FYI, ANYONE can get the gift cards from AARP & Allstate, you do not have to be over 50 and you do not need to be an AARP Member. (I am nowhere close to 55 and have been buying these for a long time)

We always pay off our cruises, gratuities and all onboard spending with the gift cards. It's nice to save $400-$500+ on a cruise.

I guess I'm twice as smart because earlier this week I bought four $500 cards and paid off my cruise with them, with a few hundred left for excursions.

How do you purchase?

following

How do you purchase?

AARP Rewards for Good program:

www.aarp.org/rewards-for-good

You establish an account (you do NOT have to be a member) and start taking quizzes. You do not even have to pass the quiz, simply completing one gives you points. Once you accumulate enough points you can buy the gift cards with a 10% discount. A $500 gift card costs you $450 and 5000 points.

I had already accumulated my points in anticipation of them becoming available. These were e-cards, so the whole process of purchasing the cards and applying them to my outstanding Carnival balance, took no more than ten minutes.

Now that's a good savings.

You are absolutely right...

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

There are 987349 threads about the gift cards on here you can read to get lots more information, Allstate point codes, etc.

You don't have to be 49 1/2 or older to join AARP. People younger than that can get an associate membership. I get all AARP discounts. The only things I am not eligible for are the insurance products.

You are supposed to call AARP to get an associate membership since it isn't available or even mentioned on their website. An associate membership is the same price as a regular membership($16/year). The first year should be $12. When you call, you may get a rep that will try to charge you $16 for the first year. Be polite but firm and you should get it for $12.

AARP members have the same 5,000 daily point limit but get points faster than non-members. AARP members don't have to spend as much time taking quizzes. Members get 75 pts per day for logging in and double points in all quizzes. Newsletter points and points sent with physical gift cards aren't doubled.

I am 33 years old and I have an AARP membership. As others have stated you do NOT have to be over 50 to join.

A personal vacational planner from Norwegian actually signed me up. At that time Norwegian would offer 5% discount on cruise fares for AARP members

You have to pay of the membership of AARP correct.

I am not an AARP member but I still participate in The rewards for good program. We paid for our cruise, an excursion and we will pay for onboard expenses using gift cards purchased through this program. It doesn’t take long to earn points. I usually do the quizzes when I’m watching TV.

No, it's free. Just join the rewards program for free. We started buying them and haven't spend a dime for membership.

You can get those in alot of places.

From a non cruiser., we just apply these then to the balance of the cruise once u buy the gift card? Or can they only be used onboard?

You can apply them to your balance and once it's paid you can use them on board as well.

Where can you get the 10% discounted gift cards other than AARP or Allstate? Never heard of anywhere else having them except Verizon which they stopped late last year.

This is awesome, thanks for the information! Just grabbed a $500 card so I could make a payment.

Thanks for the information.. I just signed up and earned my first 5000 points and purchased a $500 gc...

FYI the eCards (when they have them) are MUCH MUCH better than having to order a physical card. If you order more you may check for them. :)

Does anyone know how often the ecards come out? Only physical cards are currently available now
