fuelerdude Posted June 5, 2015 #26 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Thank you for posting this :D! Kroger often has better offers on cards, but the cards aren't offered in my region (Dillons is the chain Kroger owns in this region). This is going to allow us to have 10% more enjoyment on our cruise:D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted June 5, 2015 #27 Share Posted June 5, 2015 You are not going to the right place. Go to aarp then rewards for good then redeem points. It will be under gift cards then under travel. ty ty - I figured I was wrong somewhere - I'll try it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted June 5, 2015 #28 Share Posted June 5, 2015 ty ty - I figured I was wrong somewhere - I'll try it now Success! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Saved $100 on a grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted June 5, 2015 #29 Share Posted June 5, 2015 How many points does it take? If I start doing the quizzes or whatever for points can I earn enough points in one day? Also, how long for shipping? My cruise is in a little over 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted June 5, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Can anyone tell me how long shipping takes? I can order the $100 card but it doesn't say how long shipping takes and it will be pointless to get this after my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted June 5, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I called and was told it only takes 2-3 business days so I felt safe enough to order. I got 4 of the $100 cards, saved about $40. Thanks OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigB0882 Posted June 5, 2015 #33 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I wonder if I got my order in on time. I got a confirmation but no email yet. I hope they didn't sell out while I was putting in my credit card information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they didn't sell out while I was putting in my credit card information. I'm pretty sure if the transaction goes through you will get your gift cards. I bought some yesterday and was able to get one more today. That should cover most of my on board expenses. :) I never got a confirmation email, but when I look at my account, it says that the ones I bought yesterday have been shipped.

BigB0882 Posted June 5, 2015 #35 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I see the charge pending on my credit card. Hopefully it goes through and I will see a shipment date on their site by Monday. I have to receive these within 2 weeks so I am a bit nervous even though they assured me I should get them in plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to receive these within 2 weeks so I am a bit nervous even though they assured me I should get them in plenty of time. Last time I ordered them they shipped them in 2 days and I had them in the mail within a week. I ordered some dining gift cards 2 days ago and they shipped them today. Look at your account on the rewards for good page and it will give you the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted June 5, 2015 #37 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Would be nice if they offered the down load version like Verizon does. Confirm the purchase, get an email, click on the link and print. Takes about 15 minutes or less using available technology instead of snail mail delivery. But I am grateful I got mine in before the offer went away.

jdcml Posted June 5, 2015 #38 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) For those wondering about shipping times... I ordered some back on 5/20 and they have yet to arrive. I sent an email and got a generic reply that they would look into it. I called them earlier this week and was told that they were on back order. The original order completed, I got the email, and my account had the charge come out right away. They were supposed to ship on Wednesday when the new batch came in. No tracking number or anything available for the order so no way of knowing where they are. We have plenty of time so not worried. Just wanted to share my experience for those of you looking for quick turn-around. Edited June 5, 2015 by jdcml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted June 5, 2015 #41 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Oh wow, the ones I ordered on the 20th were here within the week. I've ordered them from Verizon, AARP, and my credit union - it's never taken more than a week. In fact I've gotten other things using points and the delivery was timely. Hopefully what the previous poster described was a hiccup - especially for BigB0882 who needs them quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhmoore Posted June 5, 2015 #42 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I missed them again!! What time yesterday did they become available? I'm going to try to plot my attack for the next release!! It looks like previously they were available on May 14 and 20. Yesterday was June 4. I don't see a pattern yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site now shows as shipped and I don't doubt they will be here soon. Just glad it wasn't for a cruise the next week! Guess I could have just cancelled the order.

arby70 Posted June 5, 2015 #44 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I looked this morning and managed to get 2 of the $100 cards. Right after I got them, they were all sold out. They don't last long. I just lucked out. The 10% off of these cards is a nice added savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted June 5, 2015 #45 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I got mine at about 10:30 this morning New York time. My friend got his shortly after I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaCanCop Posted June 6, 2015 #46 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I tried for a $500 card this morning but it sold out before I paid for it. So bought 7 $100 cards instead and wife bought 5. What a savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted June 23, 2015 Author #47 Share Posted June 23, 2015 AARP has the Carnival gift cards available right now at 10% off! They have the $500 and $100 gift cards. I do know that when I got the $100 gift cards they came through regular mail, when I got the $500 it came through UPS and had to be signed for.

AmberTeka Posted June 23, 2015 #49 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Two summers ago, I had to rent a car going to and from Cedar Key, Florida. Through AARP, I saved 25% off of a Ford Focus, and had free insurance thrown in. Nice car. And at Hampton Inn........always 10% less and sometimes........I suspect.....less. We sailed last March out of Fort Lauderdale. Spring Break Our beloved Snowbirds who bring money, and generate taxes for our schools and hospitals, had not gone home to the north yet.............so Hampton INN was 230 per night. I needed two rooms for daughter and family and Us. With AARP discounts....got rooms for 180. Still steep. But learned a lesson. Don't book rooms in South Florida in the Winter. or Spring break if possible. Sail out of Jax. Tampa. P.C. OUTBACK restaurants.......15% discount for Seniors. I read their monthly magazines. Learn something every time. Their politics which lean very left....don't like. their taking care of Seniors..........they do a fantastic job.
