Yes, it is a member only offer.

Thank you

I just checked- all gone

I'm not sure what is going on with the posters here.  These daily AARP deals are not live until noon Eastern time.  My AARP website indicates that is when these Carnival gift cards will go on sale severa hours from now.  And you can only buy one of these super discounted $100 cards, so no reason to get over excited.

They were "live" for me at around 5:30 AM Central time. I was able to buy one, and they are still showing up on the AARP Rewards website (although it won't let me buy any more.)

I just got one. EST here.

I just got one! EST here as well.

Thank you so much for posting this! It made my day! We were each able to purchase 1, so 2 for our household. Really appreciate the heads up! EST here.

My apologies to the original poster.  I did manage to get one of these just now.  And my wife, too, on her account.  🙂   Thank you.

And there will be some bummed folks who look for discounted Carnival cards all the time when they find out that AARP put these on sale early.  Unless there will be another 200 that go on sale later today.

I most certainly already grabbed one. It is odd, it shows it as "the daily deal" that is going to occur at noon but if you go to the Gift Card section is shows at the Black Friday daily deal and you can buy it now.

Gosh darn it, I don't know why I didn't think to grab with my spouses account too. Oh well, at least I got one.

I also tried to buy one with my sister-in-law's AARP account, but because of the delay induced by my original brain f*rt AARP had sold out all of the 200 cards . . . .

My husband never created an account for himself so I did this morning and got one for each of us. Thats a pretty good deal!

[sprint180]

Here I got all excited, then realized I don't need any.   You all enjoy!

[BlasianGrl]

So bummed I missed it.  I took their sale time of 12 Noon EST literally and just logged on to purchase and saw they were all sold out.

The daily deal definitely said Carnival up until noon. At noon EST, I was ready to buy and the deal changed from Carnival to Celebrity.  If someone was not paying close attention, they may have purchased Celebrity GC's thinking that they were purchasing Carnival.

That must've been a glitch in the matrix that the Carnival cards were even offered, then.

So....those that snagged one before 12 noon, was it @ 70.00 or 90.00?   The Celebrity card changed after 12 Noon.   Went back in after clearing cache and got 2 of the Celebrity cards for the wife and I.  Can only use them with initial reservation, but still saved 60.00, so all is good.

The AARP community forum indicated that last week that there would be a Carnival deal today.  So who knows.

 

The Celebrity cards (unlike the Carnival cards) have significant restrictions on their use.  Its possible this Celebrity deal wont even sell out.
