Bookworm1985 Posted February 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Has anyone chosen the option to get the cards mailed to them? I would much rather do the e-card option, but it is not showing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted February 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2018 We specified mailing of the physical cards several times (in addition to using the e-cards). If you're wondering about delivery time, it usually takes 5-7 days, at least that's been our experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Did it once. Took a week to arrive. Since it was $500+ it required a signature. I wasn't home because I work. They delivered it to the closest UPS store which was a pretty convenient pickup for me. But I do prefer the ecards if I can get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookDragon Posted February 15, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I’ve had them mailed before. Like the previous poster said it takes about a week. I worried about the mailing process so I called AARP Rewards and got the UPS tracking number. I stress less when the cards are electronic and will wait until the ecards are available again. If I were to purchase the physical cards again, I would have them shipped to my work where I know I’m there to sign for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseygirl1416 Posted February 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I had my first AARP $100 one mailed a couple of weeks ago and it took exactly 10 days to receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had mail stolen from my mailbox before, so I was worried about that. I wanted to buy $400 worth to cover an excursion I want to take, and that would be a big loss! Sending them to my work is a good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaszdad Posted February 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I ordered AARP cards on Tuesday about 1pm Pacific time and got a your order shipped email this morning. Being on the west coast the snail mail will take a few days but I'm thinking should be here about a week after ordering. As for the shipping them to your work address, I think they will only ship gift cards to the mailing address of the credit card used. I used to have the Verizon $500 cards sent to my office but I think they changed the policy on that. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drazil65 Posted February 15, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I always have them mailed to me, up tp 4 $100 gc at a time (over that and you will need to sign for them). No issues getting them typically within 5-7 days, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Forums No 500.00 right now. If history repeats itself they will be available again both in e-mail and physical form. I am checking daily. Sometimes they don't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free2bMeForever Posted February 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I’ve done both e-cards and mailed. My experience at AARP has been that mailed cards are available more often. They can take about 10 days to arrive and if you buy more than $500 worth, you’ll need to sign for them. Under $500 come in the regular mail. I have not hit a maximum number of cards that can be used on the Carnival site, but haven’t tried to use $2000 worth.

Free2bMeForever Posted February 16, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 16, 2018 By the way, if you buy the cards, AARP includes a promo code for 1000 points. Of course, there is no shipping charge on the e-cards[emoji57] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMD1215 Posted February 16, 2018 #25 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Ordered 5 $100 cards from aarp today. I like the email option, as I get the email immediately. I did a $500 card a few weeks ago. Typing 1 code in is much easier than typing 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
