    Yep, and apparently they don't care enough to get this fixed, even though tons of people have been writing in here.

    I received a private message from one of your colleagues asking for that information, but there was no way to respond -- no reply button, no nothing.  Typical IT fail for AARP.  So I finally called in yesterday, gave my info, and was told that it would be escalated.  But given that so many of us are having the identical problem, why would AARP be troubleshooting this one account at a time instead of just fixing the central problem??!  Unbelievable!

    I think we can all understand that not everything works all the time. It's not about not being able to redeem, although that is certainly frustrating, it's about the lack of apparent concern on AARP's part by not addressing it. For an organization that prides itself on hearing the voice of senior citizens, they certainly seem to be dropping the ball on their own website.

    I tried following the instructions to turn on private messages, but I don't have a "Private Messenger" tab. I have not been able to redeem any rewards for over a week now.
