bermudashorts Posted July 9, 2016 #1527 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just got 2 $500's. How long does it generally take to get the cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Az Posted July 9, 2016 #1528 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just got 2 $500's. How long does it generally take to get the cards? About a week +/-. I have never had them take more than 9 days, and have had them in as few as 5. If you order the $ 500 cards they will be sent UPS "signature required", so keep that in mind. Good luck!

NCTribeFan Posted July 13, 2016 #1531 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well, I just switched my phones from Verizon to AT&T last night, so I guess I'll have to sign up at AARP to continue purchasing gift cards. Probably should've gone online and spent my tens of thousands of points on some sweepstakes just to use them up! Oh well. Too late now. Just hope they didn't cut me off before the two cards I bought the other day shipped. At my advanced age, I suppose I really should join but they insulted me when they started sending me membership info when I turned 40! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be a member of AARP to sign up for "AARP Rewards For Good". Also, if you happen to have Allstate Insurance, you can sign up for Allstate Rewards, which has the same items as AARP Rewards does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidecat Posted July 16, 2016 #1534 Share Posted July 16, 2016 As a non-Carnival AARP side note, Rewards for Good has a $5 Chick-Fil-A gift card for $0 and 500 points as Saturday's Daily Deal, and the same deal for Toys R Us on Sunday. The deals go live at 3:00 PM Eastern Time each day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTribeFan Posted July 20, 2016 #1538 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I finally figured out how to get to the gift cards without joining and just took a couple of quizzes to get my point total over 5k. Now I can order a $500 card (they're currently available). I'm guessing the shipping is like it was with Verizon - $100 cards via USPS, $500 cards via FedEx or UPS w/signature? I'll have it delivered to the office since I'm typically not home during the day. I usually only get multiples of the $100 cards but since I have a large balance due on the Pride Journeys (sailing solo is expensive), I figured I'd get a $500 card to apply to that balance and use the smaller cards I already have to pay off Splendor and take with me for onboard expenses.

NCTribeFan, that is correct. Typically, the first time you order anything over $500, they will contact you to validate the shipping address. Don't miss that email :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 20, 2016 #1540 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I received an email confirmation of the purchase but it just says they'll send an email when it ships. They didn't ask for confirmation of the address. I did check my spam folder just in case there was something there but there wasn't. Thanks for the heads-up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a shipping confirmation then you're good. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 21, 2016 #1542 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Nothing else, yet. I imagine it takes a couple of days to process the order. I'm not in a huge rush. I do wish these places would offer the e-cards! The first couple of times I got them from Verizon, they were electronic and I had them almost immediately. It was so simple. Oh well. I'll deal with paying the tiny amount for shipping/postage and waiting a week or so to get a 10% discount for nothing, really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugaree5335 Posted July 21, 2016 #1543 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I got the shipping confirmation from AARP (or the clearinghouse for their GCs anyway) and got the card two days later. I placed the order on a Saturday and had them by the next Wednesday. Except for the UPS guy screwing up and delivering it to my house rather than my parents it went off without a hitch. Sorry you're having delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 21, 2016 #1544 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Alrighty. I did receive an email this morning asking me to call and confirm the order before they'd ship. Just off the phone and it's good to go. I don't have a problem with any business confirming an order, especially when it's more than a few dollars. Rather have that than have it delivered to the wrong address. I had a Verizon order for a couple of $100 cards get put in a neighbor's mailbox. Thankfully, they brought it over rather than throwing it in the trash! Some people have great mail delivery. I don't. I'm constantly getting other people's mail in my box and worry every time I order cards that come USPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted July 23, 2016 #1545 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So, I ordered the $500 card on Wednesday and even with the need to call and confirm, it shipped yesterday via UPS. I'll post when it arrives to give others who may be new at this an idea of what to expect currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w&k Posted July 24, 2016 #1547 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I've ordered them four times so far. The first time, I ordered 4 100$ cards specifically to avoid the required signature at delivery for $500. Unfortunately, I did it right before I left town, and missed the e-mail asking for confirmation. I was able to have the order reactivated when I returned, and the cards took about a week to show up via USPS. On the rest of the orders, I get an email that they have been sent, and the cards arrive via USPS ~ a week from the time of ordering. I live out in nowhere, north Florida, and we commonly have USPS delivery times that are about 2 days slower than normal. Good luck! Wendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruises42 Posted July 25, 2016 #1548 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Can you use the gift cards to pay off the cruise (calling in payment to Carnival)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted July 25, 2016 #1549 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Yes. If you booked directly through Carnival you can also make the payment online. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeJennyCruise Posted July 25, 2016 #1550 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks to the original OP and those who keep this thread going. I would never have known about the AARP gift cards without this thread. I just ordered my first $500 gift card. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
