Hi Nicole,
If you sort the quizzes by earn frequency and go to page 7 these quizzes worked for me today.....
eye anatomy, caregiving by the numbers, electric car knowledge, fit after 50, muscles, protein, menopause, long term care, apps and privacy, vegetarian diet, gain weight faster as you age, gift card scams. Also the Denise Austin cardio core video worked. That's all I have so far.

Another round of frustration from the utterly incompetent AARP tech people (and really I blame management). Completely random for the past couple of days -- sometimes I get points, sometimes I don't. So I end up doing two or three times the number of activities I should have to do, just to try to hit the max. Ridiculous!

Hey @r767831w , keep in mind the AARP Rewards Program is "handled" by Merkle - the company AARP "is paying" to handle it for them. ๐ What AARP needs to do is REPLACE this company like yesterday.

Thanks, but I'm not sure you're entirely correct about that. My understanding is that Merkle handles fulfillment (like sending us gift cards), but that the tech glitches in doing activities and being credited for them are internal to AARP. I could be wrong though, maybe others know more.

You are probably "correct" @r767831w !!! Lol, NOT a "tech" savvy old lady. Either way I am SICK of all this. ๐ค

Hi Nicole
well itโs a not working answer.
System lets me receive points for only one quiz only, ???
all the other quizzes on the first page indicates 450 points, but when you click on one and it comes up it does not have the points badge. NO POINTS
all the rest of the quizzes are missing the points badge. This started after maintenance
will this ever end !!! ๐ซ

Hi Lucy @rednexsrus , AARP really needs to "cut" Merkle (company handling the AARP Rewards Program) loose!!! ๐ค
But I am sure there is a CONTRACT involved. ๐
Now to HOPE, the "next" company will do better. ๐ค
NO pressure to share, but what QUIZ did it "allow" you to do?
Take care my friend,
Nicole ๐๐ค
