Hey AARP - you cheated me! - Page 2

So I got this email from AARP to "spin the wheel" on my birthday to earn extra points. So I did and the Wheel clearly says "1500 pts" but the "congratulations" says only 750 pts! What a SCAM! Here's a screenshot:

Well - I can't see the screenshot - - here's what I got when I tried to post:

This is really lowww AARP!

@hondochica, I am not surprised at your issue.

This is the same AARP that partnered with THE ENTERTAINMENT BOOK for coupon rewards where I earned enough points to print a coupon for a free round of golf at one of our local golf courses only to find:

(1) The golf course was closed due to bankruptcy.

(2) The golf course closed, due to bankruptcy, PRIOR to the appearance of the coupon in AARP'S reward program.

(3) The golf course had been closed over a year prior to the appearance of the coupon in AARP'S REWARD PROGRAM. The course had weeds growing, chain link fences surrounding it, padlocks on the fences.

(4) Further research showed that the course was forced into bankruptcy because the owners of the course had been involved in spurious legal matter. The government forced the bankruptcy.

Since then, and this was several years ago, I haven't paid a bit of attention to AARP's REWARDS PROGRAM.

I have several other examples where I had coupons for restaurants that were closed, or the restaurant refused to accept the coupon because they never signed up to be a participant in the program, or the restaurant never heard of the program.
