Yeah, I know it seems daunting... 😒
.....and don't forget there are occasional 'Instant Win' and "Monthly Sweepstakes" with Amazon Gift Cards; where you need to redeem points/ (or in the case of Instant Win - an option for one daily free online entry )
[ Personal Note: a long while back I did win a $100 Amazon Gift Card in a Monthly Sweepstakes - yes it's true and it is possible to win a Sweepstakes - you do need to enter lots and for the most part see a lot of 'not winning this time, again.....and again.....]
One extra thing you can do is just write one post in this thread ---> LATEST AVAILABLE POINTS ONLY! - AARP Online Community
The next time these new gift cards show up and are reported by the 'usual reward fanatics' - you should get a notification in the e-mail
My Personal Note: for today I woke up and went on line to AARP around 7 a.m.- ish and signed out before 8 a.m.(no sign of the Amazon Gift card.... yet), and I then went on to do some e-mail work and it was there in an email notification about the Amazon gift Card is 'when and where' I found out about the gift card at about 8:30 a.m. est - I quickly logged back to AARP and I got this one. 👍
I read that there was one $10 Amazon earlier in the month April 4 - for that one I missed out.
For the past few years if you know about the first day of the new month...

A $5.00 Amazon Gift Card ( Member's Only ) is usually available - so you can say 'this is a preview' if...you can muster thru the 'process' at this late hour. 😪
