Well it's the start of a new month (May) and the Extra Credit Deals are just as
disappointing as ever. As expected the extra credits did not move off the $5 scale.🤔
Another thing I discovered was until a reward cycles through you are not allowed to
purchase it again even though it's in a NEW month. (Limit 1 per person. you have already
redeemed for this item. This item is limited to one per user RULE)
Everything resets (extra credits, quizzes, videos, calculators ect.) at the start of the new
month, why not rewards for points. Evidently until a reward gets tagged SOLD OUT and
reintroduced later you cannot purchase it again. In essence if a reward is not SOLD OUT
it could be listed indefinitely thus preventing you from making another purchase ever.
I have noticed from comments posted here more members in this forum are becoming to
realize that the Administrator of the AARP Rewards Program, Merkle Inc. aka
HelloWorld is not being honest and transparent in it's dealings with us.
Kudos to @BeachGirl23 and @Tomsowa for their investigations and concerns that all is
not right with this program.😀
Our Community Managers seem to show interest in only solving minor and
inconsequential concerns and suggestions and ignoring the hard questions.
There is so much wrong with this program and the way senior's are being treated, who by
the way make up the majority of the people in this program. You could say we are Work
From Home employees who are grossly underpaid. We watch the ads placed throughout
the videos and web pages from advertisers and some (harryanddavid.com,
butcherbox.com and trugreen.com) don't even contribute to the reward eGift cards.
We complete the quizzes and engage in other numerous activities and are rewarded with
meager compensation. i.e. $5 digital gift cards. I don't believe all the people involved in
this program from the celebrity fitness experts to the writers, camera and video experts,
tech support personnel ect ect would even consider working for such ridiculous
compensation. Let's not forget if not for us senior's this rewards program and the AARP
organization itself would not exist.
Just Saying
Hey Gary
Yep indeed it was gone in less than 30 minutes from when I saw it..... personally I've found it requires alot of checking although the day which is kinda bummer
Last month the one day I was out and about I missed Amazon 😞 so I've been diligent this month checking all times of day
Once see 2 offers in day I know can go about my business.... but as you say anyone working or busy can miss out. I used to check when do games in morn but that no longer works if I don't wanna miss out on cards I really want (Amazon/ Walmart/ Sam's ect)
I've found the "Latest Points offer" thread to be very helpful can check emails for notices although I got away from posting them all it can help most folks check their emails regularly so be sure to subscribe to thread &/or Forum if you don't already
I agree with being only for members - which Amazon was (see screenshot of sold out members only) I believe on popular offers there's enough members to get gone fast & it did.... in past we've had times with no offers last few months they've really had alot of offers... with limit of 3 per month gotta be real picky about what choose to redeem & we have no idea how many there truly is?
As I've always felt in this and old rewards... it's luck of draw
It drives me kinda nuts always be checking site (hopefully AARP gets $$) but I used to plan my days around being free at 3PM everyday for old rewards Daily Deals... those were the good old crazy days... don't miss that... Thankfully we always know next days offer now... was a surprise back then..whew🤯🥴
Anyway my thoughts
Good luck !
