AARP Rewards Complaints and Disappointments

Hello Rewards Warriors,

 

This post is intended to serve as a  location where members can share their complaints and disappointments.  Also, let Management know what we want to see in the catalog and voice your concerns. Let's speak up!

 

Hopefully, with this information in one place it'll be easier for Management to know what paying & non paying members think.

 

Have a Blessed Day

Marylin

@andrewtoo   You can also view other AARP member's profiles as well to see their accumulated Kudos and postings. I don't think the number of kudos accumulated is directly related to Status Ranking.   @mi4090  questioned the transparency of how the Status Ranking is determined and felt the kudos was an important factor.

 

The hot topics and informational postings are always highlighted in each section if they haven't been read.....that is how I find new information.   Some members are getting alerts of new postings, however, I no longer get those alerts anymore.   AARP seems to be streamlining the site, and probably noticed not many members were using the top kudos section.

I'm disappointed that Amazon "Points Only" gift card was buried and hidden in a newsletter during holiday season, and not placed in catalog😮.

Good morning. Did you notice they scrambled up the redeems for points today? It's a real mess. Like they are trying to hide something. They need to get rid of the Kohls gift card (which is sold out) and put something in its place TODAY and then put another gift card out to replace the ridiculous 5.00 Overstock gift card being there for over two weeks. Is nobody paying attention? STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH YOUR MEMBERS! What are you actually giving back to us, in return for us paying you for a membership? Just curious. I really had no qualms early on, not until you made it virtually impossible to get (3) different redeems for (3) different vendors. I really do not understand how anyone is ok with this scavenger hunt of a program.

I'm disappointed and complaining that you can only use your points to get (1) reward per vendor with max of three per month;  it use to be (3) max regardless of vendor 😡.

I'm complaining about members not receiving rewards emails containing reward after using points to purchase.

Hope it works 🙄 😭 but I don't think our Dear Administrator will put out any effort to make improvements. Whenever they make changes it only makes things worse.

Of course, I am disappointed. I feel like AARP is playing games with their members, and really 'giving it away' with non-members. For instance, today is Valentine's Day, and either later tonight, or tomorrow, the 1-800-Flowers.com Gift Card will be sold-out, right? They would have had no control over it selling out, but it will coincidentally sell-out to coincide with what gift cards they want to release, and how they want to control them. Wait and see. 😉

I'm disappointed that "Points Only" Amazon Daily Deals disappeared many months ago. Will this reward be coming back?

Disappointed and complaining that Top Kudos stats on Earn Activities and Redeem forums have disappeared.  

Status Ranking will become very questionable without the information.  Management please return this information to these forums.

@mi4090   You can go into your AARP profile to see the total number of Kudos you have received along with the number of comments you have posted.  The information doesn't need to be posted in a separate Top Kudos Section.

I'm very concerned about the Rewards "Points Only" gift cards for only $5.  Gift card value is sad🥲.

I join the others who have already posted a concern about the value of the cards recently, let me add that there are a lot of cards posted that are for more regional brands than national brands, perhaps that is because of the location of Hello World but I think they should stick with brands that most members could use - for example more Amazon/Target/Walmart and less grocery chains that are only in certain regions of the country
