I would really like to use my reward points on free gift  cards but I can’t really figure it out

cards, but I can’t figure out how to do it

I’m happy to help point you in the right direction.

To use your AARP Rewards points for gift cards, the easiest way to get step-by-step guidance is through the AARP Help Center. This page walks you through exactly how to redeem your points: https://help.aarp.org/s/article/how-do-i-redeem-my-rewards-points 

We appreciate you being part of AARP Rewards — happy redeeming!

If this helps, please give it a 👍 so others can find it more easily.

I did not know that was an option

[sandy]

It’s definitely an option!  AARP Rewards points can be redeemed for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, and more — which can come in handy for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.

You can browse available rewards anytime in the Rewards catalog to see what’s currently available.

No, I never have. 

[sandy]

Thanks for sharing! Everyone uses their AARP Rewards points a little differently. Maybe it’s something to try for a future holiday!

[CherylB644144]

No , but maybe the  kids, hubby of 38 years passed away

[sandy]

Thank you for sharing that. I’m so very sorry for your loss. 

It sounds like you have a beautiful family around you, and that kind of love is truly special. Whether for your children, yourself, or just a small treat, AARP Rewards is always there if and when you’d like to use it.

We’re grateful you’re part of this community.

I have not - but will definitely look at it this year.

[sandy]

That’s great to hear! It can be a fun way to make your points feel even more meaningful on a special occasion. Hope you find something perfect this year!

Redeemed for Flemings and Carrabbas, since finding out they are part of the same umbrella chain as Outback.  2 at one swoop was nice!

[sandy]

What a great find!  That’s a smart way to maximize your points — two favorites in one swoop is definitely a win!

Sounds like a delicious way to celebrate. Thanks for sharing your experience — we love hearing how members make the most of their AARP Rewards!

If you’re enjoying the conversation, feel free to give the post a 👍 so others can see these great ideas too!

Nope hadn't. But a great idea for this year

[sandy]

Thanks for sharing! It’s fun seeing how members get inspired by each other’s ideas. Hope it turns into a great redemption this year!

I got my husband a Valentine card.

[sandy]

That’s so thoughtful!  Sometimes it’s the simple gestures that mean the most. Hope he loved it!

[helend355551]

I never receive enough points to get anything!

[sandy]

Hi there, @helend355551. If you’d like to learn more about ways to earn additional AARP Rewards points, this Help article outlines all the options available — including activities, quizzes, videos, and special promotions: https://help.aarp.org/s/article/how-do-i-earn-rewards-points 

Many people find that completing daily activities and checking in regularly helps their points add up more quickly.

[SereneSeagull]

if you’re short on time, sort the Earn points by video only.  Choose one, hit play then walk away.  After it plays hit your back button to go to the next one on the list, and so on… 

[SheriM877658]

Yes! I just bought a gift card for flowers from Proflowers! 

[sandy]

That’s lovely! Proflowers is a great choice.  Were they for someone special — or a little treat for yourself? Either way, well done!

[RenateW69623]

No. I was hoping to use my rewards points to get a gift card that I could use for Valentine's Day, but all of the ones I would have liked to use were sold out so fast, that I couldn't get them. It would be nice if the program would have more gift cards, so members could use their rewards points to get them.

[sandy]

I’m sorry to hear that — I know it can be disappointing when popular gift cards sell out quickly. 

They do tend to go fast, especially around holidays. We appreciate you sharing your feedback, and we’ll be sure to note it. 

Thanks for being part of the Rewards program and for sharing your experience.

[VitaB489958]

Unfortunately I have not ,but I'm definitely looking to do so this time !

[sandy]

Great idea! Checking the Rewards catalog early can sometimes help, especially around holidays when popular items go quickly. Hope you find just what you’re looking for this year!

[BrittanyW908807]

I have never used AARP For A Valentine's Day Present! But I Would Totally Try It If The Option Presented Itself 

[sandy]

Now that’s the spirit! Keep an eye out — sometimes the perfect reward shows up right when you’re ready for it.
