Carnival Gift Cards in AARP Rewards

[AARPTeri]

We know you are all looking for these - and we will be sure to update you here when they return!  

[AARPJanelleM]

@DanneZ704223 Thank you for following up. This issue was already escalated on January 19. I appreciate you calling the number and emailing the escalations team in response to their request. I have sent a message to my next level of support to follow up on the status. I will let you know as soon as I hear something. 

[DanneZ704223]

Jessi,

Can you tell me how to get to the gift cards on the rewards website please? I can't seem to find them. Thanks!

[JessiS965509]

You go to the AARP Rewards website. It should show your rewards balance, recent activity and total savings. There will be a drop down box that says "Discover" just below your rewards balance. Click on it, then click on "Redeem" and then click on "Members Only." Once you do that it will pull up the members only rewards options, on mine the Carnival gift cards are the first ones shown. You do have to be a paid member to purchase the gift cards.

Thanks so much Jessi! I just saved $500 on the cruise we booked last week. Cheers!

[JessiS965509]

Have fun!

Is there a certain day or time the Carnival Gift Card become available on the site for purchase?

[AARPJanelleM]

@FrankY250751 Hey Frank! No, there's no set schedule for posting the Carnival gift cards. We publish them based on availability and they are very popular so they tend to sell out fast! I'm always here to help, please let me know if there's anything I can do.

How do we get notified when the Carnival gift cards are available please?

[AARPJanelleM]

@debraw113640 Carnival gift cards are currently available as a members only redemption item! Check out all of the travel redemption options in the catalog here: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/#sort-by=default&type=filter_travel

Bought carnival gift card today for 500$ no email or details of the card. Can it be send to me.

[AshishK419892]

I got card details few hours later, putting question here.

[AshishK419892]

I got the mail after few hours pasting here

[AARPJanelleM]

@AshishK419892 Thanks for participating in the AARP Rewards program! Delivery of the gift card email can take up to 24 hours. Also, be sure to check your spam folders. Let me know if you do not receive the email after the 24 hour timeframe and I'll get to the bottom of it. I'm always here to help!

[CherylG620933]

Hi I bought gift cards last night and never got an email. Can you please check in this? Spent $1170 and not even a confirmation email?? 

[AARPJanelleM]

@CherylG620933 Hi Cheryl! Those gift cards were re-sent when you called in and you can expect to receive the emails within 24 hours. I'm always here to help if you need anything.

How can we be notified when they are back in stock?

[AARPJodeeR]

@m588568c   Great question! We now have digital Carnival and Celebrity Cruise Line gift cards available for purchase in the Rewards catalog. Since they are so popular, we can't keep them on the digital shelf, so, if you don't see the cards in our catalog, please check back periodically as we add more inventory. Thanks!

[m840764s]

I'm just over 50 and let my membership lapse and have not renewed because I was mainly using it to complete quizzes to purchase Carnival gift cards. When program changed I saw no need to continue paying for the membership when I couldn't get the benefit that I had signed up for. I haven't had a trip scheduled until now so I might look into the new program if it's working correctly. AARP should know that some people become members just for the discounts because every penny does count.

[PhilS484738]

I'm embarrassed that I didn't do my research before rejoining AARP a few minutes ago.  I thought I'd read that the Carnival Gift Card discount had become a "members-only" benefit.  Previously, I had been able to be part of the Rewards program and purchase them as a non-member.  It seems now that they have been dropped altogether.  I'll have to reconsider my AARP membership, too.

[AARPJodeeR]

@PhilS484738   We now have digital Carnival and Celebrity Cruise Line gift cards available for purchase in the Rewards catalog. They are popular and they do go fast. If you don't see the cards in our catalog, please check back periodically as we add more inventory.

[k338586b]

where do you we find the cards after you purchase them? I bought one before covid and now I dont know where to look for it

[AARPJanelleM]

@k338586b The gift card info arrives via email after a gift card purchase is complete. If you'd like to let me know what type of gift card it was and the date that you purchased it, I'll be happy to look into it further.

[PhilS484738]

Jodee, thanks so much for the notification.  I thought I should just confirm that you were sure the Carnival and Celebrity gift cards were actually available at the time you posted yesterday.  I'm afraid I just saw the notification today (about 25 hours later) and I find neither Carnival nor Celebrity Cruise Line gift cards available in the Rewards Catalogue.  I even opened an incognito window to be sure I'm getting the latest information.  Were they there yesterday but sold out and were removed already?  Thanks.

[JonathonF16933]

Has this been resolved yet?  Is there an alternative way to get these right now?  I've been waiting patiently for these, but with no updates, I've lost a lot of faith in what you are all doing to resolve this.

[RobertN525535]

maybe if you beleive in santa claus..the carnival gift cards might return..

[la32018190]

Where are the Carnival Gift Cards?  How long does it take to resolve the issue?

[AARPCaroline]

@la32018190 We are still working on the issue -- stay tuned! 

[larryvickiefuchs]

If you knew there was an issue, why do you still have them for sale.  I ordered one on Jan. 21 and have not been able to retrive my card.  AARP has sent out four e-mails with links, but none of them work.  Fix the issue or return my money. This whole web site change has been one big cluster.
