Rewards Moments: Treat Yourself!

[AARPTeri]

When have you redeemed AARP Reward points just for yourself?

What did you redeem?  Share your experiences with others!!

I'm on a fixed low income so I saved up some $5 gift cards to buy myself some Chicago Bears and Chicago **bleep** jerseys (which they've bleeped out & I don't know why since it's the name of the Chicago Basketball Team????)  I can wear my jerseys and represent my hometown teams while in another state, but for some crazy reason I can't say the name of the basketball team on here, which is weird!! Da Bears!  Da **bleep** (see what I mean, weird???)

{My Hint- Check out the company's policy on how many gift cards you can use on a purchase, since some businesses allow up to10 gift cards at one time and some only 1.}

$5 doesn't even buy a cup of coffee anymore.  We also used to enter sweepstakes and instant wins all the time, but never won.  Seemed like a waste of time. Not really any fun.  We've stepped away from the rewards program.

Hey, I’ll take yours!  Found money never refused.

[WebWiseWoman]

Agreed. Those little "waste of time" GCs have provided me with a pound of coffee and/or a dozen-and-a half eggs I couldn't have enjoyed on my social security income, so I too will take cast offs.

That would be nice if people who no longer wanted to participate, could donate their points!

Multiple sweepstakes and instant wins. I redeem for several every month. Haven’t won anything. I’m a glutton for punishment!

[SereneSeagull]

Yeah, but it’s fun, and you just never know, you may hit it! 👍

[Barbisme]

Yep, I just won my very first sweeps here today - Ulta $100!!! I’d been getting very discouraged too, so am now a believer that they are very real now! 

[SereneSeagull]

@Barbisme Oh wow!  Congrats on that.  That’s a big win! Nice!
