I'm deeply distrustful of the whole Rewards operation. For one, I've gone through more than 400 consecutive Instant Wins and won nothing. NADA. And why is that?  Anyone explain that? And what about finding out some general information on who's winning the rewards sweepstakes? Is there any attempt on the part of the provider/operator or AARP Rewards to give out some information that explains there are real people winning the sweeps? AND why can't the provider of AARP Rewards provide me a running total of my cumulative entries into a sweepstake? It used to do that, provide a running total on all my entries, but now it doesn't do that. As always, I'm deeply skeptical of the people running this thing...    

I just joined AARP last week. Since I'm mostly bedridden, I spent a lot of time on earning rewards. After the first two days, I can't redeem any rewards..I've tried it through thr app, different browsers, etc. , but I keep getting the "unable to process your redemption request "This is frustrating as I was hoping to get the daily max chewy and Amazon sweepstakes entries as. I'm poor. I'll try calling customer service on Monday. Just posting in case any AARP. moderator can fix this problem. Unfortunately, I see that this is a common problem and sometimes doesn't get fixed according to others on this board. This is frustrating. 

I am curious as to whether or not the free alternate entry method is worth the time to input my info rather than just using points. Has anybody won an instant win using it? Happy 4th everyone!
