As others have mentioned earlier, you can always sign up for the free UPS service which allows you to change your delivery address to the local UPS Store. 

The only problem with this is that the company that sends the cards out never emails a tracking number.  According to the AARP community forum people that will change under the new program.

I ordered 5 $500 cards this morning and had a slight problem getting things to work correctly but then remembered that someone else mentioned only ordering two cards at a time.  I placed three orders, two with two cards and the third with one.  Went quite smoothly after I changed the quantity per order.

That was it.  Only 2 at a time.  Thanks!

Can we use the gift cards to pay for excursions or the alcohol package? Apparently I have over 6500 points not sure how...

Yes, you can.

Thank you! I am paying for the cruise- DH has to pay for the alcohol package since we will be partying with his softball buddies

I got an email this week saying we have until the end of September to use our points. I used 10k of my 35k. Took six days to get the gift cards in the mail.

For those that said they can't find anything online about it, it's on the main banner/header of the current Rewards site.  A click on that banner brings you to the same page that was posted in the link above.
I guess what I don't see though is anything that says in what way the program is changing that would impact the ability to purchase the cards in the future.  Hopefully it's just a different earning process or redemption scale with the same items in the catalog!

Successfully sent through two orders of $100 cards tonight, 3 in each.  Hopefully, they won't combine the orders and require a signature...

Ordered a 500 gift card and received in the mail on Friday. My husband had to sign for it.
