Increase in points for Instant Win

shamit — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 04:45:00 GMT

I see the new instant win for today June 1 is a Ace Hardware card. And it is 75 points. I guess we can expect this to be the case going forward. Just another increase in points needed for redemptions.

Points inflation in the Rewards program is very much a scourge on all Mem-anity.🙃

Hum-anity, all humans...Mem-anity, all members.

@shamit @andrewtoo @SummerOnTheWay1

Come on guys don’t be so surprised, instead of raising the $$$ value of the points only gift cards, we get a raise in the points cost of the instant wins. After all a raise is a raise, is a raise and that’s admins way of thinking.

@shamit @andrewtoo

hi guys

AND THEN THERE WERE 3. Admin the wise and powerful OZ has decreed there will be an increase in required number of points (75) to play on the 3 INSTANT WINS (poor DSW & Mix It Up gets to stay @ 50 points) for a short time.

Looks like you were right shamit the new points requirement going forward for all instant wins are soon to be (75) MWAH

THATS ENOUGH TO BRING A TEAR TO A GLASS EYE 😫

Plus the value of the instant wins has gone down. When there is $10 wins for 200 people that equals $2000. Now with 10 rewards of $100 = $1000 so essentially the instant rewards program gives out less rewards. With the way inflation is going up and up I wish we could see the program get more generous.

@rednexsrus HTML is hypertext markup language if I can remember correctly. Whenever I see it in my posts here it’s from a cut/paste I’m adding to my post from something. I’ve noticed it can usually be disregarded by hitting the reply button again and it posts successfully.

Hi Serene

thank you, that explains it. Usually when this happens to me I have cut and pasted some text. I just never could figure out what was the invalid HTML. As you said, by just hitting the reply button usually works. If not I just copy all my text, go to my word processor, and paste, then copy that, return to AARP & paste in my post again. Leave it to admin to make things difficult.

IT IS WHAT IT IS

I noticed too that the 50 point instant wins have changed to 75 point instant wins. Hmm...I wonder if since an instant win costs more points does that mean that the odds increased of winning one? Yeah, I know, seriously doubtful. But it would be nice if it were true.

Well I just mentioned about the Instant Win change on thread about Sweeps

I kinda felt was nice idea since many wanted bigger $ amounts

To play for 75 points to win $10 card vs 50 points for $5 is nice increase... coulda been 100 points for $10... well just my thoughts

But as said other thread no longer know how many winners of Instant Wins there are?? Like see them put that back on each offer

Take care

If you click on the "official rules" on the instant win pop-up it will take you to a list of all the latest instant win gift cards. If you click on each one there is a section called PRIZES that shows how many of each card there are. Looks like it is qty 200 for the $10 gift cards and either qty 10 or 15 of the $100 gift cards.
