AARP Online Community and Discussion Forums - Still haven't received Carnival gift card

Pamsbaker12 · ‎01-30-2023

I ordered a 500 Carnival E gift card on the 25th. I still haven't received it. I tried doing the chat function and someone was trying to help me. Tried resending them with no luck also never received a confirmation email and the chat was cut off. Today I can't get the chat to load and I have been on hold and getting nowhere. Money was taken out of my account right away,

I am also waiting to hear back. We purchased over $2,000 in gift cards for Holland America on 1/3/2025, and on 1/23/2025 we are still going back and forth with AARP and no explanation or resolution. I see that a concierge helps some individuals - may I get some help here? The person handling our escalation has no information for us.

I understand how frustrating this is, @MichaelS453501. Please send me a private message to take a look at your AARP Rewards account. Or reach out via chat, phone or text: https://aarp.info/3epCObA Thank you. - Diana G.

I wish I had read this post earlier. I am going through the same thing now. I purchased 2 - 500.00 cards on August 18. To this date, I have received nothing but a runaround. I am on a cruise next week, and this is ridiculous.

Hi, can you please help me as well? I purchased three $500 Carnival gift cards. I reached out to chat and was told it would be resent. Still haven't received and money was withdrawn from my account. Thank you.

can you please help me? I bought a Carnival gift card for 450.00 and i get error message. The amount was taken from my account. I have called and chat but no one helps me. The name and address is the same.

AjS461079 · ‎12-18-2023

Did you ever hear back from them or receive your gift cards ? This is my current situation with them now and I am getting no where. I hope you did it would give me some hope!

CherylT268190 · ‎02-08-2023

We had the same problem in fall 2022. Just called AARP and they will resend it. IF you do not receive gift card within 48 hrs call again. This worked for us.

JanU45358 · ‎01-31-2023

I still haven't heard anything and would just like my money back. I will dispute the charge with my bank if not.
