Instant Wins Free Entry Method Missing

mi4090 · ‎11-12-2020

Hello Rewards Warriors

Am I the only member without the ability to use Free Method for the Instant Wins?

The Instant Win doesn't appear when Free Method is selected. @AARPTeri is this an error or a punishment. Please let us know about the 100 prizes awarded and over how many days in regard to Wins remaining more than (1) day. Thanks for your help.

Members let me know if this happens to you.

Have a Blessed Day

It appears that others are not having any

trouble using the Free Method.

Yes, I tried the back button and other things

that might have worked but didn't; Thanks

anyway. I tried the Edge browser in addition

to my usual Chrome browser and that didn't

help either.

I have always had issues with the free method that comes with numerous errors. It is easier and more time efficient for me to spend/waste the 50 points on each instant win game.

I can't get past the "We're Sorry" screen

to enter my information for the free entry

method. I've been having trouble since

Friday or so.

Please post if you are having a problem

with this. Thanks!

@andrewtoo Did you try back arrow? That usually works for me when I get the sorry or unavailable message. Back arrow then try again.

tribble22 · ‎05-06-2023

Hi @AARPJanelleM . I cannot find the link to the rules for the Gap Instant Win 5/6/23-5/12/23.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @AARPJanelleM ,

The link I found for this Gap instant win 5/6/23-5/12/23 game points to the front page instead of the rules. https://www.aarp.org/content/dam/aarp/rewards/redeem/rules/instantwins/30157-12-gap-iw.pdf

Thanks

tribble22 · ‎05-08-2023

It's working now.

Thanks @AARPJanelleM !

andrewtoo · ‎05-03-2023

@AARPJanelleM

Thanks for the response. I have tried several times this afternoon

and it is not working for me. I can't get past the "We're Sorry...."

page. Nobody else seems to have reported this problem, so,

maybe it is just me this time.

Thanks again,

AndrewToo

@andrewtoo You're welcome! Be sure to also check the troubleshooting steps to get back on track: The AARP Website Is Not Working As Expected

@tribble22

Thanks I tried both of your suggestions before you posted the second time.

Obviously the backspace wasn't the idea you meant to convey.

Thanks though, maybe another time the back arrow could work and I'll

keep it in mind.

Take care,

AndrewToo

@AARPJanelleM

I have tired over and over to enter from the listed instant win official rules games.

I keep getting this "We're Sorry..." page for all of them except the Amazon Card Game worked.

I just keep Refreshing over and over and get the same screen.

I have cleared cache and cookies (which has help, like only never) but I still can't enter.

I am especially interested in the Walmart Instant Win Game and I have not been able to get to the screen after this one.

Thanks so much for any help! Instant wins have been a hot mess lately.

We're Sorry....So am I.

@andrewtoo Are you still experiencing this issue? The free entry method appears to be working this morning. Let me know if there's anything I can do!

tribble22 · ‎05-02-2023

Hi @andrewtoo . I have had this problem before and backspace worked when refresh did not. Backspace then try again. I hope it works for you.

tribble22 · ‎05-02-2023

@andrewtoo I meant back arrow. Back out and try again. Sorry to be so confusing.

andrewtoo · ‎04-29-2023

@tribble22

Thanks so much for the Amazon rules link. It brought up the official rules for the IW game and I was able to enter as expected.

It is still not listed on the "Daily Instant Win Rules" page. Thanks for working your magic!

You're welcome @andrewtoo.

@AARPJanelleM @AARPTeri

The popular "Amazon.com Gift Card Instant Win" Official Rules beginning today, 4/29/23, are missing making it unavailable for to enter via the Free Entry Method.

I know it is Saturday, but, this happens on weekends. Maybe someone can post it today?

Thanks,

Andrewtoo

@andrewtoo This has been flagged, thanks!

Hi @andrewtoo and everyone. Here is the link for the Amazon Instant Win rules 4/29/23-5/5/23.

@garyfish49

You posted a question about this last month:

"Using the "free method," has anybody here actually ever scored an Instant Win? Do you get a "Lucky you!" message like when someone (almost never) wins using the 50-points method?

Just curious..."

It doesn't read "Lucky You!," but I got an email notice shortly afterward with the link to the gift card.

.

Below is the message I got today when I won an Instant Win Game gift card via the Free Entry Method:

WinnerWinnerChickenDinner!

Thanks for the info and follow-up, Andrew!

Keep up the good fight...

andrewtoo · ‎03-17-2023

@garyfish49

Good question, Gary.

Yes, I have won several times using the Free Method. Most recently that I can remember I won a card in the first few days of 2023.

Many times, as I fly through the entry using auto-fill to enter most of the information via the official rules; I may not notice the message that I had won a gift card. I certainly see the email notification with the link to my card that I have won afterwards. I forget what it reads after I win; it has changed over time.

I have won using the online catalog, too. (I like to call the entry boxes "tiles").

Well, it's Friday, so I expect something to go wrong with something tonight.

Take care, Gary, and thanks for all the Kudos you have given over time,

@AARPJanelleM

The "Papa John's eGift Card Instant Win" link is showing now.

However, I totally missed when it was posted. I can't check and re-check

for a link until it shows up. So, I missed the chance to entry the "Papa John's eGift Card Instant Win" on Wednesday the 17th.

🙁

@AARPJanelleM

Papa John's eGift Card Instant Win is missing from the official rules list.

@andrewtoo Thanks Andrew! The list has been updated 😊

Using the "free method," has anybody here actually ever scored an Instant Win? Do you get a "Lucky you!" message like when someone (almost never) wins using the 50-points method?

Just curious...
