Has anyone else noticed that the Instant Wins now take 75 points? Used to be 50; not sure when it changed. Also, ads before the games changed from 15 seconds to 30 seconds. I guess inflation is everywhere!

Is this the "security issue" that caused all our older cards' links not to work?I was embarrassed the other day taking an older card I'd printed in to Penney's only to find no balance.  I had NOT used it.  Then there is an empty balance on one of my Cinemark cards which I had NOT used.   I had customer service resend two Cinemarks I'd gotten in the past.  One has an empty balance and the other came as "Thanks for donating your points".This is very upsetting.  I requested an explanation some time ago about why our links have been invalidated.I got no explanation.Have hackers taken the rewards?

So, after two "maintenance" sessions, I still cannot redeem rewards points.  After reading member's posts on AARP Community, it is clear that AARP does not care. I am trying a new tactic - contacting Markel directly.  They are the administrator of AARP Rewards.  Contact Us | Markel  Maybe if we ALL contact them every single day the rewards program will finally be fixed????

I remember this one especially well, Forum Post by someone who doesn't usually post.  Amazon $10 16K Points and Open To All on a Wednesday Afternoon. Was that the last $10 Offer?

 Has the  number of sweepstakes winners changed? I don't see a number of how many can win on each  sweepstakes. Is it just one winner per sweepstakes?
