Hello everyone,

I have to agree with @Jason2020LovesKelly why is the Holiday Hunt labeled 2023 ?  🤔  Its still 2022 and this thing surely is not going to last into the new year, or is it ??  😫😕

WOW, double WOW, In all the years that I have been participating in the AARP Rewards Programs this is the first time I ever saw a TOPIC that stretched into two pages of post for the same day AND had absolutely no positive comments. NONE.

The IT department really missed the boat, and stumbled into the water this time.

Why on earth would they introduce an activity that they never even bothered to test. ????

I challenge all of the AARP moderators, managers, and concierges to do whatever it takes to convince this administrator that this Holiday Hunt was not only mishandled but was totally unfair to the scores of paying members. Somebody needs to do the right thing and have this activity started over again with a sufficient quantity of presents and MEMBERS ONLY offers.This is in no way ranting, but just stating the cold hard truth. 

[AARPTeri]

@Jason2020LovesKelly   - Oops!  It should be 2022 and is now displaying accurately!  Thanks for your keen eyes!

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

This may be a silly question, but why is it 2023, and not 2022?

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

AARP Rewards>'Connect'. See gift box at bottom of page.

Open to reveal: 22,000 Zappos 10.00.

I think this is the replacement for the 'Sold Out' Amazon. Could be wrong, but I could not locate Amazon any longer.

[JeanA556544]

I can only find 4 holiday hunt icons. Any hints?

[OneDayMatisyahu]

I would have answered earlier but I needed to cook my one meal per day/ I was getting hungry.

The Starbucks card was there earlier today although no way to redeem it. But now that gift is gone from the About page.

Just confirmed - Sold Out.

[AARPTeri]

Try using the drop down menu option on the rewards main page (discover page), there will be one on most of the topics listed there 🙂 including that page if you scroll down far enough! Hope this helps!

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

No surprise, I am having log-in issues! It's not exactly fair to launch something and nothing works so some people miss out. 🙄

[a170938b]

It does not seem to be working at all.

[AARPTeri]

When you find the holiday boxes on different pages, you click to see that prize. They have all been working and users busy grabbing those deals today. Are you having another issue?

[shamit]

@AARPTeriI am having the same problem. I was logged in and then somehow your site logged me out. It tells me I have come to the right place, but there may be an issue displaying this page. Not the first time this has happened.

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

Yes, same. Although, I can come here and post. Strange happenings.

[AARPTeri]

@shamit - I sent you both private messages to try to help further.

[KarenBaum]

How do you send/receive private messages?

[AARPTeri]

If you scroll up this page while logged in, you will see an envelope (next to My Profile, My Settings), if you click on this you will see this, additional here is a FAQ in our Help area on it - https://community.aarp.org/t5/help/faqpage/faq-category-id/pm#pm

[KarenBaum]

Got it, Thanks

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

Hi. thanks, Teri. Everything is fine now, I have used a different browser. Appreciate it!

[WebWiseWoman]

And crazy as it may seem, they were wonky for first 4-5 hours; never able to claim (while at the same time other earn opportunities didn't add up)...

I really suggest AARP use an end-user panel to test this before announcing and failing; please, please consider that?

#StaySafe

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

Yes, when watching videos the points would not register, and also the links under Transaction History are non-working. Seems this holiday rewards thing has affected the rest of everything else.

[hatfield6549]

This is nice but if you have already used your 3 Rewards for the month, you can't participate. Pretty much bogus if you ask me!

[garyfish49]

Amazon GC now has this message:

We’re working to get more inventory

This item is currently out of stock

And, of course, the Amazon GC was available to all -- members as well as the rampaging hordes of freeloading NON-MEMBERS -- so it's no wonder it sold out so rapidly... and if more Amazon cards are acquired, you can bet that they too will disappear in a heartbeat. This is totally unfair to those of us here who pay annually to be MEMBERS and who can't spend all day on the AARP Rewards website ready to pounce on deals when they first become available.

I am strongly advocating that if additional Amazon GC's are made available as part of the Holiday Hunt promotion, that they be allocated to MEMBERS ONLY.

[OneDayMatisyahu]

Psst.... I was ready to Kudo your post when I 'had to verify your assertion' about the Amazon Gift Card today 'open to all' ---- it was a 'Members' Only'----$10.00 Amazon gift card for 12,000 points.

....but, you still get a Kudo. I didn't get the Amazon; but it would have been really nice. ----- ( A good value redemption )

.

( Personal Note ) When the new Extra Credit first of the month started with 2 or 3 high demand/ low value and expensive cards [Amazon, Target...] ---- I hedged/ the bet that there would be 'better redemptions later on in the Dec., so I didn't bite/ no redemptions and saved my dance card for instance like today; but missed it by time-wise. I'm hoping that AARP would be more generous this last month of the year. 🤔

.

Re-Vision: if garyfish and hatfield saw no 'Members Only' banner then maybe they were right first - in earlier time; but later around 12:30 noonish est I did check in real time and it was there and if you go to Thread Latest Points - jason has a picture around 12:33 noon-ish of the banner, too. ---> Re: LATEST AVAILABLE POINTS ONLY! - AARP Online Community

AARP web master could have edited/ modified. ( after seeing your post.???? )

Garyfish is on the west coast - 3 hour difference = factor??

.

I trust you; you two. 😀  Any how's it seems it is all Member's Only redemptions now.

.

😎

[garyfish49]

ODM... thanks for the info. But I could've sworn that when I "hunted down" the Amazon GC shortly after noon --- and discovered it was no longer available -- that it didn't have the Members Only banner attached to it. I'll chalk it up to yet another Senior Moment.

[hatfield6549]

You aren't seeing things. I saw it also.

[Karyn8]

some are sold out already

[VadimR154252]

Well, Amazon GCs are sold out, what's the point of displaying empty gift box?

And Starbucks card says: "Purchases of this item are limited to one." and blocks me, although I didn't get any SB this year at all
