Instant Wins Have Disappeared!

Earlier this morning, I played different $25 Instant Win games. Those games have now disappeared from the Sweeps and Instant Wins.

I did not win anything but due to that prompt disappearance, I wonder if I could have won anything at all and that maybe it was all a sham. Will I be reimbursed for those points? I suspect it was another error from AARP Rewards and probably could never give out any gift card at all no matter my luck!

    I saw them too.  I tried a $25 Amazon.  Didn’t win of course.  The group of instant wins were not there when I looked again.  Just disappeared.

    I also played the "extra"  $25 Instant Win games (7 total) before they disappeared and did not win any of them.  I wonder if I can get the 350 points returned, since those extra games have been removed and appears to be posted in error.

    I can understand your concern, @a170938b. I've sent you a private message to take a look into this. Thank you. - Diana G.

    @AARPConsumerCare  I entered the 2 Walmart, 2 Amazon, and 1 Lowes $25 Instant Wins this morning.  So did my husband.  Where did they go?  We also didn't win.

    📎@AARPConsumerCare , NO pressure to respond but I have often wondered IF you guys [AARP] buy the GIFTCARDS OR ARE THEY DONATED? Secondly, it would really be AWESOME if there were more FOR POINTS cards us Retirees on a "limited income" could use. Thank you for all that you do. I know you work for AARP & have to do what they tell you to do = this is NOT a rant. Just my 1/2 cent as usual. HAPPY 4th when it gets here EVERYONE!!!

    I've bought and used the Princess cruise gift card.  They are real and I've used them on board.  Unfortunately, I do not see them on the site anymore.  Only Celebrity and other cruises are available. very disappointed.

    Hello, @a170938b. The Instant Win games you played were inadvertently available for a short time. These were valid Instant Win games, and if you played and won, you would have been notified immediately about your winning status. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. - Daniela R.

    So, now that the Labor Day through mid-september Maintenance is done, and the AARP rewards site is up again, I can't find any Daily Instant Win Games. They appear to have discontinued? Any info on this?

    Thank you! I never would have found that post or that page. I see @teri says "We are working to bring them back to the program as soon as possible."
