Carnival gift cards not received

[ConstanceC694421]

I purchased 2 carnival gift cards on 12/25.  I haven't received an email or confirmation but it shows on my purchases in my account as well as my bank statement.  How do I get them to send the cards to my email?  I've never had this problem  thank you

Check all the aspects like your spam, your trash, depending on the browser because it took me a while to find it too. Do a search because you should have gotten it via email

I just put in an order for mine this morning. How long should I wait before I start to worry? I have not received either of my three in my email. Please help

@ColetteB794817 Hi Colette! It can take up to 24 hours to receive the gift card emails once a purchase is processed. Let me know if there's anything I can do!

Hello,

can you check on this for me? I have ordered 2- $500 gift cards and I have not received anything in my email. I wanted to order more but not if this is what is going to happen.

I am currently experiencing the same thing. This appears to be a recurrent issue, and I have already filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Hello @AARPJanelleM , I purchased 2 $100 carnival gift cards yesterday but have not received the cards nor any confirmation email. Can you please look into it? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I ordered gift cards yesterday and I have not received them. It’s has been over 30 hours. 

[AARPJanelleM]

@LethaR71046 Hi Letha, I checked on your gift cards and they were emailed last night. Did you receive the 4 emails? Be sure to check your spam folders and let me know if you need them re-sent!

I ordered 5 gift cards this evening and they still haven't shown up in my email.  Earlier today,  I ordered 3 and got them immediately.   The charge hit my bank already for the 5 from this evening.  Why are they taking so long?  

[TraciD183732]

I totally agree. I’ve ordered digital gift cards from multiple different places and they are always sent immediately. This is my first time ordering from AARP and it could possibly be my last. $450 and not even a confirmation email…but of course my card has already been charged.

[AARPJanelleM]

@karynl211809 Hi Karyn, here to help! The timeframe for delivery of the gift card emails is 24 hours. Did you receive your cards?

[ConsueloL355365]

Hi there, I purchased 2 $500 gift cards and still haven’t received anything. It’s been 24 hours. Thanks. 

[AARPJanelleM]

@ConsueloL355365 Thank you for letting me know! I was able to send this to our escalations team for assistance. You can expect to hear back from them within 3 days.

[ElanieS37442]

I am having the same problem. It’s been about 31 hours. Is there a number I can call to check on it? I don’t have the order #. Is there a way to get that in order to check status?

thank you 

[AARPJanelleM]

@ElanieS37442 Your gift card email was sent yesterday. I have re-sent it in case you did not receive it yet. Let me know if there's anything further I can do!

[AnneSFlorida]

Why does it take 24 hours? Had I known that I probably would have ordered them sooner than trying to NOW pay for the excursions I just put in my cart. The charge hits the bank account immediately but the card is now "in limbo" for up to 24 hours and that doesn't sit well with me. $450 is a lot to spend on an eGift Card to have to wait for it to hit my email for more than a few minutes. 

[SandraL692539]

Hi @AnneSFlorida did you ever get your gift cards?

[AnneSFlorida]

Yes, but it did take awhile.

[AARPJanelleM]

@AnneSFlorida Users will often receive their email sooner, the maximum delivery time is 24 hours. I'm always here to help, please let me know if there's anything I can do!
