Not bad at all! Can always use a tote. 🙂

Good morning, @AARPTeri or @AARPJanelleM . I need your assistance, please. I have not received one item from the 2022 Holiday Rewards. [See below] Please advise when I can expect this item to be shipped, as USPS shows no label has been created, nor is it in package queue to ship. Thank you! 🙂

@KellytheBelly Thanks for letting us know. I'm sorry to hear that you never received your item. Since you did not receive your tote within the 3 week timeframe, I was able to refund the 8,000 points to your Rewards balance. 

[KellytheBelly]

Hi! Well, I do appreciate the points being returned, it's not really about that, though. Will I still be receiving the tote? No rush to find out (sort of), I would have hoped to eventually receive it, however. Please do let me know. Thank you! Hope you're having a great day. 🙂

[AARPJanelleM]

@KellytheBelly You may still receive it. We have seen members get their physical item after the 3 week timeframe due to delays with the USPS. However, we follow the 3 week timeframe for delivery; so if you do not receive the item in that timeframe, then you are eligible to receive a points refund. I'm always here to help- I hope you're having a great day as well! 

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

When will I receive this tote? thanks

[AARPJanelleM]

@Jason2020LovesKelly Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear that you never received your tote. I reviewed your account and I was able to refund you the points. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything I can do. 

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

To date I have not received this tote. Thank you.

[Therapist4u]

Good luck in finally getting it Jason...💼

Sittin' downtown in a railway station....

one tote over the line LOL! 😊

[AARPJanelleM]

@Jason2020LovesKelly Hey Jason! Which item are you referring to? I refunded the points for the missing tote in Feb. Let me know how I may be able to help!

[Jason2020LovesKelly]

Thanks.

[AARPJanelleM]

@Jason2020LovesKelly You're welcome!

[KellytheBelly]

Hello, again. Ah, it's been since December 5, 2022, and I have not received the Craftsman Tote. Now it's being offered on the Rewards page as a 'New' Physical Item. Problem here is that I cannot redeem it (see below), because I had already redeemed it back in December. Please advise. Thank you! 🙂

[KellytheBelly]

@AARPJanelleM  Hiya. FYI -- This matter has been resolved. I have received this tote, after all. Thank you for your assist.

[AARPJanelleM]

@KellytheBelly That's wonderful news, Kelly! Enjoy!

[rednexsrus]

@KellytheBelly Something is definitely wrong here Kelly.

The redemption period is not suppose to carry over into future months. If that was the case then we would not be able to win instant wins or use our points for items in the catalog that are being repeated by this administration. I know for a fact I have purchased some items for points that were added back into the catalog the following month.

This does not pass the smell test by no means.

Just Saying 

[KellytheBelly]

Hiya. Not sure if any of this is suspicious, but it was a let down that something like the holiday rewards offered to us should be, would be, a bit more special, or LE. If you didn't participate in December (2022), then you missed out. Rather, I felt the sting of a slap on the face when the same 'special' items were then released a few months later. It's like there was absolutely no reason to participate in the scavenger hunt at all. It became ordinary, meaningless, and not special, although it was meant to be a holiday treat. Not feeling that now. It's unfortunate, because I can see the rewards program to be a good thing, if organized correctly, which it is not. At least I did receive the items, but with this last one, it took two months, and it was re-offered after the fact. Don't call me sensitive, just call me! lol Ta! 😉

So, the scavenger hunt is over... But! I just wanted to shout-out to AARP for making this year's Holiday Rewards Scavenger Hunt much better than last year. By far, better than last year. 

Anyway...  !!!

[KellytheBelly]

The Hunt ends Friday, December 9, 9AM Eastern. 

Maybe this will help somebody...

Teri, I see others are having issues with holiday hunt. There are only 4 of 5 available. As far as I can determine, the “gift” in “about” does not materialize at all. Please advise 

[KellytheBelly]

Here's what to look for in the "About" section -- the gift is at the very top.

(See pics for reference below.)

[ld5951404]

Thanks for the visual. It helped to confirm I was looking in the right place. For some reason there’s nothing there for me. 

[KevinHoffmanEst]

I give up... could only find FOUR   Someone gave some hints... Said "Redeem----> Near You......Craftsman Tote"   Where is the part that says "near you??"  Im just not seeing it and give up

[shamit]

Click on the arrow next to Redeem and you will get the dropdown box that has the following:

   All Rewards

   Members Only

   Near You

   Extra Credit Rewards

Click on the Near You and you should find the gift box near the bottom of the page.  Hope this helps.

[Karyn8]

Do these gift box redemptions count towards our monthly limit of 3 redemptions?

[AARPJanelleM]

@Karyn8 Yes, items redeemed count toward the monthly limit. 

[hatfield6549]

Yes
