OK, so I just ignored the warning, put the amount I wanted to pay using that card in the "other amount" box, hit submit and it worked!!

sorry that didn't post very well, but the point I'm trying to make is that there is no way to actually make a payment!! I'll try again

Yes n6uqqq, thanks, I tried that. I'm very familiar with the process, I've done it numerous times. But today I'm getting this error, which I've never seen before?? The gift card wallet balance exceeds the sailing balance due I don't know, just hoping it'll go back to normal by Monday!!

I'm having a bad week with these darn cards!! Now I'm trying to pay off some of what I owe. But it is not letting me use a card unless I use it all up. I have countless times used a $500 card to pay a $200 charge, then later used that same card to pay $50, and then finished off when using it a 3rd time. But today if I have a balance left on the card, it won't allow the transaction to go through. Hope this is a temporary glitch and not a permanent change!!

Well good news, even though I haven't heard anything back from AARP, I needed to buy some cards!! Just bought 10 (2 transactions with 5 cards each) with no issues at all. They must have fixed whatever bug was in there!!

I have not heard back from AARP, but I went ahead and tried again. No problem, did exactly what i did yesterday and it went straight thru without any issues! Go figure???

Well great, I hope that happens for me. Thanks for the encouraging news, and for the contact info if they drag their feet!!

Exactly!! I save 10% off of the stuff I buy. It's not an incentive to buy more stuff!!!

Yes checked and double checked. Cleared cookies, turned off ad blocker, tried different browsers, went line by line (twice) with the AARP service rep!!! It just wasn't letting me!! Who knows, it hates me!!! I'll try again tomorrow

If I can't get them in another day or so I will have to. But you're right, I'm trying to maximize the points I get by using it for everything on this trip

I'm venting more than asking a question. But I am trying to buy some Carnival Gift Cards from AARP. I've done this many times before, but for some reason it's not allowing the transaction to go through. Called them up and they say try this and try that, which I understand is procedure, but every time I try and it bombs, it's adding $1800 to my pending credit card bill!! Tried 8 ties and boom that's nearly $15,000 in pending charges. They can't remove them and my credit card company says they can't remove them. I only hope that there's no emergency in the next 30 days cause my credit card is now all but useless!!! More frustrated than anything, thanks for listening!!

OP, not sure what happened but what she said is 100% correct. I constantly use partial values on my gift cards!!

Congrats, Thats a steal!!

Was on her last week and had a great time. Good food and friendly staff, what else can I ask for. I really like this class of ship. It does not have all the new bells and whistles of the newer ships, nor numerous dining options; but what is there is great!! Always take reviews with a grain of salt, why people get a charge out of bashing is a mystery!!
