Carnival Gift Cards - AARP

[Gamecock_Cruiser]

We haven't cruised in almost two years so haven't worried about discount gift cards. I don't see how to take the quizzes to get them through AARP anymore. Is this still possible? My dad is of the AARP age. Does he need to sign up to buy them discounted? Any other way to get them discounted?

Thanks!

That program ended yesterday -- 9/23. We have to wait and see what the new program will offer.

They're launching the new rewards program today so we should find out shortly.

"On September 24th, Rewards for Good will become AARP Rewards. AARP Rewards is coming later today, September 24th. Thank you for your patience while we get the program up and running."

 

They have discontinued the old program, and bringing out a new one today. As of yet they have not started back the quizzes.

Talk about timing of it ending yesterday. I would have stayed up last night taking quizzes! haha

I just logged in and you do have to be an AARP member to get the discounted cards.  I let my membership expire, so I will be using Allstate Drivewise to get my cards in the future.

No. You do not have to be a member to take advantage of the gift card promotions.

Interesting, mine showed that it was only available to AARP members to buy the discounted gift cards.

Interesting indeed. Can you post a link that says that? Thanks!

I just logged on, earned 5000 points, then looked at the gift cards. There are 2 Carnival cards. $100 for $90 and $500 foe $448 but now you have to be a member to get them:(

You don't have to be a senior to become a member, just sign up!

pay the $16 or whatever it is to join AARP...you now have to be a member to get Carnival gift cards

[Jerseygirl1416]

If you have a Citibank credit card that’s part of the citi easy deals program, you can get the same Carnival discounted gift cards. $90 for $100 and $450 for $500. It’s so much easier than taking those quizzes and no shipping charges. I just ordered some cards Sunday night and had them on Thursday.

So members still get discounted cards? If so, I am signing my dad up.

Yes, you have to join AARP...it is not very much $$.

so I just logged on and got signed up to be a member. It was $12 to subscribe for the year.  I'm only 29. 

 

I did find that both of the gift cards ($500 and $100) are only able to be purchased 1 time per month.  What a bunch of crap! You can only purchase up to 3 gift cards from different retailers a month as well. Not sure what to do at this point as I was hoping to be able to purchase all my gift cards at once to cover the balance of my cruise.

I thought is was the 25th. Just had a reminder come up to buy cards.

There goes 31,000 Pts.

 

Ouch $310.00 lost.

Time to go to the dark side and join Allstate!

They must be staggering the roll out because I cannot access yet. Still says coming later today for me.

I joined Allstate a few months ago but cannot figure out how to get points for the life of me.  I tried the app and doing the driving thing but that doesn't accumulate points nearly as fast as the quizzes on here. What am I missing?

Go to the allstate thread and there are a ton of codes there. I just started a few months ago and have 202000 points.

awesome.  Thank you very much! 

[n6uqqq]

No problem! I got allstate as a back up and now it would seem it will become my primary source for Carnival cards.
