AARP - Carnival Gift Card Delivery Question

[KelSny1011]

Hello

 

For those who have recently purchased gift cards;

 

How long does it take for you to receive gift cards once you ordered?  

 

Thanks!

[ricew001]

For less than $500 it was just a few days. The $500 seemed to take longer  - maybe a week or a little longer. I am in North Carolina.

[bury me at sea]

Seven to ten business days to Texas for the $100.00 cards.  $500 three to five.  They came UPS.

[Saint Greg]

About a week in both denominations for me.

I just ordered 4 $500 ones last Friday and they will be here tomorrow(Friday). I signed up for the UPS alerts that way I know when they would be on the way. The $500 ones also require a signature.

Are they always available on Aarp.? Should I get a membership just for this? How much cheaper?

They have been lately. No membership. 10% off. $450 for a $500 card or $90 for a $100 card. They don't have ecards anymore so you pay 59 cents per card shipping.

[bgoodmandu]

They are always available but sometimes they are sold out and you just have to keep checking to see when they have more. I don’t know how much cheaper they are with the membership, I just do the quizzes to get the points. 

[KelSny1011]

Thanks everyone!

 

It's not much of an advantage to become a member.  I'm trying to get 45000 reward points to get $4500 worth of gift cards.  That comes out to 9 days worth of quizzes (LOL) and I'm hoping that the cards are not sold out or that I get them all by the final balance due date of my cruise.  $450 savings is worth taking the quizzes IMHO.

[Saint Greg]

see if any of these codes still work. It's a cool 3k pts if they do. I don't do the surveys anymore. I just enter the codes they send me in email.

I just ordered a couple of $100 to add to what I had and get enough to pay our CHEERS, and I had them in 3 days (in Missouri).

This.  For my $500, I had to sign but for the less than $500, they just came directly in the mail.

They are not cheaper if you're an AARP member but the quizzes offer double points to members.

Another option to get points is to sign up for a new account with a different email. Do that and then subscribe to all newsletters. It ends up being something like 9k points right there. Rinse and repeat.

Ordered 5x$500 Tuesday night and they arrived Thursday morning.  We are only one state away from where they are shipped.  You can sign up on UPS app to waive the need for a signature and specify where driver should place the envelope.  The app will send a notification as soon as they are delivered.

Thanks Saint Greg.  These are the only codes that worked.  Worth 150 points each.

I subscribed to all the news letters and got my 9K points this AM.  Thank you for that!

 

It's still letting me earn points by taking quizzes too, so I'm doing my daily 5K of quiz taking as well. 

 

This is  hard work!  LOL

this earned me 500 points

Thanks!  That was another 800 points total 🙂

On Monday I ordered 2x$100 Carnival and 2x$100 Avis vouchers and received an email the next day that they were shipped via USPS.   

 

In the past the $500 cards come via UPS and there is no tracking number sent.  You (someone) must also be there to sign for it or sign up for My UPS to make arrangements.
