Today's rewards has the wonderful Panera card!!!

Taking the grands to Panera today and will save $25!

Really appreciate this and glad I kept availability for the end of the month.

If you hadn't noticed already, take a look to redeem.

Thanks, AARP!

@BeachGirl23 So glad you got it! A $25 card makes our efforts worthwhile!

It does, doesn't it? While getting points, I have watched Denise Austin's work out videos so many times I can now read her lips when my sound is muted. If only I could burn calories watching her work out. That would be lovely.

I so appreciate your keeping us informed. Thank you.

Hello @HokiePoq

I love the Panera Bread gift cards Good looking out, and please keep looking in case we miss it, thanks.

I have also hit my limit for the month, and @andrewtoo it would be great if we could get a heads up on something new being added to the catalog.

Have a Blessed Day

Save one in March just in case! I was ready this morning to use mine on three Regal $5 cards but they were gone when I looked. Then what I really wanted came up at 9. So excited and used it already.

Hope you are fortunate in March and that you got goodies in February!

@HokiePoq

Thanks for the alert. I have my three redemptions for point-only offers already, so I couldn't use it. However, I grabbed one of these one time before and used it within 48 hours!

@AARPTeri

The $25 Panera eGift card reward is one of the best for me, so far. I'm just really unsure what time to watch for rewards to show up other than the obvious instant win at 9 AM and daily deals at 12 PM.

Is there a time we should be looking for other offers to be available?

Thanks

@andrewtoo The new points only appear at 9 A.M. EST. New ones don't appear every day but when they do, it has been at 9 EST. That's when the Panera came up today. I'd been checking all week as the end of the month is fast approaching. If anyone has seen them pop up at other times, please let us know.

So AARP wants me to get up at 6:00 AM PST ( 9:00 AM EST ) to have any chance to grab some deals that i actually like ....NO WAY .... Too early for us here in California ....I ONLY GET UP AT 6AM if we have an earthquake !!!!!!

AARP please change the time to make fair to all of us ( not just EST USA ) !!!!!

HokiePoq · ‎03-04-2020

@valeriov52121 You have a valid point about the time for Pacific Time members

andrewtoo · ‎03-03-2020

@valeriov52121 Agreed

I too would like to see the new points-only items posted later in the day. 12:00 ET would be nice.

Thanks

Color me stupid but I really don't know what you all are talking about! Are there special deals that pop up at certain times? Are they points only deals, that is don't require a credit card to get? Where do these show up?

Sorry for all of the questions. How very nice it would be if AARP Rewards would provide info on what they are doing when and how to take advantage of the 'deals'.

HokiePoq · ‎02-29-2020

@BeachGirl23 Thanks to @andrewtoo for answering your question. First click on "Redeem" and then click on "All Rewards" and there you will find it. It is under that black banner list.

Happy getting points only rewards! The ones you send money with are usually less than fabulous, especially in comparison with what you pay at the warehouse clubs. Panera is gone now but check that place daily and you will find points only deals.

@BeachGirl23

Try the Redeem page: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/all/

You should see deals on this page, and yes, this is where the point-only gift card redemptions may be found (also, instant win, daily deals, other opportunities, etc.)

You may need to click on the ALL REWARDS button on a menu as shown below (this menu is not at the top of the page):
