Will do.

You have SOLVED my problem!! thank you! went incognito and just ordered a 100 princess card. (tried a food gift card first) It said confirmation for both. Thanks. you are SO smart. I'll still talk to some tech person at aarp. if and when they email me. Bless you for your kind help. They are already showing up in my email as purchased. I'll do this every time.

Mines a bit different. I can put anything in the cart, put in the credit card #, but as soon as the processing starts it says there is an error, and to call. Glad you finally got yours figured out! I will one day too. I am in the same boat (pardon the pun) that you were in.

Was able to change password. But today I didnt have the 3 letters to type in at first! That is what prompted my call to them. It's been "we'll put in a ticket for you for a higher dept" for about 2 weeks now. Not credit card. Tried using another. My cc is fine. After I called I re entered everything, and finally got the 3 letters to type in. That was weird. Never happened before. And, today I rejoined, just to see if I could buy a card!

Question: If I go on another persons computer, or use a friends aarp membership, if i try to buy gift cards, will it stop me because i use MY credit card? Or the other person wd have to buy them, and I pay him/her back?

Oh gosh, Jimmy. wow. Maybe something like that happened to me. Maybe. I don't have another email address to use. Well, I don't want to start using another one. Glad you finally got it straightened out. One day i'll know! thanks for the reply.

Thanks. It's totally infuriating to me. I never experienced anything like this before. Right now i have no other computer to check on. I can't spend all day on this. But i don't have any problem buying things on other websites. One day I'll know why !! No, I have no family that could try, and it would be too much of a hassle with my friends right now. It is just weird to know that others can buy these cards at a discount, but i can't - and haven't been able to since i tried in late July.

Everyone who is there is a Rewards member. It means AARP members. That is what is implied. You have to be an aarp member to reap most rewards, and most gift cards.

Hi, whoever is reading about my continuing saga with aarp: Well, I rejoined, cleared the cache,did what ever they wanted with the ad blockers, called up twice,and yet again today, and STILL can't buy any Princess gift cards!! I have never experienced such a hard and crazy thing. Nothing is wrong with my card, and I tried a few cards. Again, they say they are "escalating" my case, and I have heard by email, but nothing else yet. It is really infuriating. Right now i have no other computer or device to try on. I hate that i'll lose $ in the future if this keeps being the case! Maybe I can try at the library.

And in posts 283 and 284 it was in question again, whether you had to be a member or not, so i kept trying. Yes, Milolii, what you said could be the case; updating the system. Anyway, I'll probably rejoin and attempt to buy what i want soon. My Princess cruise is in November, another transatlantic.

DeeJay is correct. You have been confused Rick and Jeannie with the cards, and the membership requirements. In May I bought princess cards w/o being a member of aarp. and a few years ago I bought Carnival cards without being a member of aarp. You could always do aarp Rewards for free, but now there is not really anything good there, to me. Unfortunately, in the past 2 weeks they have changed the Princess cards to Members Only. I will have to rejoin AARP. And now, most every card is members only. So, when i rejoin I hope i can buy some cards! The cruise is now paid for; lost a little money because i couldnt buy more cards on my computer, but if i rejoin and try that will be proof that they have fixed my computer problem.

Hi, it's me again, Well, they have been in touch with me, and told me i'd have to be on the computer with them (aarp). but I tried putting food gift cards in my cart and buying them, and amazingly enough, it all went thru! My eyes widened when i saw that happen. It looks like they made the Princess cards members only, so I guess i'll have to rejoin if I want those cards, and others. I'll be joining soon and trying to get a few cards! Thanks for all the thoughtful comments.

Hey, I just logged in under a friends name and email. Princess is coming up as members only no matter what i do, so maybe they are changing it to that. Then i'll have to join.

That is funny, but I really think AARP is worse.

Now it is saying members only. Well! I give up for now. Gotta do other things. Thanks everyone for your thoughts. If they solve it, i'll tell you! But the problem seems to have gotten worse today! Even tried a chat but she was no help at all.
