New Format for Instant Win

So, I took a spin and got 3 matching symbols and did not win. Is this just a bit of graphic distraction? It's stupid and irritating, if that's the case.

      I don't think it's even working. 

      After waiting a while for the thing to load, it immediately gave me the usual Sorry message. There was no possibility to play anything. 

      They need to either fix it or return to the usual quicker way to say Sorry you did not win!

      Or did I misunderstand in thinking there was actually a game?

      Still as it often applies to AARP Rewards, I'll just say it: If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

            What a waste of AARP funds!!!

            This is a negative Return On Investment!!!

            There is NO value added!!!

            Give me the old system

            AARP - stop wasting money. You could have put this software expenditure into more $10 Members Only gift cards!!!

              Same thing happened to me.  I assume you have to get three specific symbols (maybe the AARP rewards symbol?) to win.

                Hi @RenateW69623, I can clear that up. To win, you'll need to get the logo that corresponds to the prize. For example, on the $10 Red Lobster Gift Card instant win, you'll have to get 3 red lobsters in a row. - Diana G.

                  everyone seems to like the old way, can we go back to the less confusing instant wins?

                    Who came up with this stupid idea?  It is ridiculously slow.  It used to take about 2 seconds to get the result.  Now it's 10-15 seconds. AND if you navigate away from the page while it's drawing the game, it stops.  So you still have to keep waiting.  Just go back to the previous way, please.

                      Here is the latest 'Official Post' about the new Instant Win Format - from  AARPTeri dated 3-4-24:

                       

                      "Thank you all for your feedback on our new Instant Win games. We are aware that some users are experiencing visual discrepancies for the outcome of the games. We are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

                       

                      In the meantime, rest assured that the message below the game is the official disposition and outcome of the game.

                       

                      Once the discrepancies are addressed, the winning visualizations will be as follows:

                      • For the Slot Machine game, a winning result is three gift card images in a row
                      •  
                      • For the Tile Shuffle game, a winning result is three gift card images in a horizontal row

                      Additional Notes: for the Winning attempts - the three 'winning  images must be the same for the game your playing. For instance - if you're playing for 'Burger King Instant win' but get three Images for Pet Smart you did not win according to AARP.
                       
                      - Slot Machine ( three images - only) machine with lever handle.
                       
                      - Title Shuffle ( first see 9 images) after redemption/ spin ---> 3 horizontal images in a row and it must be corresponding to the game played.

                      😩  If you're flustered by the new Instant Win Format and want to bypass these 'visual game play' - you can try the 'free method of entry/ (no points played)'  of entering these Instant Wins.
                            At the end of each Instant Win entry - at the bottom/ end there is an Official link to the See "Official Rules" ---> if you click - you will see the Official rules ---> 4.  b. will have a hyper-link to enter for free - if you win - there is a simple text ----> Congratulations 👍........but for the most part we all see 'sorry, you didn't win this time, please try again....   😶

                      Not to worry, I have won about two handfuls of Instant Wins over my three years here - the last April 2023 and a few Sweepstakes - and so it rolls..... 

                       

                      😎   I can't thank you enough for all the Kudos you have given out to all of us - it's a nice little pat on the back for all who post here ✔️   👍....  I  would have liked to give you some Kudos back, but you write a torrential amount  - and I don't know which to choose ? from.

                      Could some from AARP please address why you're forcing is to put up with this slot machine visual when it's obvious that no one wants it?
