That's one I maxed out my entries (6000) for the month. I maxed out the $1500 Count On Cash sweeps, too, but no luck. Goes to show that doesn't always pay out. I'll trade you my $25 Uber card. 😉 $100, only put in 1800 entries. I did put in some other ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple this month I've been concentrating on, but I think I'll spread 'em out a little more. The ones that allow up to 10k pts. a day really chew through my balance.

Organized Chaos Posted October 12, 2023 #6128 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I just realized last night that Allstate was running daily deals this week. Today's deal, a $5 BP gift card for 500 points. Not much, but I can spare 500 pts. for a gallon of gas. Starts at 3pm EST, link on the homepage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could try right when it hits 3 pm, and they are already gone. It is apparently a lot like scoring Taylor Swift concert tix!! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organized Chaos Posted October 12, 2023 #6131 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) This is insane. When it hit 3:00, the shopping cart button wouldn't appear, so I refreshed the page. That logged me out and by the time I logged back in, they were gone. Then as I was watching it, it flashed, said they were available, and the shopping cart button came back. I clicked on it in a split second and it said they were out. I didn't get one. Edited to add: It did it again...and again I missed. I give up, not worth it. I had no idea they were like that.

I am so sorry you had to go through all of that! It is crazy. I have really given up trying for those.

Rare travelingtink Posted October 13, 2023 #6134 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Did anyone notice that you get a daily entry into the Target gift card sweeps? It caught my eye because that was not one I had put points into but noticed I had entries. Read the fine print and found that they give an entry for daily logins.

I entered hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tickets in the past month and a half and got squat. Watch me win one I don't want with less than 10 entries.

You get what you pay for. I don't want it either, but I'm curious if they charge shipping for points items like that. I imagine so. I've previously gotten a couple points only items and was never charged a shipping fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruizinSusan70 Posted October 15, 2023 #6140 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Unbelievable. Won a $10.00 Amazon gift card on the scratch off game. Have parlayed well over 700,000 points to no avail and have about 150,000 left to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n6uqqq Posted October 15, 2023 #6142 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Well I have blown all my points (that I can) like a sailor on the cheers program. I don't know how but I have one random point left 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought cashing in hundreds of thousands of points was supposed to increase our chances of winning. I've blown through over 900k points with nothing to show for it. Still have around 20k left. Instead of maxing out entries on a couple sweeps, I'm spreading them out more and will see how that goes. I won't hold my breath. 11 hours ago, cruisernh said: I don't even have the option for the little trinket or the plaid bag. Yeah, they're only up for 2-3 days. I've seen the touch-free gadget twice and the tote bag once, but haven't seen either one for a week or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calnev1 Posted October 17, 2023 #6145 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) As you all know, AARP offers many discounted gift cards other than cruise line cards. I just noticed that AARP is now selling Instacart gift cards. My daughter and her husband work long hours, and they use Instacart a lot, so i am getting these cards for them. Also, oddly, there is now a discounted gift card for a place called "San Luis Resort." Never heard of it, so I Googled it. Apparently, it is on Galveston Island. Perhaps a place to stay before or after your Carnival cruise out of Galveston? Edited October 17, 2023 by Calnev1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted October 17, 2023 #6146 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The Allstate wheel got rid of the second X (not that it helps me) and added a $50 and $100 gift card. They're teasing us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the wheel has been kinder to me than the sweepstakes ever have. I got a $25 Uber card a few weeks ago. We don't have Uber (small town life) so the only chance I'd have to use it is on a vacation, and I don't know when that'll be, so I may give it away. The "instant win" gift cards on AARP are proving to be just as elusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted October 19, 2023 #6149 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Well, 6+ years and over 900k points later and I ended up with 11 points left. I wonder if they want to buy them back from me for the low low price of $1 per point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted October 25, 2023 #6150 Share Posted October 25, 2023 If you accrue points for AARP, use promo code HAUNTED for 100 points. Go to AARP Rewards, choose Redeem from the drop-down menu, and enter the code. This is from their little jack-o-lantern scavenger hunt. There's 5 of them hidden around the Rewards pages that you can find for exclusive (not so great) prizes. So if the code doesn't work for you, I guess they want you to find the jack-o-lantern first. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
