Redeem points - lack of quality products available

[tg2504]

Is anyone else disappointed in the gifts that are available for redemption of points? Who cares or needs “ecards”? Wish there were more gifts available that were for “real” hands on products. The type of products that a member of the Senior citizen community could use.  BTW….I love the games - they keep my mind sharp and are enjoyable.

Also, it's odd that when attempting to redeem a points only offer a message popped up that I needed to take an extra quiz.  When doing so, the next day, the item desired was no longer on the list of available items.  Agree the offers are disappointing.  Miss the magazine offers, too.

Great post tg! Here's something that has me smh each month (especially since the vendor is one suggested in AARP savings video to not use and to create at home to save money)...

It bothers me that "Members" spend 5,000 more points than "Extra Credit". Since I don't choose to spend at this establishment, I don't know if a member can only get one or the other? That's my question...

 I prefer e gift cards to real hands on products which are usually things I don't want or need. With gift cards I can buy what I want. My only desire is to see higher value gift cards. $5 doesn't pay the tax on my purchase.

I am also disappointed in the gift cards offers for points. $25 and $30 gift cards used to be available and now we are happy if we get $10 gift cards for points.
