Curious ?INSTANT WINS ENDING?

Hello 👋Happy Monday everyone

 

I'm curious 🤔 if others are seeing what I'm seeing? 

3 Instant Wins (Macy's/ Old Navy/ Land's End) have January 17th as 'Must Enter by date' when they should be 17th/18th/19th 

I've read many posts about 'Free Entry Method' not being available which is weird & timing makes me even more curious 

 

Does anyone besides me see these 3 having same end date? Wonder if they are ending Instant Wins? 

Are oh no oh no are we in for another system update?  

Yes I'm lucky to win 1 time a year but hate to see them end🙄 & gosh I dread the thought of another update 😵‍💫

Appreciate any info & thoughts

Have a beautiful blessed week

    Also

    Just realized these 3 Instant Wins are for 250 winners vs usual 125 winners 

    Possible that's causing issues? 

    Still curious & wondering

    I also noticed that this morning.  I think the missing links in the free entry method are just incompetence by whoever is updating the list, since when someone complains about the links being missing, they are put back, but then some more are deleted when a new IW link is added.  But regarding the IW date of 1/17, the sweepstakes also all end on 1/17.  In the past, when sweepstakes ended in the middle of the month, there were new sweepstakes added the next day and those went until the end of the month.  But this doesn't make sense for the IW, since those usually go for 7 days.  And if a new IW is added on 1/17 and ends on 1/17, then that means all of the prizes will be awarded in one day.  I always thought the prizes were spread out over all the days the IW was available, but maybe even with the other ones, the prizes are all awarded in one day and then the rest of the days are just wasted points for whoever is playing. In any case, it will be interesting to see what happens on 1/18.

    Just seeing the daily newsletter with ads on the top of it that already expired so who is paying any attention at AARP about anything anymore?  Tried to cut and paste but page is not letting me ad them

    Anyone notice that today's newsletter included a whole section of expired offers right as you start scrolling at the top? What is the purpose of telling us about expired offers? I can see them telling you about what is coming this week but why tempt us with the stuff that is already gone?

    Today's newsletter says the system will be down Friday to Monday, maybe that's why.

    I would guess it has to do with them doing maintenance????

    Site appears to be back up this evening after the maintenance window, but no Instant Win contests are listed. I filtered for Sweeps and Instant Wins, and the only results were 7 new sweepstakes for the second half of January.
