Rewards site partially back up (supposedly)

The website is still incredibly sluggish (for me), so I don't know if they're telling the truth about that.  What I do know is that they are giving us 500 measly points for all we've been though AND in classic AARP fashion, the code to get the measly 500 points DOESN'T EVEN WORK!  Well done as always, AARP, your respect for the folks who pay your salaries in second to none.

    Does it really surprise anyone that their promo code is not recognized by their system?  lol

    Agree about the measly points, but the promo code did work for me. Maybe the system was slammed when you tried, so maybe try again now.

    Nope, just tried again, still getting the "We don't recognize that code" message.  Sigh.

    I want to be sure you are not including any quotes but strictly typing MAKEGOOD in the promo box, can you confirm?

    What would you have liked to have been done?  Just curious what you think they should give.

    Considering that I can earn 600 points in about two minutes when the website is working properly, I'd say that 500 is insulting.  I'd say nothing less than the one-day max (7,500) and preferably more.

    Ok.  Sounds good.  Try asking them.  Case by case basis might work.  If I can obtain the offer I will, but not worth my time to ask for more.  But for others it might.  Never hurts to try.

    The code worked for me.  Did you get the pop-up box to enter it?

    Thanks, yeah I'd gotten the box but it still didn't work.  However, by this morning it was working, so it's all good (except for the insultingly small number of points).
