🤔 2025 Instant Win & Sweepstakes

[shamit]

OK, Nicole, I'll give you an answer.  Yes I have won.  Even more than once.  And the big surprise is I was just notified today that I won a $100 sweepstakes.  It's the first one I have won in about 2 years.  It is my third sweepstakes win in the last 6 years.  So a sweepstakes win about every 2 years.  All have been the $100 wins.

Hopefully you win soon.

Has anyone won any this year 2025? 

Lol, I have NOT and need some hope.

Thanks,

@shamit , I am assuming ALL giftcards can ONLY be used ONLINE? Over the years I have read ON THIS SITE about a few issues with links for them.

Hi, Nicole!

Regarding using the gift cards, checking the Offer Terms usually provides that information:

In store and online:

Online only:

I have used most of mine in store (Walmart, Macy's, Walgreens, CVS, Ulta, Olive Garden, Applebees, Longhorn Steak House, Lowes, Home Depot, Cheesecake Factory).  I know you have to use the app to redeem the Sonic Card.  And of course it is online for Amazon.  You would use it online if there isn't a store in your area for a store you get a card on.  

I have used an Albertson's card, in store, while on a trip.  We don't have any of those in our state.  I feel most of them can be used in store, Sonic is an exception. 

I always take a screenshot of the card.  The links have been known to expire.  That way I have all the information to use it later even if the link has expired, the money is still on the card.

@shamit , I just did the SHEETZ Sweepstakes now that I know YOU WON = they are for real!!!    I have been lazy with sitting down and EARNING POINTS = did just 1 entry. How many entries do you do? I wonder IF the max of 10 entries EACH DAY until it ends will INCREASE my chances of winning. Anyone else doing the SHEETZ Sweepstakes? I get gas there only & would be totally awesome winning 1 of 20. GOOD LUCK ALL!!!    Picture Attached. Nicole

When I do a sweepstakes I do 10 entries every single day of the month.  I have read a lot of people do the same.  So to increase your odds you will have to do the same thing.  Over the last year I have spent over 2.7 million points on Sweepstakes and Instant Wins.  So not a great return for the time spent.

And don't worry that it says you have 1 entry so far today, but 0 entries in total.  The next time you go in it will show you have 1 entry before you do anymore entries.  It doesn't update immediately, but you will see the correct amount later.  I usually do 9 entries for each Sweepstakes I enter then when I go back to the 10th entry, it shows the 9 entries I did just a little before but won't show that 10th entry until tomorrow.  I just like to see those 9 entries.  Just another AARP glitch.

Thanks @shamit   .  I am heading NOW to do 8 more, then 1 later IF I don't forget = Old Person Moment.    Then back to EARNING. I had stopped when I could NOT redeem. Geez, they really need to add some INTERESTING ways to do this. Over the boring quizzes & videos. Oh well, it is what it is. See you later dear friend, Nicole
