How do I purchase carnival gift cards.

[jjohn7906]

I purchased before but can’t find how to purchase them again

HELP PLEASE 

[KristieG233058]

I am very upset that you no longer offer the gift cards on AARP site and you kept.decreasing the promotion if you bought them, then finally took carnival away all together.    It is always about the bottom dollar and to your benefit.  Maybe some people used them as gifts, or  as a reward for themselves, or just the little discount that was offered was a savings to allow them to enjoy a vacation.   Very disappointed in your decision.

I can understand how upsetting this is, @KristieG233058. While Carnival Cruise Lines decided to discontinue offering their gift cards through the AARP Rewards Program, we're still committed to offer valuable rewards. - Diana G.

[2/23/25] Hi Kristie @KristieG233058 , if you do a search on this site you will see AARP didnot decide to "discontinue" them. Carnival did. They finally got tired of the drama with people trying to buy them - buying them and never receiving them. Take care, Nicole 👵

We always received the gift cards.  Carnival stopped it due to so many people taking advantage of them.  Cutting back on order to be more profitable just like going up so much on cruises and discontinuing so many perks

[EstB397359]

 That's not the reason I was told. They said Carnival Corp. doesn't discount the cruise cards anymore so there is no point in selling them here. It makes sense to not sell something that doesn't give you a profit considering all the problems there were with these cards.

Hi jjohn7906! You can sign into AARP.org and go to Rewards. Gift cards are found there. You can also use this link: https://aarp.info/3kpryji -Sue J

I too am looking for the Carnival gift cards. The link above does not bring me to the correct spot for purchasing. Is the Carnival gift card still available?

[AARPConsumerCare]

I'm sorry to hear you had issues finding the Carnival gift cards through AARP Rewards, @samson53. The link we shared previously is not a direct link to purchase them. No worries, I can direct you to the right place. First, you'll need to log in to your AARP Rewards account: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=14185802862 then, choose "Redeem" and "All Rewards" from the drop-down, and you can either type on the search bar "Carnival" or scroll down to select the desired gift card. - Diana G.

The Carnival gift cards are gone.

[jd5928561]

please follow the instructions above from @AARPConsumerCare .  i just did it and there they are - the very first item.  Pls note that they are for members only.  To be honest, my membership has more than paid for itself through gift cards and coupons and knowledge

[RobertW935818]

 I see them now.  They aren't 10% off anymore.  They are only 8% off.  Still better than CardCash which is 7% off.

[GregH868462]

what is CardCash

[RobertW935818]

A website that sells various gift cards.

Hi RobertW935818! Thanks for letting us know you were able to find the Carnival gift cards! ~April D.

I can’t find the Carnival gift cards this morning. I see other cruise lines but not Carnival.

Same here.  That was literally the ONLY reason I purchased (and recently renewed) an AARP membership.  I know they have lots of other perks, but nothing I use.  I guess I’ll be canceling, too.

We hope you stay with us, @ChelseyM194929. While Carnival Cruise Lines decided to discontinue offering their gift cards through the AARP Rewards Program, we remain committed to providing you with valuable rewards and will continue updating our catalog with new items as they become available. - Diana G.

[WadeM342769]

Same, I can’t find them either

[BrandieB815820]

Strange. They were there last night. I purchased one but wanted to grab another and seems they have just vanished. 

[RobertW935818]

Carnival yanked them.  They have decided to discontinue selling them on here.  We have only sailed Carnival but we have started looking at other cruise lines.
