August redemptions were extraordinarily greasy

I jumped through the hoops multiple times, even received the "no points, you've already completed this activity" message, but they aren't coughing up the Amazon gift cards tonight.  Par for the course...

      I repeatedly answered all 3 Members Only tests, but I was repeatedly unable to redeem them for the Amazon gift card and took a screenshot showing I had taken the 3 tests.

      I also tried to earn points using others and did not even get the points rewarded.

       

      Really disappointing

        dragon53 We'd like to check on your AARP Rewards account. I have sent you a private message, so we can work on this together. - Christy C.

          Yes, and if you look at the number of lessons, there are 5 in total, but two are repeated. And when you look at the lessons, instead of 3, there are a total of 6, the 3 repeated twice, so once you've completed one the first time, it won't allow you to compete the secondd exact one, because it thinks you already completed it. does no one ever test these offline before throwing the switch at midnight,???

              Same for me, showing that I have not completed all activities even though I have.  But I just tried to get the Amazon and was able to redeem.  Also had the same issues with Barnes and Noble, but I was also just able to redeem that one too.

                Thank you for reaching out, @AnneG23816. I'm sorry to hear you had issues with the extra credit activities, I can understand your frustration. For the message you got, "no points, you've already completed this activity", you can refresh the page to confirm if the activity was fully completed the point will show on your transaction history as well.

                 

                The $5 Amazon gift card is currently out of stock, it was a popular item. You can check the other rewards for that activity. - Diana G.

                This reply is very frustrating to see.  Obviously you are not familiar with AARP rewards site and do not look into this issue.  This was an issue for many if not all users between midnight and 1am ET.   People with activities completed were not able to get Amazon card because the website had yet another glitch.   The issue was fixed around 1am it seems and of course the "monthly" extra credit deal quickly sold out.   I think "Monthly" deals should last at least a day.  "Daily" deals at least an hour.

                  Another month and once again, none of the Extra Credit rewards were working.  I jumped through the hoops three times, while receiving the "

                  Sorry, no points this time.

                  You didn't earn any AARP points because you already completed the activity."

                   

                  and on the Extra Credit page, it still showed that the activities were not fulfilled.

                   

                  Par for the course...
