Instant Wins Have Disappeared!

[a170938b]

Earlier this morning, I played different $25 Instant Win games. Those games have now disappeared from the Sweeps and Instant Wins.

I did not win anything but due to that prompt disappearance, I wonder if I could have won anything at all and that maybe it was all a sham. Will I be reimbursed for those points? I suspect it was another error from AARP Rewards and probably could never give out any gift card at all no matter my luck!

I wonder if anyone won?

So, now that the Labor Day through mid-september Maintenance is done, and the AARP rewards site is up again, I can't find any Daily Instant Win Games. They appear to have discontinued? Any info on this?

[9/18/25] @KristBelt , did you see @AARPTeri post from yesterday? She said they are still down!

Thank you! I never would have found that post or that page. I see @teri says "We are working to bring them back to the program as soon as possible."

Hello, @a170938b. The Instant Win games you played were inadvertently available for a short time. These were valid Instant Win games, and if you played and won, you would have been notified immediately about your winning status. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. - Daniela R.

Oh well, I played like 20 times and never won anything anyway. RIP

[9/20/25] Hey Scott @ScottW999137 , this is an OLD THREAD from July 2025. This is NOW September 2025 = Instant Wins are still around. AARP had some issues 9/1. Rewards was down for about 17 days. Came back with a post  from @AARPTeri stating Instant Wins will be back. Don't give up. When you least expect it, you will win. I use the FREE OPTION = no points used. Won a $10 Barnes & Noble eGiftcard August 2025. Take care, Nicole!

What is a "free option" with no points used?

[Winter2025VA]

[9/23/25] Hi @KristBelt , it is a way to play the Instant Wins each day WITHOUT using your points. I won a $10 Barnes & Noble eGiftcard this August 2025. Never won anything before. I NEVER use my points. IF you need help with this, you can PM (private message) me or reply to my post (this one). Nicole!

Thank you for checking.

@AARPConsumerCare , NO pressure to respond but I have often wondered IF you guys [AARP] buy the GIFTCARDS OR ARE THEY DONATED? Secondly, it would really be AWESOME if there were more FOR POINTS cards us Retirees on a "limited income" could use. Thank you for all that you do. I know you work for AARP & have to do what they tell you to do = this is NOT a rant. Just my 1/2 cent as usual. HAPPY 4th when it gets here EVERYONE!!!

I've bought and used the Princess cruise gift card.  They are real and I've used them on board.  Unfortunately, I do not see them on the site anymore.  Only Celebrity and other cruises are available. very disappointed.

I can understand your concern, @a170938b. I've sent you a private message to take a look into this. Thank you. - Diana G.

I Put me on the list as well.   Didn't play yet today but did yesterday.

P.S.   @AARPConsumerCare   I just did today's instant wins and the $25 Amazon ones came up at the bottom of the screen as Recommended.  Of course hope sprung eternal, and I dropped another 100 points on them.  i doubt that they are actually in the system but who knows.

It's very simple. The instant Wins were offered and then they disappeared.

Meanwhile I and others played, did not win, lost points.

I believe you should take a look at AARP Rewards and inquire if there was any possibility to win or if it was just a mistake, a sham. If it was a sham everyone who played should have their points reimbursed.

Thank you for your interest.

Please reply to my private message, thank you. - Diana G.

@AARPConsumerCare  I entered the 2 Walmart, 2 Amazon, and 1 Lowes $25 Instant Wins this morning.  So did my husband.  Where did they go?  We also didn't win.

[JoLo49]

I also played the "extra"  $25 Instant Win games (7 total) before they disappeared and did not win any of them.  I wonder if I can get the 350 points returned, since those extra games have been removed and appears to be posted in error.

[J896552]

I saw them too.  I tried a $25 Amazon.  Didn’t win of course.  The group of instant wins were not there when I looked again.  Just disappeared.
