Carnival Gift Card promotion Black Friday weekend

I found this online. I haven't taken advantage of it myself yet, but I thought some of my CC friends would like to give it shot.

Carnival is offering a promotional gift card when you purchase a $300 gift card at: http://www.carnivalgiftcards.com

Purchase a $300 gift card and get a $25 promotional card

Purchase a $500 gift card and get a $50 promotional card

If you have Carnival credit card, the promotion cards are doubled. The fine print is listed below...

Happy Black Friday everyone!

Thanks for the information. I'm going to look into this!

any monies left over will be put back on this gift card. You make sure you cash out your account the night before-- BEFORE midnight using the casino or the kisok located at gift services

Thanks Serene:) This is good advice for those who might not know how to get their unused gift card balance in cash.

Not what happened to me a couple of weeks ago using an e-gift card.

On the Splendor repo, I applied a $500 gift card and had about $130 credit left. I'd been told here and at the service desk that it would go back on the card.

It didn't. I received a refund check in less than a week.

It seems that if you use them to pay on a cruise, but don't use the whole balance, it stays on the card. But if you apply them to your S&S account while on board and don't use it all, you get a refund.

Doesn't really matter. I don't want to cash out at the casino and have to travel home with a wad of cash. Getting the check was just fine. I mean, money is money after all. And now I don't have to keep up with the piece of paper.

Yeah-- BUT.,

If that money goes back to the gift card--I'd be out that money because I do not know when my next carnival cruise will be.

Do you get the e-gift card via email right away?

Ex.

1.Buy gift card

2. Check email

3. Buy cruise with gift card today for discount

Thanks for the heads up purchased one for 500.00 on my carnival card and receive a 100.00 gift card that's like receiving a 20% bonus.

I have a couple questions too.

1. My TA said she will accept Carnival gift cards. Want to be sure these will work for that before purchasing. Or do you have to use at Carnival.com?

2. My final payment date is on Dec 7th, Is the egift card sent right away. It says they will do it on Dec. 1st when they are back in the office after the holiday.

3. How do you then add the balance of an egift card to your account on the ship?

I was burned a few weeks ago with a carnival gift certificate which is different than a gift card so just want all the facts before I purchase. :)

Also wondering if anyone has bought the e gift card today? I know the "extra" won't arrive for 2 weeks but assuming it will work and I'll get the card to make a payment today then can add the promotional later?

Does anyone that has the carnival MasterCard know if this would be a purchase that would get double points? I would assume so since it's from carnival but just curious.

Also do you only get one promo card per person? In other words I can't make two separate purchases for $500 or more and get to promo cards can I?

I have been trying to get information and purchase one of these cards today. I am on my 3rd call to Carnival. I tried to purchase a $500 gift card, but there is no place on this web page to do so. When I tried calling, the reps act like they have no idea what I am talking about. So I am on hold for the 3rd time.

This is very frustrating. :mad:

It is there. Chose open value under item price then put in the amount you want.

This is from the OP's post above:

It says limit 5 per person, per day. So if I want two $500 ones then you make two separate purchases?

I emailed my TA and she called Carnival to confirm for me that I can use the gift cards to pay off my cruise with her.

Finally got it ordered. My computer was doing weird things. They finally got me to website support and they were able to order it for me.

Somewhere in the fine print it says per qualifying card up to five promotional cards per person.

I highly recommend reading the thorough Verizon gift card thread. Lots of useful info there. I've bought both the fathers day gift card with promo bonus and the Verizon gift cards. May buy one of these tomorrow before I board freedom and apply to my Bermuda balance

Does anyone know how/when the bonus part is applied? I tried to buy $500 but didn't see anything about the $50 bonus.

I just bought a $500 egift card. It arrived right away and my TA has all ready applied it to my account. I am going to go an buy another one! Ha.

Just wanting to make sure I am doing this right. Is there anything that is written letting you know before checkout that you are receiving the promotional gift card? I am at the checkout and I do not see anything, so it makes me nervous that I may not get the deal .

Thank you!

Carnival ran a similar promotion several months ago..only it was for XX amt of $$ and then you received 10% extra...they were both sent immediately..I purchased $1000 card and a $300 card and I received double points for both.

Does anyone know how/when the bonus part is applied? I tried to buy $500 but didn't see anything about the $50 bonus.

It states that the bonus will be sent within 2 weeks after the end of the promotion to the email address the card was sent. I just did three $500 cards so I hope it works!

I bought a 500 dollar one with my carnival Mastercard but so far have only received the 500 dollar egift card but not the 100 dollar extra one yet :confused:
