twitzgall Posted August 18, 2017 #26 Share Posted August 18, 2017 AARP has gift cards now. Someone please tell me how long it took to receive the cards by mail? I need mine by the 28th to pay off my cruise. About a week. So you SHOULD get them in time. Worst case, ask for a 3 day or so extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chayed Posted August 18, 2017 #29 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I got in early this morning and bought 2 500's and 1 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted August 18, 2017 #30 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Shows sold out when I looked. Are you accumulating points on either Verizon or Allstate? Verizon had them available early this morning and Allstate almost always has them available for redemption.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums No, if nothing came up then they are currently sold out. You don't have to be a member to accumulate points with either AARP or Allstate. You do however need to be a Verizon wireless member to accumulate points with them, which will be ending in October.

cruise_co Posted October 13, 2017 #33 Share Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) Sorry for bumping an old thread, but does anyone know if AARP changed their gc rules? I am trying to pay our final cruise payment (due 11/1.) I purchased several $500 (email) cards last week. Bought 2 more yesterday. I have one cabin left and I went to purchase 2 more email $500 cards (still saying they are available) and it is saying I have reached my max limit of purchasing 2 cards,even though I have purchased more than 2 in the last couple of weeks. Rewards was down for awhile yesterday, so I was wondering if this is still a glitch or they implemented new max purchase limits. I have googled, read the terms, and cannot find any mention of limits. If I just have to wait a few days to get another email one, that is fine. Otherwise I will order the shipped ones, hoping they get here in time.

They usually have a limit of purchase every 24 hours so just try again later today and it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_co Posted October 13, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 13, 2017 They usually have a limit of purchase every 24 hours so just try again later today and it should be fine. That is what is baffling. It has been almost 36 hours and I am still getting the same error message. I remedied it by having the husband register and do some surveys. Got the GCs I needed and my cruise is now good to go.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chayed Posted October 13, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I now order through Allstate and get me gift cards immediately and don't have to wait because they are always available. I have points left for anyone that needs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cards were going through with money accepted for payment by Carnival, but later turned up to somehow be fraudulent cards. So, the original card issuers (not resell sites) being Allstate, Verizonwireless, and AARP are what is recommended. I'm sure it is hurting the resellers, but...better safe than sorry.

I remedied it by having the husband register and do some surveys. Got the GCs I needed and my cruise is now good to go.:D I have seen variations on the Verizon site, once it was a 2 card limit reset every 2 days, the a 5 card limit reset every 5 days. Hopefully 2 can get 2 more at 48 hrs from when you bought the last 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DebJ14 Posted October 13, 2017 #42 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I bought 3 of the $100 e gift cards on the AARP site last Saturday. I tried to buy one more, but could not put it in the cart. The message said I exceeded the limit of 2. LOL The next day I went back and had no problem buying a $500 card, which we plan to use for onboard expenses. I like the e gift cards so that they are delivered immediately. I turned around and applied each of them to our final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought six $500 e-cards a little over two weeks ago. They were in stock for quite some time before then and I'm pretty sure they've been in stock every since.
