My husband and I joined AARP for its health insurance last year.  Then I started checking into AARP Rewards and accidentally found Princess Cruise gift cards at 10% discount.  We booked a trip to Alaska and paid only the required deposit at booking.  I was able to purchase the gift cards from AARP and apply them toward our trip balance.  I have saved over $700! The trip is a mini reunion of my husband's friends from college and we have a group of 4 couples from various cities. I have shared my new money saving venue with all of them. Thank you, AARP.

AARP Rewards has saved me money and this is just a few ways I can save on my spring break travels. Travel discounts: gift cards for cruises, flights, trains Airbnb, hotels and 10% savings using your AARP at hotels Restaurant discounts: gift card for numerous restaurants are available and NearYou gives you some additional savings to select restaurants. So many gift cards to win, purchase with points or cash.  We used gift cards for restaurants in Las Vegas and the NearYou coupons.  We used 10% off hotel using AARP card.   Coffee at Krispy Kreme was bought using gift cards I had won!

My family and I are planning a trip to Shenandoah National Park in July and our AARP Rewards will be a great help in reducing our expenses.  We will be using Columbia, Old Navy, Amazon, Target and Walmart gift cards that we got from AARP to purchase camping gear and clothing for the trip.  We are going to meet at my house the night before we leave and we will use P.F. Chang's gift cards that I got from the AARP Rewards Program to go out for a special dinner. We hope to use some of the restaurant gift cards for Dunkin', Starbucks and Krispy Kreme to grab a quick breakfast or coffee while we are on the road.  We will even buy our sunscreen with a gift card from CVS!  We are really looking forward to this trip and thanks to AARP, we will save a lot of money!

My business partner and I are headed to Daytona Beach next week & we used my AARP rewards discount promo to purchase our flight tickets AND to book our hotel that we're staying at the 5 days that we will be there! Thank you for allowing me to join and become a multiple year membership holder. Since joining AARP back in 2021, I have saved tremendous amounts of money by using the AARP Rewards feature to schedule certain events and dining amenities too.

I plan to go on several short road trips this summer.  I usually decide exact destination at the last minute.  Always use discounts and gift cards that I have obtained. AARP Rewards is definitely the way to save on travels.

[robin24]

We'll be heading out on a road trip this summer. We will be using the Rewards page here along the way for restaurants, Airbnb, and whatever else we can find! I also like playing the instant win games to get restaurant gift cards, so much fun here!

My husband retired on April 3, at the age of 70, and had a wonderful professional career which involved traveling across the US.  He has been to 49 states and hopes to visit West Virginia, to complete his bucket list!  We look forward to applying a lot of the travel tips we’ve learned from AARP and to purchase travel and restaurant gift cards at a discount to take advantage of those AARP savings in our retirement!  What a wonderful trip to celebrate milestone.

My husband and I would love to take grand children to magic Kingdom FL. Get Airbnb and get AARP rewards cards to help with our trip.  We are not getting any younger. But wiser to do the things we love.

[HAMPTONETTE]

I received an email saying I won a $1,000 Carnival cruise gift card! 😁 so waiting on the 8 - 10 weeks validation and will be planning my very first cruise thanks to AARP! 🥳🥳🥳

[DeborahH12686]

Wow new here, Husband and I would love to go on trip. To go Washington DC to the African American culture museum. Love to have Airbnb and use the rewards gift cards on our trip. 

[GaryW155701]

My wife and I are going to Columbus, Ohio for a long weekend to see the King Tut exhibit...a life long dream for me!  We are planning to arrange our lodging through Airbnb, using gift cards from AARP rewards, so we can relax in "kingly" leisure between visits to the museum.  We used AARP rewards points and saved a bundle last time we visited Branson, MO.     Gary W.

My life partner and I are traveling to Holland, Michigan for the Tulip Time Festival held each year in May. We are excited to view the beauty of all the tulips in bloom at this time as well as live entertainment, various cultural events and of course, dancing in the streets in wooden shoes. YAY.

My mother, Johnnie, recently had a stroke in March and as she's been recovering she keeps asking to go and see her 90yo aunt in Shreveport, Louisiana. With the approval of her neurosurgeon, my sister and I are making arrangements to take her to Louisiana this May. It will be an interesting (and blessed) ROAD TRIP! I'm excited about having an all girl's trip! We plan to purchase Airbnb gift cards through AARP Rewards to help us save on lodging.

We want to go visit our sons and families in another state.  We choose to stay in a hotel and rent a car. Later we would like to go somewhere or take a cruise to celebrate our 45th anniversary.
