I took advantage of the same offer last week. The fine print said that the bonus points will post to your account in 6-8 weeks. So I'll be watching for them around Christmas...

There is a link in that email to see your "Rewards Activity". That link will take you to Barclay's site where you will need to log in to see your rewards activity. There will be another link on that page to view your Digital Gift Card. Hopefully that helps...

Give it 24 hours before worrying... It took a little bit for me to get my gift card when buying them from a brand new AARP account. I ordered it at 9:30am one day last week and it showed up in my email the next morning around 3am. They must take a bit longer to process when the account is just opened.

It finally showed up in my email at 3am this morning. So, it took 17 hours to process this one... I will chalk it up to the fact that I joined AARP, then the rewards program and bought a gift card all at the same time yesterday morning. Probably just needed extra processing time for a new account. Thanks everyone!

Thank you for the responses. I checked my spam folder and nothing there.. I chatted with them online and got the canned response that it takes up to 24 hours to receive the GC. They do see the order in their system, so that's promising, I guess... Maybe this one is taking longer because I just joined AARP this morning and signed up for the REWARDS a couple minutes before I placed the order. I'll give them the 24 hours before I make contact again.

What is the typical turn around time for the AARP e-gift cards? I placed my first order a few hours ago for a Carnival GC and haven't received so much as a confirmation of the order. The order shows in my transaction history on AARP Rewards and my credit card was charged quickly.... I usually had the Allstate E-GC within a few minutes of ordering and always received an order confirmation. Just hoping the website didn't glitch, because it sat on the processing screen for longer than I liked.

AARP is currently running a flash sale for $9 per year if you sign up for 5 years, so $45 for a 5 year membership. Saw it in my FB feed this morning.

Just curious... Why wouldn't you just take your rental car to the port and return it there? You could skip the Carnival airport shuttle and save some money. Returning a car around Port Canaveral is a piece of cake and then they have a free shuttle to take you over to the ship. This is what we do when we sail from Port Canaveral.

Yes, but that doesn't affect the cruise ships. All the cruise ships that port at Canaveral have less than a 30' draft.

Port Canaveral is now open to cruise traffic. The Disney Wish and Carnival Liberty just pulled into port.
