Share the Joy of Savings! AARP Rewards Community Contest 2025

I save up the gift cards through out the year and combine them to purchase gifts.  I also purchase gift cards which often offer 8% discounts up to 20% discounts.  Every once in a while I win a gift card on an instant win; mostly I purchase them with points or money.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

We provide our family with gift cards through earning points from the various quizzes and from watching the videos on a daily basis. We also enjoy playing some of the games. Thank you for offering these savings and knowledge for navigating my everyday life.

Since my husband and I have become empty nesters after oldest and twin daughters graduated from college and secured jobs out-of-state, we have missed them terribly. So we've been sending them Southwest gift cards that we purchase from AARP Rewards as a not so subtle hint to come home for a visit. The savings really help during the holidays when air travel is more expensive. 

We use the gift cards as prizes for games with visiting family over the holidays.

We have extended-family game night on New Years Eve. We are all a little competitive, but even more so, because I have been gathering AARP gift cards as prizes for the winners!!!

I try to spend wisely all through the year, but it is especially important during the holidays! The AARP Rewards program assists me in several important ways. The videos and quizzes are highly educational and teach me how to be a wiser consumer. I try to focus on the “Members only” series to earn points faster and also to qualify for special discounts. I typically redeem points for gift cards that I use to purchase specialty items for those on my gift list, and often bring lower value cards to redeem for a coffee or quick meal for ME when I need a break during my power shopping outings. I save the higher value cards for mail and package delivery people who are either prohibited or discouraged from accepting cash from their customers. Gift cards are also welcomed by our local non-profits who can either put them to use right away to purchase office supplies, etc. or to combine them in attractive displays as silent auction or raffle items for their year-end appeals. All these ways help me to spend less but enjoy the holidays more!

Rewards are a great way to earn extra gift cards for travel and entertainment. I buy small gifts to use throughout the year - not just the holidays. Every bit helps!

That's easy, acquiring points and rewards is fun, and money saving for me !  I love to play the games, read the stories, watch the videos, and try the quizzes in order to shop for rewards to gift to others. I keep that persons likes and interests in mind and give them a gift card I think they will enjoy at birthdays or Christmas. It's a win win, I have a good time while gifting someone else, to give THEM a good time too !

This Christmas I told the grandkids their presents were sponsored by AARP rewards program.  They didn’t seem impressed, but my wallet was thrilled. I’m turning my AARP points into stocking stuffers by purchasing gift cards and occasionally winning an instant win.  Who knew my Hurdle  and Word Wipe addiction could pay for stocking stuffers!

An important part of the holidays for me is the general excitement, fun, and opportunities for joy and connection.  I love entering the AARP sweepstakes, because I sometimes win, and that helps us have special treats on a tight budget... BUT also, even when I don't win, I love the good feeling that comes from dreaming I will!!
