Thank you @Therapist4u and to everyone for the great response.
I use the hyphen more than any, placed before any word you want to exclude from results.
use AND (all caps) between two words if you want your results to include both.
use OR (all caps) between two words to combine searches. Use it to search for results that have one of those words but not both.
Important to always remember, that just like AARP not showing for points gift cards even though you are filtering for them, sometimes you have to look beyond filtered results. I was happy to discover these worked on AARP.
Also amazingly helpful everyday is the Find Function in your browser, if you don't know it, you will find it an incredible time saver. You can use this to find words on a page without scrolling. Just remember it finds text, not text that is part of an image.

Hi @LesL269823 🙂 You’re welcome! ...& Thanks for your response...& for more of your helpful tips!👌👍 [sorry for delay in replying... but I only get a few of all the email notifications of the things I’m subscribed to 😒 ...l never did get yours....& rarely get topic posts anymore] ☹️
TBH: This is why I come often to this page....where you’ll find the REAL members... who are interested in helping all who come here to seek advice & answers! Most of the rest of the rewards program suxbigtime! 😄 Without the hidden rewards....(& “U never win so Y try” sweeps & lame instant... sorry you dint win ....wins) there is NOTHING to spend points on!😩
So at least there is fellowship & camaraderie here! ☀️
Take care! ☮️ 🏖 ⛵ ~Allen 🌈 🏝 🛶

Yes! You can use this same search feature on any browser, too, by typing a minus (-) before a word you'd want to omit from search results. This has been a thing for some time! I think I even learned from Ellen DeGeneres on Facebook. lol And, amazingly, it does work on AARP.
However, I hope, with this current maintenance, they fix the 'catalog of hidden items,' as I do not think Members should be doing scavenger hunts when they pay AARP for their rewards program, and what-not.

✔️Great work/ fix LesL269823 😃 😉
I just tried your fix and it cut down the number from about 93 to just 36 entries/ rewards. 😀
Just combine the experience and wisdom of our demographics; and we become 'more efficient/ better in our manners.'

So...Besides the NEW 'hidden' points only redemption GCs that @OneDayMatisyahu revealed just recently: 1) Jersey Mike's and Bath & Body Works, there seem to be (2) Jamba Juice points only redemptions now. I see the 'Extra Credit' Jamba Juice 5.00 for 12,000, and a 'hidden' Jamba Juice 5.00 for 13,000. 🤔

I'm glad the "points" search is still working for the most recent "hidden" gift cards.
Thanks for the heads-up!

2 New 'hidden Rewards' -
1 - Jersey Mike's Gift Card - Sold Out (as of ~ 6:30 pm -ish est )
$5.00 Value 14,000 Points ( Just went public - as of ~ 3:08 pm est )
------- > This would be about the 6th found 'somewhat hidden rewards' using the 'search function' I had mentioned a while back.
From ----> Redeem ----> 'All Rewards page' - don't enter any 'Filter By'
- just move across to ---> "Search for "pizza", "restaurants", etc ---> box and enter the word - jersey mike ( Is now offered in the regular catalog as of ~ 3:08 pm est )
--------------------------------------------------
2 - Bath & Body Works Gift Card Sold Out
(now seen in regular catalog as of 7-24-23; and is Sold Out )
$5.00 Value 15,000 Points
------- > This would be about the 7th 'somewhat hidden rewards' found using the 'search function' I had mentioned a while back.
From ----> Redeem ----> 'All Rewards page' - don't enter any 'Filter By'
- just move across to ---> "Search for "pizza", "restaurants", etc ---> box and enter the word - bath
Alternate Method - you can enter the word - " points " = but this will give a very large number of possible rewards available - and you will have to sift thru/ click on '' View More ' button to find these 'new hidden rewards' mentioned.
A shorter list can be seen by entering " points -greeting -coloring -ebook " <---( just copy and paste this phrase ) * Thanks to LesL269823 😃
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
😎 Oops!...I Did It Again
My forecast for these 2 3 * new 'hidden rewards' is that they will last a bit longer than normal now; rather than if they had been offered in the regular catalog.
* Congratulations to Kelly for finding the 8th 'hidden reward' - that actually cost more points than the first Jamba Juice gift card - 🤔

Scroll down. It's explained by several members in different ways.
From ----> Redeem ----> 'All Rewards page' - don't enter any 'Filter By'
- just move across to ---> "Search for "pizza", "restaurants", etc ---> box and enter the word - kohl
😎 As of 7:00 pm est it is still there/ available.
FYI - these 'hidden rewards' were first reported/ posted back on June 14th of this thread.

So true.
My theory/ opinion: of all the ARRP members who engage in the Rewards Program - most will not check out the ARRP forums - in particular this thread. These 'hidden rewards' I have mentioned are not listed in the regular catalog/ with filters on or off but can only accessed by using the 'search function' I had mentioned.'
So one can say we are a small exclusive hard core 'reward fanatics' - who take the time to check the forum; and are now somewhat given somewhat 'special access' to these rewards.
We all have complained about rewards 'being sold out' so quickly; but now - we few here are given more time to get these perks/ rewards. 😃 I like it.
You can bet if these 'hidden reward items' were offered on the Extra Credits first of the month - open to all - in the regular rewards catalog - these items would have mostly been gone in a few hours/ quick time.
One can 'almost say' AARP have devised a way to those who frequent and contribute to the forum ( AARP likes our activity) an 'advantage/ a special privilege/ a pre-view with more time' ✔️
😎 This is my theory/ opinion.

@OneDayMatisyahu You are correct. Most do not frequent the forums or the hidden gem would be long gone. However, I imagine someone is hard at work to "fix" this, to negate any tiny advantage forum members might discover. That has been the pattern in the past such as the physical items not counting as redemptions. Someread read that and told the programers to change it.

I find it very annoying lately.I have about stopped watching videos or doing anything to earn points.Show whats offered and let whomever sees it first get it.No one has time to go on a wild goose chase for hours each month to get nothing.They also need to update so you can have a billing and a shipping address without wasting tons of money to send new cards every time you have to switch to a physical address to get a gift then back to mailing address.I don't want or need cards mailed anyway since all membership materials can be digital or printed.They could offer the option to have them mailed to persons that wanted them.With all the theft I don't have anything mailed unless its the only option.Last month was the first month I didn't get three redemption s for a long time.I really like aarp but the rewards program needs updated.Each update has been less user friendly.

@MemberS2006 It's really good to know that I can find the hidden redemptions now by searching 'Point/Points,' and not by business/retailer name (ie Kohls, The Container Store, etc...), as that seems more reasonable. I expected Kohl's to be sold out, too.

Fantastic work by all! [ RE: H i d d e n P o i n t s O n l y I t e m s ⚠️ ] ...
Wild stuff, that nobody contests this form of finding points only redemptions. Seriously hoping AARP won't take that away, too, and at the same time, I cannot believe I am writing this. I think we should be able to redeem with a bit more ease, rather than leaping through hoops to find a points only redemption. I don't get it. I don't get why they've done this. I just don't understand. As a member, this is not good news. There's nothing good about having to do this, whatsoever.

Well, my friend, I don't think that I found anything that wouldn't have been found with @AnneG461594 's idea of searching for "points" without filters. I was celebrating her idea and it appears to bring up the hidden deals that have been so elusive thus far.
I was just showing with my screen copies what the search looks like on the Redeem All page, for those not as familiar with the search function.
This "points" search could become the new "points only" option in the online catalog. A game changer!!!
