@gm5271 Still waiting on my copies of Women's Health and Women's Day Magazines ordered in mid September. Haven't gotten them yet but they sure did put me on their email lists. Sometimes get multiple emails a day from Women's Health. Also, get emails to get me to subscribe.(lol). I wish they would just send me the ones I already subscribed to.

Hello Ginger,
It took a lot of calling the publisher and finally got Dec/Jan issues last week. Took (6) months๐ข
Glad you got yours, and hope all is well.
Have a Blessed Day

I agree. I miss the chances for the simple rewards of something I could use like a $5 gift card. I am not interested in bluetooth pill organizers (who comes up with these ideas?), stock car racing,or another water bottle. I have tried to use the initially free option to "win" a few of the daily or weekly prizes but the odds seem to be quite low. I also feel like the few options to use points are focused on what they think old people need or want but frankly I don't feel like I fit into the preceived mold.

I am also disappointed in the new rewards program. There are many reasons that I am disappointed. One reason is the "Filter By" to earn points. The Themes are okay. My problem is with the "Sort By" either Recommended or Point Value. I keep having to page down to find videos or quizzes that I have not completed. It gets old to page down and page down. It would be great to have only the videos or quizzes that I have not completed come up first. Or I would like to have additional filters.
Also, after I finish a video or quiz, I have to click on Redeem, go back to that page and click on Earn, and then go through all the filters again. Gets very old. It would be nice to go back to what I had filtered before completing a quiz Instead of going through the whole process again. It is really just a waste of time.
I also find the Rewards lacking. I liked the old Auctions. At least I had some chance of winning something. Although I really objected to the tier policy on the old Rewards for Good. I shouldn't have had to "pay" more for an auction only because I had "saved' points for quite a while.
On the new program, showing all gift cards that you can buy, is not a Reward to me. I am probably never going to win a Sweepstakes. I haven't yet. The items to spend your points on, such as a water bottle, do not interest me. Therefore, only the Daily Instant Win, or perhaps the Weekly Instant Win, is of interest to me. And some of the items on the Instant Win, are not for me especially if there is not a store in my area in which to use the gift card. Other than the Instant Wins, I am wasting my time. I may be learning a few things on the quizzes and videos, but that is probably it. I hope some changes will be made to the new program.

AARP Rewards wasn't ready to be launched.

ME! I'M DISAPPOINTED!
So, disappointed. This new rewards program really sucks and is just a joke.
A pitifully small catalog of rewards, especially in points only rewards, so-called "local deals" which are no better than the coupons that come all the time in the mail, Most of these "deals" require you to use points for discounts that you could get for free anyway.
The selection of merchandise is puny and sad. Really? Does anybody really want or NEED another run of the mill water bottle or a pill organizer??? Oh boy, really excited about those!
No Daily Deals, no auctions with gift cards and other items that actually have value. No magazines of any kind including points only ones.
Really AARP??? It's not even worth spending time trying to earn points if there's nothing to even spend them on. Whoever came up with this idea should be fired. You've let us all down.

I am also disappointed in the new rewards program the only Sweepstake I've been able to enter is the Fitbit Sweepstake, I can't find or enter any of the otherones that are listed at the bottom of the Fitbit for the Rules.
I think this was done on purpose so that no one will win.
AARP Rewards you have to do better and better direction on where to find things.

When will they bring back the discounted gift cards? Why did they take away just about all of the discounted giftcards? It has been over a month since this "NEW AND IMPROVED" rewards program went into place. The only improvement I'm seeing is AARP benefitting from this: taking away from the SENIORS and saving money from taking away the rewards we used to have.

Thank you Briana and Teri (I wouldn't want your job right now!) I just found this little corner of the site....yes, I am disappointed---especially considering the months prior full of promises. But I will hang in there, because I have seen some small signs of progress, although I will hold onto most of my points until some worthwhile gift cards and merchandise become available. I will be watching! Just wish the rollout had been better---I think a lot of people will just get fed up and leave.

I don't know where the new rewards program resides, but I'm disappointed that I cannot find the old list of items I've purchased under the old program. Why delete those? Also I ordered 2 magazinesthat were zero points befor close of the program to use up some points, didn't receive a confirmation for one of them so don't know if it shows a having been ordered by me since there's no record online.
