Learning while earning is an added benefit; rewards and discounts for gift cards saved for the holidays make a great surprise (usually for my spendthrift daughter).

Just returned from visiting my 20 something daughter across the country. There was literally nothing in her freezer but an ice pack. Love taking AARP quizzes and watching videos. Really do learn some good stuff and earn points. You’d be surprised at how fast you can rack up points. Already cashed in points for Omaha Steaks $10 giftcard. Gonna load up her freezer with some burgers!

I also check the daily deal which saves you $5 on a $25 giftcard. If there is a merchant I use regularly, it’s a savings of 20%. Makes sense. Happy Holidays!

I use my AARP Rewards points for Magazine subscriptions. I get the joy of finding something in my mailbox, read the articles, and pass it on to my neighbor, who works at the Cancer Center, so her patients have something to read during their treatments.

I try to snag Amazon and Walmart gift cards when they are available. Haven’t done very well this year. I think I’ve only been able to get two $5 Walmart gift cards. Holidays will be meager. I’m currently staying with my daughter while I recover from a heart attack. Love to watch videos and answer quizzes while earning points I can redeem for gift cards. Maybe I’ll get lucky and win a sweepstakes or instant win!

Good luck on the card snags and hope your health is on the upside.

I get gift certificates during the year and use them as stocking stuffers for family and friends. They let me save money and add to my charity donations. I can't shop in person unless someone drives me (due to my brain tumor) and I hate having to rely on someone for a last minute run for gift cards.
