Hi Janelle PM indicates you are on line. I am wondering why you have not contacted me with an answer concerning my missing IW confirmation email If you need more info please respond. It has been almost 55 hours since I sent you the first PM

Thanks BillD

I think I won 1 Instant Win last year, none so far this year. I play about 4 a day. I play about 3 or 4 sweepstakes a month (entering the max number of entries every day) but have never won (I have been a member for about 2 years). This program is more like a lottery than a rewards program, since it is random luck if you can use your points to actually get anything decent. I hardly ever get a gift card with my points, because the ones I really want are always sold out when I see them for the first time. I am one of the members who only logs in once a day, so the good gift cards are always sold out before I can get them.

Hi @Debinpa

Has anyone actually ever won any of the instant win gift cards? Of course....but for me...I used to win maybe 3-4 IWs & 2-3 sweeps a year....but last year only won 1 sweeps & 2 IWs...

This year...no wins of any IW or sweeps!! 😿

I play an avg of 4 IWs & enter 6 or so sweeps a day...so without any wins....yes.... I may be wasting my points trying to win one!.....but since there’s rarely anything to use points for anymore....besides measly $5 GCs 🙄....the good ones are usually gone before I even see them available....so nothing much else to spend points for 😒...until they make drastic changes to this MEH program....that actually REWARD us! 💲💰💲

Yes, several times spanning over two years plus. The last one I got was $10.00 CVS Instant Win gift Card in April 2023....

and yes, I will play everyday and go months seeing "sorry you didn't win this time.. please try again..." and again - so when you do win it's 'startling and surprising.'

I've been here in AARP Rewards for over two years and have seen the official number of Instant Win numbers increase substantially --> this increases the number of members (free and paid members) "who can win a little something" at all times of the day.

AARP receives numerous complaints about (Redeem - Gift Cards - already Sold Out) and those 'reward fanatics who are almost here all-the-time and why AARP members who are still working 9 to 5 or part time are 'un-fairly un-able' to enter/ play the Instant wins/ or 'try to Redeem (Gift Cards - already Sold Out)' ; thus AARP 'may have' increased the Instant Win numbers as a way to give more members an opportunity to win - at all times of the day. You just got back from work or running errands, just log into AARP and try and you can win 24/ 7. No need to be here all-day long.
