enjoying the holiday 😊

Yep I'm posting been long time BUT I'm crazy curious about the Latest New Instant Wins? Is it just me or is everyone seeing no puzzle? Just a pic of gift card playing for & you click to redeem 50 points in as fast as tap button Famous phrase "your not a winner" Also if reopen no longer shows 'Already played' just no redeem button?

This is wild to me...wasn't crazy about 2 types of play but at least saw something I've not won an Instant Win in long while used to get about 2-3 each year but this really feels like its just taking my points with no evidence of any play : {

Please let me know what's happening with you Thanks!

I'll assume I'll get email if get replies here but been long time since gotten any I'm no longer sure

Have a blessed day!

Ginger ; )

Hi Ginger @gm5271 !!!

WE HAVE ALL missed you dear friend. 😞

I guess you have NOT seen ALL the complaints here = Rewards Site has had issues since LAST maintenance. 😤

Take care,

Nicole 🤗💛

Yes, Nicole

I've read about & dealt with no points for activities which is not cool & ck out community occasionally & just do Kudos... I've watched/ck'd for last 3 days see if anyone posted about Instant Wins changes I've not seen any... so if its already been posted about I'd appreciate knowing where cause I haven't seen any??? That's why decided ask see if just me? 🤷‍♀️🙃🤯

You didn't say/comment if that was happening to you??

But for many yrs I no longer do many activities just enough to play few Instant Wins each day & a few entries per month for few Sweeps that I desire... I've never won a Sweeps since Merkle took over so therefore only do few these days

I agree with a post by Serena on another thread that I Kudoed 'Lots of other enjoyable & needed things do vs wasting time, getting upset with a Rewards program that's been broken for very long time... Life is more peaceful that way

Oh I do so very miss all the camaraderie & fellowship shared for many yrs til AARP's rules & changes pretty much ended that...decided while back that most, if ever get any comments from helpers it was AI no longer personal way used to be & no way Rewards will ever be way used to be...gave up hope for that long ago

You take care enjoy your day!

Yes Ginger @gm5271 it is happening to me. Yes it was posted, but as you already know, you post & things get deleted or disappear into a black hole.

Hopefully Merkle will get it fixed SOON. 🤞

Honestly Nicole it is not something to fix believe they changed way the Instant Wins play there is no longer a rolling for 3 match or 9 square to match 3 in middle to win This is only on last 2 Instant Wins(Amazon & Jersey Mike's) available to play after Longhorn (didn't show that you must search for) it has 9 square the new 2 don't have anything just pic of gift card nothing to watch just tap to redeem 50 points then it'll say no win But it takes points for redemption shows up in transaction list so it is weird

So did you only see gift card picture or did you have a rolling game? Thanks!

Ginger : )

Hey Ginger @gm5271 , to be honest, I just click and go these days. Spent way TOO MANY YEARS letting Merkle and AARP "p.ss" me off.

So with this said my friend, I had noticed one Instant this week has been DIFFERENT. Cannot remember the exact details, sorry.

Now keep in mind I DONOT play ALL of them.

Just the ones I can use.

Sorry I was NOT much help with all this. Lol, I did try!!! 😅
