Rewards down, again?

[GemmaM434717]

 Any idea on when the "newest" maintenance will be done for the rewards? I've encountered this issue 6 different times over the last two weeks. Trying to buy gift cards and nothing.

It’s going to cost me a lot of $$$$ trying to buy gift cards for a cruise

[9/11/25] Paul @PaulM502058 , when is your cruise? I hope it all works out for you dear friend. Cruises are such fun. Take care, Nicole!

The worst part is we pay for this and there will be no compensation for this too long of down time

[PaulM502058]

Losted out on my Greece cruise leaving tomorrow, hope it up for my Australia and New Zealand

It ays you can still earn points but I don't see how--I'm kinda slow and all being a boomer 

[luckymom58]

Still down as of 9/12. I can earn rewards but I want to spend them and it won't let me. 

[Winter2025VA]

[9/9/25] Good Morning @RDP1951 , AARP sent out an email last Friday with links to earn. Our very "helpful" Andrew @andrewtoo has posted "additional" links. Hopefully we will be able to "redeem" SOON. Nicole!

That just as good as being told the checks in the mail

[RiverBoatAndrew]

Or... "We're escalating this issue"

[MichelleG948015]

Any idea how long before it is back up?   Trying to buy gift cards

• I never got an email. Customer service has been no help. Do you have a link?

[Winter2025VA]

[9/14/25] @samspade06 , I "deleted" the AARP Email with "links". As mentioned in my "previous" post, a member (Andrew) has posted "links" that have worked for him. Below is a "copy&paste" of one of his posts. Click on his USERNAME @andrewtoo to see MORE of his posts with "links". The same with @AARPTeri .

I played these videos every day pre-maintenance; I think they’re the shortest daily frequency videos:

I didn’t find them all until today and I hope this helps somebody.

They possibly could be played for points daily, assuming no other issues arise.

Good Luck ‌🍀‌

I think it is still down as of Monday 8 Sept. I wonder if it has been subject to a hack? I do not have any specific reason to think so other than the fact that it has been down for about 1 week now

[tb19317886]

This is annoying!!! still down

[MelanieS222903]

My rewards window has never loaded since day one....I can see my points on my main page but when i go to try and redeem....all it does is spin as if it is loading 😞

[AARPConsumerCare]

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues accessing the AARP Rewards site and haven't been able to redeem your points, @MelanieS222903. I tried sending you a private message, but it didn't go through. Please check this article to enable them: https://aarp.info/47hWcl7 and send us a private message when you get a chance. Thank you. - Diana G.

[dh41577687]

is the reward site still down  since Monday? Why does it take so long o fix problems, which actually wind up not being fixed?

[md27112399]

  It’s been a WEEK!  Nothing should take that long to fix, I just keep getting the “undergoing maintenance”. What a joke.

[Winter2025VA]

[9/7/25] @md27112399 , remember AARP clocks out at 8pm ET on Fridays. Clock back in at 8am ET Mondays. I am sure fixing the Rewards Site has NOT been a priority. Oh well, maybe they will surprise us & have it fixed tomorrow (Monday).  🙄  Nicole!

[md27112399]

  That’s very true, but honestly even 5 days is excessive!  Is it the end of the world?  No, not at all, but I do utilize rewards often, so it’s just frustrating.  Like you said, let’s hope for tomorrow 😊

[RDP1951]

I realize this is all free and I appreciate what I get so really feel bad about complaining--But--this website really does suck. I've said it before--get rid of the boomers (I can say that because I am one) and hire some Zoomers to fix it

[AARPConsumerCare]

Hello @GemmaM434717, thanks for reaching out. I am pleased to announce that our AARP Rewards site has resumed normal operations, and you can now buy the gift cards you are interested in. I sincerely apologize for any frustration this may have caused. If you are still having trouble, please don't hesitate to reach out.  - Daniela R.

[blchr]

The Rewards site has said 'undergoign maintenance' since Sept 1. Any updates?

[CrystalS314424]

The most frustrating part is that it says until January 2025... but it's September 2025. So no idea how long it will be down for. 

[JonathanM243209]

I also saw that, concluding that the system will be down for several weeks dud to an obvious lack of support 

[AARPConsumerCare]

I can understand your concern, @CrystalS314424. The message on the AARP Rewards site displayed the wrong date and was corrected. If you still see that date, you may need to refresh the page. Our team is actively working to restore the access as quickly as possible. Thank you for your participation and patience. - Diana G.

[Winter2025VA]

Crystal @CrystalS314424 , they removed the date yesterday or the day before. Now there is NO date. Nicole!
