8 straight days no gift cards for points?

[AndrewM333062]

what happended to the gift cards for points, 8 days in a row nothing. must have gave them all out last month when almost everyday there was new gift card for points listed. maybe someone knows when some will be listed?

I guess it is just another cutback.  There is no reason to earn points if there is absolutely nothing to use them on.  I think I will will be cutting back dramatically on earning points.  I have way too many points and now no random gift cards to use my points on.  Winning an Instant Win or Sweepstakes is very very rare.  No random cards.  And only 6 cards offered in the Extra Credit.  And those are usually only $5 cards and most are for places that are nowhere near me or I have no use for.  The rewards program had become worthless.  But no surprise there, Merkle has pretty much run every rewards program into extinction when they take over.

I feel the same. I have worked hard for those points. A 5 dollar Walmart is not worth it. Seems like a lot of hassle at the cash register for 5 bucks. I check several times a day to look for gift cards for points and they have had a few. 
Time for me to move on also unless something changes.

Hi Willow! If you click on "Filter by" you can click on Points only. And more should show up. There were quite a few on Friday. -Sue J

It would be nice if someone from AARP would just explain the issue.If its cut backs,etc most people would understand and it would save people time looking/waiting for one to redeem.There use to be many reward programs and most are gone now.The rewards here have gotten fewer and fewer the last year or two also so clearly something is happening.I will still continue to buy discount cards regardless.

 I can still get my $20 domino's gift cards for $16 so that's something positive

 We're up to 15 days no rewards now. SAD!

 Today the 12th of the month and still no gift cards for points. It is now the sweepstakes for points reward program!

A lot of companies aren't promoting due to cost possibly.Not sure how they get cards to give away but I assumed sponsorship for promotion in most instances.Everything is scaling back it seems lately.Many places are hanging by a thread just to stay in business and don't spend money for advertising.I sure miss all the sites that you could earn gift cards and other rewards.Hardly any left now.

last month almost daily there were cards to get for points. according to our president the economy is booming so i don't think that's the problem

  Not to say your statement is wrong, but particulally last month and maybe a short period before, I noticed that when point rewards were posted and gobbled up quickly, they no longer appeared, even as sold out.  So while you might be right, I do have to wonder if over the course of the February days, points only rewards were only posted briefly and disappeared after being sold out.  On Feb 1, for what its worth, Walgreens (22k points for a 5$ gift card and Papa John's 5$ GC were available. I suspect the point of the post was about after Day1 though.

me and a friend check every couple hrs and there has been nothing listed but extra credit rewards

[Karyn8]

 If there had been any rewards for points since the few $5 extra credits I believe Kellybelly 

would have posted them. She is on top of that area of rewards.

 Today is the 10th of the month and still no rewards for points. Gotta wonder what kind of rewards program this is with no rewards.
