Spire2000 Posted January 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hey all, Quick question... Does anyone know if Canadian Starbucks gift cards can be used on the Oasis? We received a few of them for XMas and I'm wondering if they are worth bringing along. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merlurker Posted January 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't think ANY GC's would be accepted on the ship. Can anyone confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spire2000 Posted January 29, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I was sure that I read that Starbucks on the ships accepted gift cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted January 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I was sure that I read that Starbucks on the ships accepted gift cards... People have reported that Starbucks cards are accepted on Oasis and Allure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted January 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The problem is that the Canadian gift cards might not be accepted at a US$ location due to the currency conversion that would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amster65 Posted January 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2013 From what I understand Starbucks cards are not accepted at any franchised Starbucks location, like Barnes & Noble, Grocery stores with Starbucks inside and Target stores with Starbucks, so I would assume that the ship Starbucks would be the same. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted January 29, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2013 No, it really is true that the Starbucks on the Oasis and Allure do accept Starbucks gift cards for payment. It's a strange exception to the general SeaPass-only for payment onboard practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in our local airport would not when they first opened but they have since started accepting them....may be an individual franchise location decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev71 Posted January 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I would probably say no they will not accept it. Things that make me say that they are a cash less enviroment. So giftcards would be the same as cash, If i was a gambler and on the cruise ship , id bet $25 it would not be allowed espically with the Canadian vs United States, currency even though its pretty even at most times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyriecat Posted January 29, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I used my Starbucks card on Friday at a Starbucks inside Target, on Saturday at a Starbucks inside Bush airport in Houston, and yesterday at Starbucks inside Randall's grocery store. I wasn't able to use it in the past at Starbucks in Nassau or Old San Juan. If Starbucks on Oasis & Allure take gift cards, do they also take cash or is it gift card / Sea Pass only?

Spire2000 Posted January 29, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Well, we've established that they DO in fact accept gift card at Starbucks on board. The question remains if Canadian cards are accepted though, though I am leaning toward the opinion here that they are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlitherial Posted January 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've tried both Cdn giftcards at US locationss and US ones at Cdn locations (not on purpose, they look the same darn it) and their systems are not compatible. If they take US cards they can't take Cdn ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
