I will miss the code hunting/applying and the nostalgia of this thread. I didn't even know that there was an AARP thread!!! I honestly will really miss the people on this thread. I feel like I have known some of you a really long time. So I hope most of you are on the AARP thread! I was having a rough day at work, and then I saw the email from ALLSTATE this morning, and saw I had a bunch of alerts from Cruise Critic, so I was a bit sad! Not sure what I will do with all my points. Maybe one of us will hit a sweepstakes win and tell the rest of us all about it!! Just last night my husband and I went up on AARP and paid for our November cruise and took out enough for CHEERS. When on a 9 day cruise, you forget that CHEERS is almost as much as the cruise! Take care everyone! Come and tell us what sweepstakes you are entering, and we can all hope for that "Fire Sale"!! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted August 1, 2023 #5829 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Isn't there a limit on the AARP cards? Like 2 a month or something? Do they have all cards up to $1,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crucero Posted August 1, 2023 #5832 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I have over a million points. I am ordering all the free paper magazines I can get and will donate them to the elementary school across from me so they can use them for art projects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy 25 cards a month? that's not much of a limit. I don't think I've ever bought that many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organized Chaos Posted August 1, 2023 #5838 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Yep, we saw this coming. Things have been going downhill for a while now. @canes20 Click on the thumbnail image for each sweepstakes and it should let you enter. Over 900K points down the toilet. Looks like I'll be entering sweepstakes like a madman. I like @travelingtink's idea...maybe they'll have a going-out-of-business sale. Once upon a time, there was an AARP thread that was just as active as this one, but when AARP revamped their rewards program to be members only, that thread died. Would anyone be interested in keeping this thread going? It's so massive, I'll bet it's the longest running active thread on the Carnival boards. For that reason, I'd hate to lose it. @helene109 is this thread's creator and I think she's still around. We (she) could ask the moderators to change the thread title to become AARP. It's been done before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted August 1, 2023 #5839 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I tried posting, but for some reason it says it has to be approved first. Would anyone be interested in keeping this thread? It's so massive, I think it's the biggest active thread on the Carnival boards. I'd hate to lose that. After all, we've used it to talk about AARP, too. I think the thread creator @helene109 still comes around once in a while.

We've been purchasing discounted gift cards from AARP for the last 3-4 years at least..maybe longer..pretty sure we got them before the pandemic. We did hook into Allstate also...I liked them because they offered $1000 cards which AARP is not currently. We've saved hundreds...maybe thousands...using the cards for a number of cruise balances...sign and sail accounts...funded CHEERs a handful of times..etc.....Sure hope AARP can handle the the onslaught of "new comers"!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organized Chaos Posted August 1, 2023 #5845 Share Posted August 1, 2023 @LauraS @Host Kat Not sure who to contact. Could we please have the title of this thread changed to AARP Carnival gift cards, because the Allstate program is ending later this year. We'd like to keep this thread going since it's so big, has been active for 6 1/2 years, and contains so much useful content. We've also been using it as the unoffical AARP thread for some time now. We love our little corner of the Carnival boards. 😄 Someone made an AARP thread a couple weeks ago here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2951542-aarp-carnival-gift-cards/ That smaller thread could be merged into this one if you'd like. User helene109 above is this thread's original author. Thank you very much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully everything will be okay with the current flow of gift cards at AARP. I think things will be fine, as Allstate hasn't been very viable for several months now and I haven't seen any supply issues at AARP for Carnival cards.
