AARP Rewards Online Community Budget Contest 2025

Originally became an AARP member for savings alone, however, when I logged in and discovered all of the incredible articles, videos, training and volunteer opportunities, my perception completely changed. If any question comes up regarding Social Security, Taxes, Resumes and much more, the first place I look is AARP.com. The magazine has so many wealth, travel and celebrity articles that I enjoy on the commuter train. Earning of reward points that I use every morning to sign up for sweepstakes is so fun! The amount of discount cards available is immense, Christmas and gifting has never been so easy, allowing me to purchase throughout the year so December is not such a burden. I have even paid for an entire Princess Cruise with AARP gift cards. "Do you discount AARP members?" is my new favorite phrase wherever I go to shop, travel, eat and be entertained. Actually today I used the AARP benefit site to order FTD flowers with my AARP discount. The AARP card is in my phone wallet and ready to whip out at a moments notice. Discounts have become a great conversation starter, allowing more to come into the AARP community. From the moment I wake up to morning exercise videos to playing AARP games as I settle in for the night, AARP has become a major part of my life and wellness. Thank you for all the effort AARP teams put in, to their reputation and credibility, allowing us to enjoy life on a budget!

I I use gift cards to help with purchases. Many times trying new companies that I might not usually try. I also combine gift cards to make the price go down even further. Every little bit helps. 

AARP Rewards gift cards to restaurants have helped increase our ability to go out for meals. I have also purchased gift cards at a discount to restaurants, grocery stores (Kroger and Walmart), home improvement stores (Lowes and Home Depot) and other stores. I even won $100 gift card for Walmart and have won a number of instant wins.

I like to earn points each day and then redeem them for sweepstakes and instant wins.  I've won several $10 gift cards and even a few $100 gift cards from the sweepstakes.  These definitely help out in my attempt to save money where ever I can.  I like to variety of options for gift cards - it's not the same every month and there are a lot of stores at which I regularly shop.

I watch videos, take quizzes, and do the challenges almost everyday, so I learn many ways to save. I even checked out the local places to save, and found out I can buy one get one free at the alligator farm! 

  I enjoy going out to eat more when I can pay with an AARP gift card that I won or for which I redeemed points.

 I like getting gift cards from AARP for places like Walgreens, Home Depot, or restaurants so I can treat myself to something I want without feeling guilty.

Switched Cell Phone Service to Consumers Cellular using AARP deal $55 2 lines unlimited talk and text and 50GB of data.  

I’ve redeemed AARP Rewards for Valentine’s Day and birthday e-greeting cards that my relatives love. You get to write your own message and schedule the date the card will arrive. It’s fun, eco-friendly, and saves time and money.

I use the Walmart cards to treat myself (something I rarely do). Gift cards help me to feel less guilty about doing something nice for myself.
