SNJCruisers Posted March 15, 2017 #26 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So you are solely using rewards points to purchase these gift cards? Not paying out of pocket? No, you use points to save 10%. A 100 card costs 90 plus 1000 points. Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennboy1981 Posted March 15, 2017 #27 Share Posted March 15, 2017 So you are solely using rewards points to purchase these gift cards? Not paying out of pocket? No, the rewards take 10.00 off per 100.00 gift card for 1000 points. So I got 500.00 in gift cards for 450.00 minus 5,000 reward points Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted March 15, 2017 #28 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Great tip - thanks! I am not a customer and I was able to sign up through the Drivewise app and then log in to the Allstate Rewards site from my laptop. Somehow it allowed me to buy 2 $100GCs and then another 5 in the same day. Sooo much easier than stalking the Verizon website. If you are not a customer and thus do not have the big brother drivewise apparatus installed in your vehicle, how do you accumulate points?

Tzutse Posted March 15, 2017 #29 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If you are not a customer and thus do not have the big brother drivewise apparatus installed in your vehicle, how do you accumulate points? I got 5K points just for joining and another 2K for entering in a promo code. That's was enough for 7 $100 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckmommy72 Posted March 15, 2017 #33 Share Posted March 15, 2017 THANK YOU! Just paid for my CHEERS! package using gift cards from Allstate. We're Verizon customers, but I'm having trouble accessing the smart rewards site so haven't been able to get on to even look for gift cards. This was so easy. Got a 5,000 bonus just for signing up and in about 10 minutes had purchased the cards and used them to buy my CHEERS! package. Now I just need April 16th to hurry up and get here!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawnjam1 Posted March 15, 2017 #34 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I am a recently former Allstate Agent and I was unaware that anyone can sign up even if not insured with AS but that is a HUGE plus for me!!! I love it! That is a fairly new program rolled out the last year or two. Works off your GPS. BUT....now you will probably be solicited to purchase....and often!!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using Forums mobile app Since you were an Allstate Agent, can you tell us if this can make a difference in the rate you receive from Allstate?? That is if you use it while you're driving?? I've had Allstate for years and consider myself a good driver....good, not perfect!?! I would hate to save a few $$ on gift cards, just to have my rates go up. Just Curious. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawnjam1 Posted March 16, 2017 #37 Share Posted March 16, 2017 All the program is is a reward program for safe driving. If you earn points it gives you money back for these cards etc or you can apply it to your bill. You can even delete trips on the app if they weren't so "great". It doesnt help your overall rate. But it does give customers a guaranteed 3 percent and I think goes to 6 for good habits. But every little bit counts. Too big brother for me sometimes.

dawnjam1 Posted March 16, 2017 #38 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Quick correction....it allows you to buy the cards etc at a discount or you can apply it to your bill. No cash back technically.

ksmcdonald Posted March 16, 2017 #39 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The $100 eGift Cards and $50 eGift Cards are available right now... I just picked up 10 of the $100 cards the last 2 days! (y) Did you have a problem getting 10, without the site telling you that you've reacher your limit of 5? I bought (5) $100 last evening, but it wouldn't let me buy 5 more. So I waited until this morning and tried again and it still says "You already reached the maximum purchase limit for this item.You can purchase only 5item". Maybe I have to wait 24 hours since my last purchase? I still need $500 more to pay for my Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I got that message but I kept trying from time to time and, magically, it finally let me buy another batch of 5. It took longer than 24 hours, though. maybe 2-3 days.

Not sure what their exact rules are, but my experience was: Bought 5 cards on 3/13. Got the "maximum purchase limit" until 3/15 when I was able to buy another 5 cards. Got the "maximum purchase limit" again until 3/16 when I was able to buy another 5 cards. Now I'm done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovetwocruz2009 Posted March 16, 2017 #44 Share Posted March 16, 2017 For those who purchased the gift cards, are you having them emailed or mailed? If mailed, how long did it take to reach you? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Got 5 x 100 via email. This way there is no shipping charge. Paid 1.77 for 3 to be mailed through AARP (both UPS and USPS) and 2.95 for 5 to be mailed through Verizon (UPS).

Purchase electronically. They will eventually send an email (2 days or so). But you don't really have to wait for the email. If you go into "your account" and click on "orders" you can immediately download the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. last week up purchased 5 - $100 ecards and receive them within 2 minutes. A couple days later I purchased the same amount of cards but had them shipped and it took exactly 7 day from the day I purchased them via ups and had to be signed for. Since then I have purchased a couple more times and always had them emailed each time I had then within 2 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS182 Posted March 16, 2017 #50 Share Posted March 16, 2017 How are you all non-Allstate customers earning points? I used my first 5,000 but need 2,000 more. I watch the videos but nothing changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
