2wheelin Posted February 4, 2019 #2826 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Ordered mine 1/26. No word from UPS so called AARP on 1/28–not shipped yet. Called again 1/31 and was given a UPS tracking number. Their site only says shipped 1/29. Still says that today 2/4 with no delivery info. Have now missed ability to use for final payment. Really liked the e-cards.

Organized Chaos Posted March 26, 2019 #2828 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Since there's been a few separate AARP threads popping up lately, I just thought I'd bump the big dog up to the top to let everyone know that they currently have e-cards available for the $100 denomination. They've been MIA for a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, we might try to take advantage of this. We booked about a week ago and didn't plan ahead to get gift cards for the deposit, so we were disappointed not to be able to apply the discount. If they allow this, we can fix that.

My PVP said we could get a payment cancellation and pay with a different form of payment as long as it’s before final payment with the exemption of the deposit. We recently had an amex payment refunded and applied for the carnival cc to get the cash back offer and points. PVP did the refund in less than 2 minutes.

TMS MT Posted March 27, 2019 #2838 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I also ordered a couple e-gift cards yesterday and got the confirmation email but no gift cards yet. Nothing in my junk folder. I will likely call them if it doesn't show by the time the credit card charge changes from pending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bostwick girl Posted March 27, 2019 #2841 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I bought 3 $100 ecards yesterday, got them in just a few minutes, applied them right away. I looked this morning out of curiosity and the $500 ecards are apparently sold out, but there are still $100 ecards left. I'm glad they brought them back, and hope they continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostwick girl Posted March 27, 2019 #2842 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I don't know if there's a limit, but their system will let you know. As fast a they're going, if I were you, I'd get as many as are allowed while they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally do it all myself also as I do the research anyway but this time required I use that TA because of point usage. It would also have been a couple days after final pmt (I booked just before final pmt and don't cruise often enough to have cards on hand) so that may have been the reason. Just wish ecards had been available at the time. Got enough to use onboard and for excursions though so some savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted March 27, 2019 #2848 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I'm showing both the $100 and $500 e-cards in stock. 12 hours ago, Fatcat604 said: Any limit on the amount of gc ? I don't think so, but I'm not absolutely certain. I know people have bought a large amount (dollar wise). If there is a limit, I'm sure it'll tell you during the order process. 4 hours ago, DebbieMo said: My PVP said we could get a payment cancellation and pay with a different form of payment as long as it’s before final payment with the exemption of the deposit. Well, that makes our decision for us. We booked & paid the deposit without any gift cards, so when another user said we could change the payment method, we thought about doing it with the deposit. But if it doesn't apply with the deposit, we don't need to worry about it. 4 hours ago, DebbieMo said: Mine came right after the transaction was complete. I’ve seen people say that they didn’t get theirs right away but they paid debit. I paid credit and it was instant. I've always bought my e-cards with my debit and they came right away. I don't think that's why. For anyone who still hasn't received theirs yet, check your spam folder first. Otherwise, call AARP. My guess is they'll tell you to wait at least 24 hours. I'm not speaking from experience, just have a feeling they're going to say wait a little longer. I hope I'm wrong, good luck.

You'll earn points for signing up. You can also sign up to receive email newsletters and some of those will give you a promo code to enter on the RFG website for 150 points each. Once you are logged in, click on "Earn Points" near the top. There you can take short quizzes to earn more points (up to 5,000 pts./day). When you're ready to purchase the gift cards, click on "Redeem My Points." Then go to "Gift Cards - Travel" to see the Carnival cards. You cash in 1,000 points for 10% off every $100 card you buy or 5,000 points for each $500 card. Making them $90 and $450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
