itsalljimmysfault Posted January 30, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2011 We have two gift cards worth $100 each. We are setting up S&S with credit/debit card. Can we apply gift cards towards S&S? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted January 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's easier if they are the ones with your name on them. Lots of places do not take the nameless ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizaMM Posted January 30, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2011 OK..nevermind. Called Carnival and just FYI they said we can use them no problem!:D Thank you for posting this!! I have a couple of these also and I think it would be GREAT to use them to pay down my S&S!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin13 Posted January 30, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Glad someone asked as I got $150 of them for Xmas. I was going to put on my S&S account then use them in the casino. Since we are not sailing till October I will also ask for an OBC from my DH and my mother for my birthday. This way I will have at least $350 to do with what I want. I did this last October on NCL and it worked out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted January 30, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Just as a point of reference, this is what Carnival says about forms of payment for Sail & Sign accounts: Acceptable Credit Cards / Gift Cards Visa Card / Visa Gift Card MasterCard / MasterCard Gift Card An ATM/Debit Cashing Card may be used as long as it is a registered MasterCard or Visa Card The Discover Card / Discover Gift Card American Express Card Diner’s Club / Diner's Club Gift Card JCB CardNote: Gift Cards may also be referred to as "secured" or "pre-loaded" credit cards or “Travel Funds Card”.

BeachChik Posted January 30, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 30, 2011 OK..nevermind. Called Carnival and just FYI they said we can use them no problem!:D I would double check with Amex. I had two and in the terms and conditions it stated they could not be used on cruise ships. Or out of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizaMM Posted January 31, 2011 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for updating this! I have Amex so I guess they wont work......oh well. Maybe I'll use them to get take-out for dinner those first few nights after I get home and just can't seem to get back into the routine of grocery shopping/cooking/cleaning :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, on my Liberty cruise Dec 2010, I used an AmEx gift card towards my S&S Account, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, it's all a matter of know-how and who you talk to. Speaking of which, would it be possible to buy Funship Dollars before the cruise with the gift card? Do they still offer Funship Dollars?
