Exciting stuff, I never win anything. If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all. I got the email yesterday and thought it was fake at first, but it had all the right credentials. I replied to confirm that it was me and they sent me the e-gift card less than an hour later. This will go a long way towards my next cruise. Thanks again, AARP! Congrats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MeganGC1983 Posted August 22, 2023 #5952 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I ordered cards from the defunct AllState. Let’s see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a brave soul for cards that are now yielding 6.25% for the 100's and 7% for the 500's that are mailed. Too much risk for me with mail and the low discount after shipping fees. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much risk for me with mail and the low discount after shipping fees. It's odd. I know the best thing to do is start dumping points into sweepstakes, but after 6 1/2 years of accruing points, I'm having some kind of mental block. Every time I log on, a little voice says, "Stop. Don't spend points recklessly." 😝 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted August 23, 2023 #5955 Share Posted August 23, 2023 I am down to about 150k points, I am spending them like a drunken sailor now 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organized Chaos Posted August 23, 2023 #5956 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Spin the wheel and scratch & win on the same day and I still get bupkis. I entered some sweeps. Only 905k points left. LOL Everyone's going to be maxing out their daily limits trying to burn through points. These things are going to be a massive shot in the dark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can unload 10k at a time on some of them with 200 entries. I was at 700k points but I figure I might as well use them for what it's worth.

ab19902 Posted August 23, 2023 #5959 Share Posted August 23, 2023 For some reason it wants me to log in again to use up my measly 100k points, but when I go to log in, it won't let me. It wants me to do it from the app. I much prefer to do it on the computer. This is hogwash. Hogwash I tell you!

If you have Capital One quicksilver they currently have a 23 dollar off offer for AARP. BofA also recently had and 8 dollar offer also with their cash rewards visa. There are a lot of discounts besides Carnival through AARP like Home Depot, Lowes, restaurants etc. I have paid for membership many times over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll leave me nearly 600k. I gotta get a move on. But we still have Oct., too, so I'll get 'er done.

I had to slow down my point binge because I am now down to about 150k. I want to spread the small chance I have around a bit. It seems like the games have been a bit more generous lately in awarding points on the wheel and scratch off, at least for me. Now using points I probably got from Cabo Bob's sleuthing!

amilicia Posted August 24, 2023 #5972 Share Posted August 24, 2023 What is the typical turn around time for the AARP e-gift cards? I placed my first order a few hours ago for a Carnival GC and haven't received so much as a confirmation of the order. The order shows in my transaction history on AARP Rewards and my credit card was charged quickly.... I usually had the Allstate E-GC within a few minutes of ordering and always received an order confirmation. Just hoping the website didn't glitch, because it sat on the processing screen for longer than I liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered them while onboard a ship so that I could apply to my account and they have been in my email by the time I get to guest service.

amilicia Posted August 24, 2023 #5975 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Thank you for the responses. I checked my spam folder and nothing there.. I chatted with them online and got the canned response that it takes up to 24 hours to receive the GC. They do see the order in their system, so that's promising, I guess... Maybe this one is taking longer because I just joined AARP this morning and signed up for the REWARDS a couple minutes before I placed the order. I'll give them the 24 hours before I make contact again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
