They don't need to track my location for me to buy a gift card. I'll just wait for the site. Save some cards for me. 😉 Nope. I don't need them right now, just trying to help others, just in case.

It just triggers my mobile browser chrome which currently is not working either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It forces us to enable GPS tracking just to be able to do anything on the app. Yeah, it needs to be enabled for Drivewise, but we shouldn't be forced to enable it just to login and enter a code or buy a card. There's a lot of apps out there like that. They want access to certain data that isn't necessary for a particular function. They're just data mining. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. Hmm, I wonder if AARP has anything to do with this. I can see them now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try to enter codes or shop it just triggers my mobile browser. I checked the permissions and it only uses location (for obvious reasons) and storage ( I think to just keep the mapping that I can reference.) No access to contacts or phone or microphone or camera. I just turn it on when I want to get some points and mostly leave it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I try to enter codes or shop it just triggers my mobile browser. I wanted to test to see if it'd let me login, so I reinstalled the app...for science. I have iPhone and they've completely changed it since the last time I had it installed. I used to be able to enter promo codes and view/purchase the gift cards directly from the app. Now it redirects to the mobile browser, just as yours does. But I can't do anything until I enable Location Services (GPS tracking on iPhones). And it forces us to set it to "Always" instead of "While Using the App." I forgot it did that...another big reason I don't like it. To top it off, there's no way to logout of the app once logged in. The only way is to uninstall it. Wow, they've neutered their app. I mean, I didn't like it before but at least they allowed users to enter codes and buy cards with it. Incidentally, I tried logging in to rewards from Safari and that's a no go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted January 14, 2020 #1881 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) My app is on a Samsung galaxy S5. Here are a couple screenshots to show you what I can do(not much).

1GaPeach Posted January 14, 2020 #1888 Share Posted January 14, 2020 OC or other seasoned purchasers.... When shipped via USPS and/or UPS does the transaction history change. I purchased 2 $500 cards last Friday. Credit Card has been charged. Status is "Pending" and Tracking is "Not available" If UPS, I assume tracking would change and I would get a notice via UPS as well since I got that app but I wasn't sure about USPS. Any words of wisdom? For USPS, I know it is still early to expect delivery from Friday afternoon but just trying to gauge things as a first time purchaser.

thenexus2k Posted January 14, 2020 #1889 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1GaPeach, I can only offer my current experience. I ordered 2 $500 cards last Wednesday. My CC was charged that day. I have been checking the last several days and the status always said "pending". Just a minute ago, I checked and the status had finally changed to shipped: 1/14/20 (today), but there is still no tracking information available. I am guessing that may become available later today when it actually leaves the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PrincessArlena'sDad Posted January 14, 2020 #1892 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Anyone else ever have this issue? I have two carnival gift cards in my cart, and I'm trying to check out.

Rare Saint Greg Posted January 14, 2020 #1893 Share Posted January 14, 2020 It’s ridiculous how quickly cards are selling out now. Thanks to @zorky12’s post I was able to get in on it early today. I should be good for a few months now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any words of wisdom? For USPS, I know it is still early to expect delivery from Friday afternoon but just trying to gauge things as a first time purchaser. Since you ordered $1,000, they should be coming UPS. There's been a couple reports where that wasn't the case, but a vast majority of the time, anything over $500 ships UPS and needs a signature. The processing time at the fulfillment center seems to determine how long it takes for them to get to you. When I order over $500 and they come UPS, they typically come in 3 or 7 days. That's just what I've experienced. The difference being, sometimes the facility processes them immediately, sometimes it takes the a few days. When it takes a few days, my cards take a week to get here. I don't know why they manage to process some orders faster than others. Maybe demand at that time? What you're seeing is normal, they just haven't processed it yet. In all likelihood, you'll get 'em this week. I haven't ordered cards that came USPS in a long time. Even with them, they typically arrive in a week, give or take. I wish USPS had a system similar to UPS MyChoice. Or at least I don't think they do.

Wow. Glad I got them when I did. I need $2200 by my PIF date (end of April) and $1800 more for grats + onboard expenses + excursions. Looks like I'm going to have to be proactive in hunting these down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellaleah Posted January 14, 2020 #1900 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Has anyone used their Executive member cc from big box club store? I am curious if you would get the 3% rebate instead of 1% because it is travel. I’m thinking that it is invoiced as a purchase from Allstate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
