impossible to win instant awards

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...

why can 18 year olds and non members enter sw

This is a cut back in rewards these $100 ones. They are only giving 10 or 15 of these which is less then 200 rewards at $10. It used to be super rewards were giving 400 of the $10 instant wins so many people could win. Winning now is few and far between.

Have NOT "played" any Instants as yet today.

Going to "try" my luck at 2:30pm ET today (in a few minutes). This was one of the times a member posted on this thread as the time they WON.

Other times posted on this thread.

ALL EASTERN TIMES.

➡️[*** 3am, 3:30am, 11am, 8:10pm.

There are more times I am sure posted in the 7 pages of this thread. Lol, still "reading" through them as I have the time.

GOOD luck today/tonight everyone. 🤞

Please let us know IF you win. 😉

Played ONLY Lowe's, AutoZone, Burger King & Kohl's.

Used the "free" option.

Hope someone wins something today/tonight.

Here are ALL the "times" posters won an Instant on this thread.

ALL EASTERN TIMES.

➡️[*** 12am, 12:30am, 1:30am, 3am, 3:02am, 3:30am, 6am, 11am, 2:30pm, 8:10pm, 9pm.

One person suggested spreading the 7 out = some in morning, more in evening, rest at night. He has won using this. I will try that tomorrow although I only play what I can use.

Won two days ago (Brinker) and again today (Autozone). Very unusual though. I've won 13 so far this year though. I play every day and mostly around 12-1AM EST.

Could NOT "play" the Amazon $100 Instant "free entry" as link is missing to do so. AARP Teri @AARPTeri , please help - thanks.
