marmac761 Posted July 13, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I have gotten $100 gift cards from AARP and received them within a week. I know by these boards we have to sign for the $500 ones. Just wondering how long do they take and do they come by ups or fedex ? Is there a way to track them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted July 13, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The couple of $500 cards I've ordered came via UPS within 7-8 days and they did require a signature. I don't recall a UPS tracking number being made available. I think I've read on the board however, that some folks have reported the larger denomination cards just came regular USPS but I could be "disremembering."

rmvst Posted July 13, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Mine always come UPS, and signature is required, unless you go to UPS site and authorize them to leave it without signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted July 13, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 13, 2019 $100 cards come via USPS. Anything $500 and above come via UPS. If they're coming UPS they require a signature. You can simply create a UPS account online for free and digitally sign for them. No need to divert them to other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to divert mine because I don't trust them not to walk from my front door. Usually no one is home, so I have them sent to a local UPS Store where I pick them up on my way home from work.

naxer Posted July 13, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I just got a bunch of the $500 ones a few weeks ago. I ordered them on a Thursday night. No tracking number was given. The first UPS delivery attempt was the following Wednesday. I went to the UPS place to get them and sign for them the next day.

ULCajunCruiser Posted July 13, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Ordered several a couple of weeks ago. Can only order $1000 per transaction (meaning I wanted to buy $3000 worth of cards, but had to do it in 3 separate transactions). I have a UPS account, so I was notified by them when the cards shipped as well as when they would be delivered (down to a 4 hour window). My suggestion would be to sign up for a UPS account and you'll be in the know, its free. My cards were delivered within a week, all arrived at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will definitely ask my son in law( ups driver) to help me set up an account. Thanks so much for all info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
