We are happy to share AARP Rewards program is now back online. Most features are available, and you can now earn, redeem points and purchase discounted gift cards.

 

Unfortunately, Instant Wins and Sweepstakes are not currently available.  we are working to bring them back to the program as soon as possible.

 

We understand that the program interruption has been frustrating, and we want to sincerely thank you for your understanding. Please accept 500 bonus points on us. Claim your 
 points by entering MAKEGOOD on the AARP Rewards site.

 

in addition, we will extend all points scheduled to expire on October 1st to November 1st, giving you an extra month to redeem.

 

For details see the points expiration section in your transaction history.

 

Thank you for being a valued part of the AARP Rewards community.

      MAKEGOOD wasn't recognized I guess because I had already earned points by playing videos.

          In addition to the 500 bonus points,  it would be nice if $10 gift cards for point redemption could be offered to make up for the missing Instant Win games and Sweepstakes.

            Normally we would be able to earn our maximum points for the day and then get the points for the code on top of that.  This time, the code points are going against our daily maximum.  So all I really gained was 200 points, not 500.  I assume this is the way it will be from now on.

                Can You, AARP, please simply be honest with us for once.  I can now earn points, however I am still not able to spend them on Sweeps and Instant Wins, effectively making them useless.  We are now entering week four of this site not fully working... UNLESS... you have eliminated Sweepstakes and Instant Wins.  If so, please simply tell us that.  You are the largest non-profit in the world.  You are able to pay senior executives millions.  Why is it you continue to have the worst website out their and/or the worst communications to your members?

                  Incredibly after being down for almost a whole month, the October extra credit for Social security lesson is not unlocking the gift cards! Wow!

                    This is a normal occurrence, and there are always glitches with the Extra Credit activities at the start of each month.  Hope it gets fixed so that you can redeem your reward.
