@rednexsrus You are right. Nonmembers should be excluded from points only redemption. In on sweepstakes, cash offers, and use points only for incentive to join AARP. The good part of the new program is the excellent extensive content. I am thinking this is provided by AARP such as the content on the AARP website. The free greeting cards, as others have said, have been available on the internet almost from the beginning. Points for sending them? This is just one more way to make it seem like the program is offering more when it has shrunk drastically from this time last year. Putting the instant wins on for a week does not make more winners. Putting a big black banner and large pictures does not make the program more attractive. As I've said before, we may be older, but we are not stupid. It's time for AARP to consider another provider for the rewards portion and retaining its own excellent content. And the promotional emails encouraging people to be part of the program and implying they could profit like Dawn? No more of that until the program is improved. Not enough here for the current members, much less way more. Only one or two months could someone have earned the amount Dawn did with the $50 golf or pet cards. Those have disappeared and people should not be led to think they can save this much money routinely...a mortgage payment? Way misleading.
