@AARPConsumerCare 

Currently unable to earn points and also Rewards badge not showing on anything at 12:30PM ET.

Can you guys look into this?

Thanks so much,

[Winter2025VA]

  [Tuesday 9/16/25 8:05pm] Everyone, thanks for supporting this thread but I am shutting it down. I had just posted more links & apparently the AARP Software thinks it is SPAM. Yes, and the post does NOT publish.

Anyway, it is what it is dear friends. We are all way too busy to type up posts & then NOT have them publish.

Sweet Dreams. 

Nicole.

Thanks for the help you have provided us.

I just did these 4 activities & received points. Anyone have "links" to share from their Earning Activities TODAY?

[1] QUIZ. What Do You Really Know About Your Muscles?

https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/muscle-quiz/#quest1

[2] VIDEO. Daily Habits That Could Raise Your Diabetes Risk!

https://www.aarp.org/videos/health/6327298451112/

[3] Quiz: Diabetes Care in Older Adults!

https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/diabetes-care-quiz/

[4] QUIZ. How Much Do You Know About Salt Substitutes?

[Linda2000]

Thanks Nicole for posting these links!  Very helpful and much appreciated!

[jm10881142]

I opened the search button and did the 1st drop down to choose Rewards then next spot I entered weekly points to earn and then had so many options show up both videos and quiz to do. I like when I get that drop down that my points for the day are maxed out! It worked to do this yesterday and again today. Just have to bypass the ones that have the check mark showing it's been done already

[andrewtoo]

Allen Linda Nicole Michelle and many others,

I really appreciate the recognition that the information I’ve posted during this  un scheduled maintenance has been helpful.  

Although I’ve tried to post everything in this topic, anyone interested in links to earnings opportunities, could also click on my profile and see my prior posts ( @andrewtoo  ).  There are several posts with links that may be helpful.  If anything is useful then I consider myself fortunate. 

Good Luck  

[Linda2000]

Thanks Andrew for all of the links, tips and information that you have provided. It has been very helpful!

[andrewtoo]

(If not interested in earning points right now, then, maybe, don’t waste time reading this?)

The link below lists 10 minute workout videos shown one after another and the reset frequency is daily so they are available at midnight Eastern time every day.  I don’t have to wonder if the video is available to earn points for me each day beginning 12 AM. I have Denise hopping up and down on my kitchen counter and just play videos as I wish.  If you don’t have time for this, I understand; I certainly wouldn’t debate the topic on here. I certainlywould not try to get all of my points from long videos. The link To the 10 minute workout video search follows:

Hey Andrew! @andrewtoo

Thanks so much for your post!

I agree with you & by now... feel we might as well earn whatever points we can while waiting for this funkedup site to return to its normal....MEH status...& anxiously await the $5 GCs to add to our overflowing folders of other measly $5 GCs! ...of course ones from places we do shop at & have local stores, or for online accounts from for example, Home Depot, Lowes & a few others, such as Walmart, is always appreciated as you can instantly add it to your account!

Anyway...as always...

Stay safe....&...Take care my friend!

  ~Allen

 Good idea.

Thank you for posting these links.

[andrewtoo]

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

https://www.aarp.org/videos/health/fitness/4136656625001/ 

https://www.aarp.org/videos/health/fitness/6020364238001/

https://www.aarp.org/videos/health/fitness/5763992837001/ 

https://www.aarp.org/videos/health/fitness/5763903369001/ 

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

[Linda2000]

Thanks Andrew. I didn't know that there were daily videos.

[RenateW69623]

@andrewtoo I was wondering where the daily videos were. Thanks for posting them.

[RenateW69623]

Now I just need to find the weekly videos.

[Winter2025VA]

[9/13/25] Renate @RenateW69623 , please keep me in mind for any DAILY VIDEOS you may come across that are about 1 MINUTE. Lol, not sure IF they exist. Take care my friend, Nicole.

@andrewtoo 

Hello my friend, top of the morning to you

Do you have any links to Quizzes, they be worth 450 pts vs 300 for video’s and do not take as long to complete.

thanks

lucyp

[andrewtoo]

Hello Lucy @rednexsrus ,

You asked about links to quizzes. @otanod posted these links a few times.

The search for “quiz” has been especially helpful since the first days of maintenance (I have never earned points from games). Below is a quote from another topic with useful links.

Try these links. You have to keep track yourself of which ones you've already done, but at least it's something:

@HokiePoq@rednexsrus@andrewtoo@Linda2000@TammyR404885 @RenateW69623 .

[*** HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING THIS if you have been?

With NO access to the whole Rewards Site wondering IF I am missing out on a BACK DOOR. Lol, so DONOT want to have to "write down" activities as I do them.    Is there an EASY WAY?

Thanks,

Nicole!

Hi Nicole,

I am not keeping track. I am only doing a few activities since I'm not sure that the Rewards points will be worth anything.  I don't want to be wasting my time.

[HokiePoq]

@Winter2025VA   I'm not keeping track.  For the first few days, I was able to use a cached copy of the discover page and I'd see the activity listed as points added on that page.   Now I'm just doing those I want to do like the games.  I tried three of those Teri listed.  One gave points and the other two  said "Sorry you just missed"  BOO and no more of that.  You can access the for points games from the games link at the top of all AARP pages.

[Winter2025VA]

[9/13/25] Stop by when you can to SHARE links that are working for you while we wait for AARP to fix their Rewards Site!!! 

Take care,

Nicole!

[rednexsrus]

@Winter2025VA 

Hi Nicole:

it appears that it is going to be a very L   O.  N  G wait. .   

[TammyR404885]

Dear AARP Rewards techs.  If the issue is this bad it would be helpful to post what happened and give an ETA.
