The old points didn't transfer. I wish they did. I had a lot more then I do now. I think the reason some of us got so many points to start with is because we are AARP members.

But I signed up again....only got 1500 points, unlike so many others here who got so many more?? Took some quizzes and my points did show up immediately?? Very strange....they do have a number for "Rewards" to call....866-451-6305 - I plan to call, you may want to do the same? Kind of frustrating to say the least. They previously said that points would not transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I ordered it shipped a day or two later. I placed an order Sunday and it still hasn't shipped. I ordered last week and received them in 5 days over the weekend.

They arrived on Wed., 9/25 via UPS signature required. I think it took longer because of so many people using there last points since they were not going to be transferred to the new program.

naxer Posted September 26, 2019 #131 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I, too, got the 25,000 welcome points, and the 2,250 for clicking, etc (27.250). Under the current rules, I don't see myself using them much for Carnival cruises. I will eventually check out what other things are available with the points though.

It was just a guess. Maybe ask on the AARP forum. Perhaps it's a bug that only affects some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruzCra-Z Posted September 26, 2019 #138 Share Posted September 26, 2019 That was my point… I don’t have Allstate insurance yet I was able to download the app and use it to get points and Carnival gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela12345 Posted September 26, 2019 #139 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It's my understanding the welcome bonus is different for everyone, based on how much you participated in the old Rewards for Good program. Some people have reported receiving 0 welcome bonus points, up to a max of 25,000 welcome bonus points is the most I've seen so far. I received 3,000 welcome bonus points. I am not an AARP member, I only did the rewards for good program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted September 26, 2019 #140 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I received 25000 points plus 1000 more sign up total. Points don't seem to matter now to buy the Carnival cards, just being a member apparently does the trick but limited to one card per month.

cruizinisthebest Posted September 26, 2019 #141 Share Posted September 26, 2019 As of right now, I have 33,035 points. Received 25,000 as a welcome bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolaur Posted September 26, 2019 #142 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I actually purchased a $500 gift card yesterday. Looked today and they were gone. I went to use the card I purchased for my Cheers package today online and realized that the e gift card doesn't have a PIn. I called AARP who told me to call Carnival and gave me a number saying Carnival is aware and will issue another card via email with a PIN. After over an hour on the phone being passed back and forth within Carnival since nobody knew of this situation, we got AARP Rewards on the line in a 3 way conversation. AARP has now stated that they know about the problem but haven't solved it yet and that it is their fault and will get back to me in a few day. hopefully with a solution..lol! Good thing I don't need that $500 for a cruise tomorrow. Lots of bugs being worked out I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twintowngirl Posted September 27, 2019 #143 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I have 28,000 points after signing up for a daily email which gave me a few more points. I find the site is hard to navigate so hope they get the bugs worked out and the gift cards back in stock! I have a back to back to pay for!

I almost always had to log in twice. So far this new one hasn't done it. Thanks, that did work. I usually just log in on the main page (I can't do that again today) and read some of the articles. I very rarely go to rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe817 Posted September 27, 2019 #146 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I'm still waiting for the dust to settle. Imo, it's too soon to start participating in this chaos. After all, they are rolling out an new program, with obviously some bugs. Have patience. Those problems will be resolved as soon as they identify the problem. I'm biding my time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those problems will be resolved as soon as they identify the problem. I'm biding my time. I know I've said it before, but I feel like they should be much more polished by now since they've been working on this for several months. If I remember right, they announced this in May, then attempted to launch in July, but had to move it back to September. They call it the Beta version, but it doesn't seem like it's even that far along. For those commenting about the missing Carnival cards, apparently some people had ordered some shortly after the new program launches and received cards without PIN's (these are now emailed to us). If that was fairly widespread, it's likely they pulled the cards until they fix the problem. It's very odd that that happened because AARP and Allstate used to sell e-cards all the time and I don't remember that ever being a problem. Very strange that this new rewards company got a stock of Carnival e-cards without PIN's. So far I'm pretty unimpressed.
