AARP Rewards Online Community Budget Contest 2025

I have saved money with the website. I used digital coupons on days that the grocery stores had discounts.  It is so beneficial for me. Even have my nana babies help me with reminding me to look here before I do a thing. 

I look for store discounts and ask the store for senior discounts.

We're planning a vacation this summer and were able to book a car rental with a good discount and all this within our first week of joining!

Discounted travel gift cards.

 I use the Rewards gift cards to buy things I need.  For example, this year I needed a new winter coat.  With the Columbia AARP Reward gift cards, I was able to buy the coat I wanted at less than half price by ordering the coat on sale from Columbia and using the Rewards Columbia gift certificates for even more savings.  AARP Rewards are great - I hope they continue this program for a long time.  

 My wife uses many of the gift certificates, but my favorites are Home Depot and Lowes - thanks for including my favorites as well as hers.

My wife uses many of the AARP Rewards gift certificates, but my favorites are Home Depot and Lowes.  Thank you for also offering my favorites.

We use AARP rewards and the local discounts for everyday expenses, food, dinner, clothing, entertainment, travel and gifts.  We saved Zappos and DSW gift cards and bought two pairs of new sandals last summer.  We saved up Kohl's gift cards and bought some essentials during a sale event.  We saved up our Outback Restaurant gift cards and took friends out to dinner a few months ago.  My husband and I also volunteer for several non-profits supporting seniors and veterans and have used our rewards gift cards to purchase pizza their events.  We are currently saving Bass Pro Shop gift cards for some outdoor clothing and supplies. The AARP Rewards program has been a blessing.  Thank you.

I’ve been couponing over 50 years; rebates are super easy & makes a difference in my budget each & every month! Makes me happy to see savings with minimal effort.

Love seeing newbies do the same!

Using points for travel. Discounted gift cards for all sorts of stuff I am going to spend money on anyway.  Stocking up on groceries when on sale. Unplugging electronic devices when not in use.
