    I see many posts about having cruise line gift card issues.   I had no problem getting mine in early April.   

     My question is how to use rewards points to purchase one of those gift cards.  I have one in my shopping cart, but there is no option to use points.   I went to redeem and all rewards.

    Hi @ccinbr, you can purchase digital gift cards from Carnival, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Holland America Line, and Princess cruise lines in the Rewards catalog at a discounted rate: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=13435214927 - Diana G.

    Diana G,  I see were I can purchase the gift cards.  I have done that before.  My question is, can rewards points be used to pay for the purchase of the gift card as opposed to using a credit card.

    I have only been an AARP rewards member for a few years, so I don't know if it was possible to use rewards points for cruise line gift cards in the past. The rewards catalog shows which gift cards can be obtained for points, and which gift cards can be obtained for purchase, and right now all of the cruise line gift cards are only for purchase, not for using points. I don't think I've ever seen a cruise line gift card available for points since I've been a member.
