I agree! Either offer an instant e-card reward or don’t bother! Those flippin ‘sweepstakes’ entries are a scam. The choices are rather slim and non-tangible too,
And, why make me go thru the hassle at another website? Either email or allow the download of an electronic reward that I can apply at my choosing or don’t bother wasting my time.

Great question, @RJLange1955! Besides sweepstakes, we have instant wins, greeting e-cards, digital downloads, digital guides, coupon codes, subscriptions and limited gift cards. You can find a full list when you go to the Redeem section on AARP Rewards: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=14132557662 then, scroll down to "All Rewards" and adjust your filter by clicking on "For Points" and you can sort them by ascending points. - Diana G.

thanks - at times we forget that the rewards are sort of an incentive for us to learn via quizzes and videos - we need motivation to make our lives better ! My wife loved the short exercise and yoga videos during the pandemic. Personally, i'd rather have more opportunities for lower values (spread the wealth) than only 150 cards available for 30% discount. Besides, the higher redemptions might be enough of a disincentive to eliminate the "youngsters" from claiming all of the gift cards, leaving more for us members .....

Just wanted to share, I can assure you the sweepstakes are real. I generally play a few (5-6) of them daily and looking back, I have won several $100 cards over time.
Some popular games will have more people playing for the prize than others, but over the years, I have won $100 Old Navy, Omaha Steaks, Under Armor, Home Depot and Ruths Chris.
The odds of winning AARP sweepstakes seems small but the games are real.
Is this a good payback on the time invested, no. Is it fun? For me, yes. I don't do sports book, lottery or video arcades (poker/slots).

Janelle, I have over 70,000 points and I’ve searched many times for rewards. I agree with the reviews in this column that they aren’t really rewards. They are a way for AARP to make money off of members. With this many points I should be able to find something that I can use without a hassle and without spending any money. It feels like a scam for someone to take advantage of me.

Hello, @NancyE319570. Sorry, but you cannot obtain any cruise gift cards with points that you've earned by watching AARP videos, completing quizzes, etc... Yes, you will need to purchase these cruise gift cards out-of-pocket, RE: $450.00 Premium Carnival Gift Card, which is valued at $500 w/ 10% off.
Hope this information is useful for you!
@NancyE319570 wrote 11-10-2023 08:58 PM:So if I have 780 points and if I pick the $450 carnival gift card, do I still need to pay for it?

Earning points is not a problem—redeeming them is a sh!tshow! Go to this website “for further details”. What if I’m not in a space/time to go through yet another website’s hoops—that doesn’t take me to the actual reward? Or enter a **bleep** scam sweepstakes. That’s a reward? Just offer an immediate electronic coupon/code and stop all the **bleep** hoops. And let me sort rewards with a filter, so I don’t have to deal with the wasteful, non-helpful, non-rewards of ‘enter to win’ nonsense. 🙄

Hello everyone 🤗. Today I Want to try and get members to express the need for AARP Rewards 3 E-gift cards redemption a month should be increased due to Inflation. Can we start a petition or something? I've noticed the 3 different Hooters e-gift cards,1 (Extra Credit $5 (members only) 1 For everyone $5 and 1 Instant Win $10. They have quite a few e-gift cards for points. I say 3 Redemptions for non members and maybe 5 Redemptions for Members only. Everybody Let's get on board and push AARP Rewards for these benefits. They're making us watch more and more ads . I'm just saying

@MoniqueC566411 Hi Monique, here to help! I reviewed your account and it looks like the only email from Feb was for a $10 Banana Republic gift card redeemed on 2/18/2022. I was able to re-send it for you. You can expect to receive it within 24 hours; also be sure to check your spam folder in case it lands there. Please let me know if there's anything further I can do or if you need assistance with a different redemption!
