ready2cruzagain Posted May 3, 2016 #1326 Share Posted May 3, 2016 So far from what I've seen they show sold out before they actually pop up as available. Keep checking , its all you can do I agree, that is why I posted that they just showed up as sold out. Typically they show sold out first, then they become available later.

Typically they show sold out first, then they become available later. They were available this morning around 5 am because someone posted it on another site. By 6am they were sold out. I think they will be available again soon. And hopefully the $100 cards too. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritkat090909 Posted May 5, 2016 #1328 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I see that the aarp website is showing $500 Carnival Gift Cards...showing sold out. Maybe they will be available soon because they weren't there earlier. Good call! This morning they were showing $500 card available, but it showed sold out when you tried to check out. I didn't give up and was able to purchase my max allotment (& can't afford to try again tomorrow!)... just now. So, to my cruise critic friends...GO GET EM!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyart Posted May 5, 2016 #1332 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just snagged a $500 card at AARP. Get one while you can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeRB Posted May 5, 2016 #1333 Share Posted May 5, 2016 $500 available right now. The $500's are showing as available on Verizon Rewards also; but I don't even see the $100's listed, that's kinda strange.:confused: I just had to look to see if I could successfully resist buying this time, and I did for once:). The three cruises I have booked thru next March are all RCL & Princess; and I have over $600 in cards now:o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetwocruz2009 Posted May 5, 2016 #1334 Share Posted May 5, 2016 For the AARP $500 cards, how soon did you receive them via UPS? A week or so? Do I need to have someone at home to sign for them? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeRB Posted May 5, 2016 #1335 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) For the AARP $500 cards, how soon did you receive them via UPS? A week or so? Do I need to have someone at home to sign for them? Thanks in advance. Usually in about a week. Some times the cruise gods smile on you and they come in 5 days, but don't count on it. I have got the cards both ways UPS and snail mail, I think it has to do with the amount purchased. I ordered 3 $100's last year and they came snail mail.

Thanks in advance. Every time I have received the $500 cards they have come via UPS and someone had to be here to sign for them. I have ordered less than $500 a couple times and they have always shown up in snail mail and I didn't need to sign for them. Any more when I order, I always order a $500 and then check them on the Carnival website to make sure they are good. It has never happened to me; but I have seen some posting saying others had gotten cards that were not any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. Ordered a $500 card and $100 card on 4/28/2016. Received an e-mail the next day that said I needed to call and confirm my order within 72 hours or it would be cancelled. (My first order ever with them) I called and confirmed. They shipped them via UPS on 5/2/16 from Middleburg Heights, OH and I received them in Memphis, TN area on 5/4/16. Signature was required for delivery. Applied them to by balance on carnival.com last night and they worked fine in that regard.

lazyart Posted May 5, 2016 #1339 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I ordered 5 $100 cards on 4/20. The next day I got a call to confirm the purchase and they arrived via UPS on 4/28, signature required. Funny thing is, 4/28 was the day my Carnival Casino Offer was to expire, and no one would be home. I created a UPS account and had them hold the package for me at the depot since I was going to be near it in my travels that day. Sure enough the cards were waiting for me, and I booked my cruise later that evening. I figure today's purchase will show up next Friday or Saturday. For the AARP $500 cards, how soon did you receive them via UPS? A week or so? Do I need to have someone at home to sign for them? Thanks in advance.

If you live in a neighborhood where there is no theft then you can set up a UPS account and sign for them online and they will leave them where you instruct to to...on porch, etc. Also, if you set up a UPS account you can have them hold them and you can pick them up.

tidecat Posted May 5, 2016 #1342 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I just got the $100 gift card I ordered last week today, called Priceline, and had it applied to my cruise. Phone call was pretty quick, even though I spent most of it on hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This neighborhood is about as crime free as it gets. There are only 5 houses on this dead end country road and we all know each other, so a stranger sticks out like a sore thumb. If you are talking about the ‘UPS My Choice’ account; I looked into that last year when I was trying to get a package rerouted to my neighbor’s house because I was going to be out of town. It may work for others; but after reading the entire customer/user agreement and all the other agreements that are incorporated into it “by reference” I came to the conclusion that there were some things there I didn’t agree with; and as a result, I didn’t open a UPS account. I am retired; so I am normally here when a package is scheduled for delivery anyway. If I am not here for some reason; I can call and make arrangements to pick it up, once they have a failed delivery attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilMissScareAll Posted May 6, 2016 #1347 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Picked up another $100. I don't even have a cruise booked... guess all these gcs that I keep stockpiling means I'll need to book one soon.
