Sad to say goodbye to you all!  It's been a fun five year ride.

Guess I'll have to figure out which sweepstakes to pile my 796K points into.

Hmmm.  As you have over double the points as I do, let me know which sweepstakes you enter. I'll pick a different one.

I wonder what feedback from what members they took into consideration? 602721 up in smoke

My take is that they completely slashed the program in an attempt to increase profits, and the result was members stopped using it, resulting in the program no longer being financially viable.

[MeganGC1983]

Ugh! Not happy about this. 

[Galatz]

I cannot imagine what feedback they received. I dont enjoy getting discounts, please stop making feel like I can get stuff cheaper, I want to pay full price!

945K for me.  Oh well, it was fun.  

[Eli_6]

Guess yall heard. Just got the email. 

[cmukid87]

About 400k points going away.  I knew I'd never use them all obviously.  I do have a non-aarp discount site if anyone wants a referral.

Funny, that is exactly what I said on the AARP thread 😉. Allstate was a good run but the writing on the wall has been around for quite some time. I have about 680k points. Currently unable to log in and use any points.

Okay gang, time to pack up and head over to the AARP thread. I will miss the code hunting/applying and the nostalgia of this thread.

There are deals to be had. If you have Capital one quicksilver they have a 23 dollar off deal now and BofA has has 8 dollars off recently also.

I tried Firefox today from both phone and pc, neither worked. So frustrating. My bank said it's definitely on AARPs side as they don't even see any attempts come through. I'll keep trying.

i had that problem only when using capital one quicksilver card.  No other cards gave me that problem. The browser wasn't the issue.  Its something with AARP.  A case was opened but no resolution.  I finally gave up.  Other cards haven't given me any issues

In a bit of irony, Allstate now has the 100 and 500 cards for Carnival but only at 8 percent off plus $1.75 per card shipping which nets about 6 percent savings on physical cards.

Just to clarify, the $500 cards have $5 shipping, so that nets a 7% savings.

I’m going to hold on to my points for now, maybe there will be a “fire sale” to offload the remaining gift cards?

Correct I was going on the 100 dollar ones which saves 6.25 percent overall.
