I can't believe the sweepstakes this month.  

Applebees $100 - 250 points for 15 winners

Burger King $100 - 280 points for 15 winners

Chipotle $100 - 350 points for 15 winners

Panera $100 - 400 points for 15 winners

Dominos $100 - 450 points for 15 winners

 

The rest are terrible amount of points too.  I thought last month was bad when they raised it to 200 points and reduced the winners from 20 to 15.  But some of the above have gone up double and still only 15 winners. Some have even less winners and way more points needed.  This is an even bigger cut to the program.

       And I thought they said this year would be better. It's like everything else in this world the price for anything is expensive.

        I noticed the same thing. The point inflation on the sweepstakes is getting worse every month, and the value keeps dropping even as the costs go up. What makes it even more frustrating is that many of us can’t redeem anything at all right now — the system errors out every time. So the rewards are getting more expensive, the odds are getting worse, and the platform isn’t even letting long‑time members use the points we’ve already earned. It’s hard to see how this benefits anyone on the member side.

          good observation.  Add to it the compounded factor of still only being able to earn 7500 points per day, and it would not surprise me if the amount of short videos has been sliced again although I have not checked that possibility out.

            The best advantage of AARP is the discount for auto insurance from Hartford.  The rewards are getting less and less as a reason to be a member.  I removed my auto renew, and will decide at the last minute whether it is worth continuing or not.
