You do not have to have Allstate insurance but you do need to download their Drivewise app. Thanks for the tip. AARP is still down, so I followed your suggestion and downloaded the Allstate app and just purchased $300 ecards for $270. Combined with my onboard credit, that should be enough for my S&S account on Freedom this December. I will go in again in a couple of months and purchase enough to pay off my Alaska cruise next summer. That should save me $200 of cruise rate. This is awesome.

I leave in 6 days and want to pay for my tips. I am hoping it changes soon. I contacted them and was told "they working on it hard". It is crazy to be down nearly 2 weeks.

There is the red italic message below the cart, AND when I click CheckOut I get a popup that says: "Checkout is currently unavailable "Checkout is currently in maintenance and is unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience" and only a button that says OKAY. No way to go ahead and make purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbieGee Posted October 1, 2022 #36 Share Posted October 1, 2022 These periodic purchases makes me think, it's getting better? Someone is actually working on this issue? One can only hope... 😶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenger71 Posted October 6, 2022 #37 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I was able to purchase 2 x $100 cards yesterday! Hopefully they've fixed it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time and patience to finally get them. People have been told they haven't purchased them even though the money has been charged to their credit cards or deducted from their checking accounts. I just don't think it is worth the discount there anymore. I think I'm done with them, I'm currently out $3150 because a) their website screwed up and didn't complete my purchase yet charged my credit card and b) their customer service people have been incompetent. I'll eventually get it straightened out, but it's just not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll a little to Featured Rewards; in the top right corner of that box, it will say Skip To All Rewards with a down-arrow. Carnival Cards are almost always on the top row of All Rewards for me! Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Celebrity are for AARP Members only, but oddly, Princess and HAL are available to anyone. (Although I was already a member.)
