GAMOM4 Posted August 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2013 This may have already been posted and I may have missed it - but my PVP got in touch with me Friday and told that there is a new Referral Promotion that is going on where if you refer someone and they book a cabin with Carnival (a person that has never booked before or someone that hasn't been on Carnival since 2000) that you can receive a $50 Carnival Gift Card with no limit on the number you can receive. This is only going on from August 1 - September 8th. I had referred a group of high school seniors and they booked on August 1st .... since I didn't know about the program until August 2nd....I am not going to get those 6 cabins..that seems really unfair....but they told me that 3 more were booked this week and Carnival already has it logged in the system...because I just pulled it up. You receive the gift cards 2 weeks before they sail (I think) I have all the details of the promotion. I am going to try and send an e-mail or something and see isn't there anyway that I can get credit for the other 6 cabins...because they know that I did refer them and they know that they have booked. But anyway....I have $150.00 in gift cards coming now (well in May of 2014)... Wish this would have been going on 2 months ago because I referred 2 other couples that both booked a cabin.... Just wanted everyone to know about the promotion in case you didn't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMOM4 Posted August 7, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I figured that the reason he called to tell me about the program was that he knew that they were planning on booking some cabins because they had called them .. on Friday I didn't even realize that they had booked on the 1st....I was really excited when I found that out. So I naturally thought that was the reason for him letting me know. And he said that he did try to get me credit for them but they wouldn't let him. This was what he typed me. Carnival will not do the others because they were booked before the program started. Carnival will not back date bookings sorry, I tried. These are the terms & Conditions....

mamajules Posted August 7, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So glad you posted this! One of my co-workers has been looking at taking a cruise for her 10th wedding anniversary and has been talking with me a lot about the ships, ports, etc. She is definitely booking the Freedom for February within about a week. I just submitted my referral for her. So hopefully I will have gift card in hand for my cruise on the Sunshine next year :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMOM4 Posted August 7, 2013 Author #9 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Well that didn't turn out to good....it wouldn't let me post it to start off with because it said it had 10 pictures in it..I deleted everything from the Carnival Logo to Share the Fun to Please Provide.....anyway .. I deleted and deleted and it ended up jumbled up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2cruise3411 Posted August 7, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I am ticked that my PVP did not tell me about this. I called her up last week and told her I was referring a friend to her and no mention of this. Thanks for the information though, but also too late since they already booked.

GAMOM4 Posted August 7, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted August 7, 2013 They said it didn't come out until Friday....which I don't understand since the date of it beginning was Thursday the 1st.....but I really do think if my referrals booked 6 cabins on the 1st ... I could understand it they booked on the July 31st... but anyway....I sumitted a request ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusandgidgetsmom Posted August 8, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I had heard that it was a trial thing. Maybe all PVP's aren't participating. I know that the meeting was not until last week so probably for the poster that was upset her PVP didn't tell her/him,they probably hadn't heard yet and every program has to have a start date.

LadyDAC Posted August 8, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 8, 2013 How can you take advantage of a program you don't know exists? I had friends book a cruise with me but found out about this promotion one day after they booked it. AND I had spoken with my PVP via the phone regarding a price drop and he never mentioned the program! Carnival is refusing to give me the credit because I asked for it one day after my friend booked.

That is what the rules said....I got the confirmation that I have 3 $50 gift cards for the cabins the people booked this week....and I will get them in May two weeks before they cruise...but I can pull up on the form that they are there :) (just wish I could get the other 6 that were booked on Thursday .... this is all the same group of people that are going) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
