Herbaltees Posted December 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I have been trying to use the website to refer some family and have not been able to get it to work. Has anyone successfully redeemed a referral yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockbock Posted December 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My husband has redeemed quite a few referrals, but that promotion ended. I don't believe you can still make new referrals. The website still works if you need to check the status of a referral that you made a couple of months ago.

Herbaltees Posted December 6, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I received an email on Sunday about a new promotion. It's supposed to run through December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted December 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I got the email for referrals earlier this week. It would've been nice to have a year ago when we had 11 new cruisers sail with us for our wedding.

mickide Posted December 6, 2013 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) I just referred a first time cruiser this week, but because I wasn't "selected" to participate in the referral program, one of the others in our group had to be the referrer as she was selected. Our new cruiser will get $50 OBC and the referrer will get a $50 Carnival Gift Card which she can use on the cruise we are all going on. I was a bit miffed but they are both going to use the perks to buy rounds of drinks for the 4 of us going :). My PVP took care of everything and once the new cruiser completes the online check-in, both credits will be awarded.

mickide Posted December 7, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thank you.this helps. I didn't know they had to complete the online check in prior to it being awarded. This is lengthy, but here is what the fine print is: Referrer Eligibility This exclusive VIFP Club member offer is valid for new referrals made between December 2, 2013 and December 31, 2013. To qualify for this private offer, you must: • Be selected - this offer is not available to the public. • Be a VIFP Club Red tier member or higher. • Have completed your most recent Carnival cruise by November 14, 2013. • Be at least 18 years old. • Be a resident of US or Canada. Offer is not available to Carnival employees or travel agents. Referred (‘Referral’) Guest Eligibility “Referrals” are defined as individuals who have never sailed on Carnival or existing Carnival Past Guests whose last sailing started before December 1, 2010. A referred guest must be at least 18 years of age and cannot be sailing in the same stateroom as the VIFP Club member who referred him or her. Referred guests must be a resident of the US or Canada. Referred guests cannot be members of the same household the individual who referred them. Reward Redemption Referrers will receive a $50 reward for each qualified referral guest they redeem who makes a new booking within 60 days of being referred or by March 1, 2014 — whichever date comes first. Referral booking may be made directly with Carnival or any travel agent. Upon making a qualifying booking, your referred guest must provide you with his or her first name, last name and booking number. With this information, logon to the “sharecarnivalfun.com” online tool and log referred guest’s booking. You must also ensure your referred guest has completed Online Check-In (‘FunPass’) at least two weeks prior sailing in order for a Carnival gift card to be issued. Upon completion of these redemption requirements, you will receive a $50 Carnival electronic gift card via email. Carnival will use the email address listed in your VIFP Club profile to issue the gift card. Select VIFP Club members’ referred guests will receive a $50 nonrefundable onboard credit which will be applied to the referred guest’s reservation at the same time the referrer’s gift card is issued. You must ensure your referred guest has completed Online Check-in (‘FunPass’) at least two weeks prior sailing in order for the gift card and $50 onboard credit to be issued. Offer Limitations There is no limit on the number of referrals that can be made within the 30 day offer period. However, each referrer may earn up to a maximum $250 (5 gift cards) in total rewards. Additional referrals will not receive any form of compensation. Limit of one referral credit per stateroom. If a person is confirmed as a referral of a VIFP Club member, then no other VIFP Club member may receive credit for that person or other individuals booked in that stateroom. If more than one referral request is submitted for the same person, Carnival Cruise Lines will process the first request received. Existing bookings do not qualify for a referral reward. Offer is available for active, individual bookings and is not available for group bookings. Carnival Gift Card Terms Gift cards are subject to all Carnival Cruise Lines promotional gift card terms and conditions. Please visit http://www.carnival.com/giftcardreferralterms for complete Carnival gift card Terms & Conditions. Gift card is in U.S. dollars, has no cash value and is not redeemable for cash.

girlscruise2011 Posted December 7, 2013 #9 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Its too bad its not an ongoing promotion. I know they had it in the summer for about a month and now for December. I got the email but unfortunately I referred someone back in October to join us on our January Valor cruise and it can't be backdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swazzie1 Posted January 11, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Happy New Year! It appears that the promotion has been extended to the end of January: http://sharecarnivalfun.com/ If anyone has gotten an email with the extended expiration date, you can refer me to the brand :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J&E07 Posted January 31, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I was able to refer my brother/sister-in-law. Hopefully they are able to book soon if they decide to cruise. I'd love an extra $50 on my cruise in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovingretirement Posted February 1, 2014 #14 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Our PVP took care of the referral for us. We have another couple cruising with us on Sunday. They got a $50 credit, and we received a Carnival eGIFT card. We printed it, and will turn it in at the guest services desk to be applied to our account.

swazzie1 Posted April 25, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I just made final payment on my first Carnival cruise this June and the OBC for being referred is now confirmed to be posted for both cabins. Woo-hoo! Thanks so much JdoggCruiser! I hope you get your gift card soon if you haven't already :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollylew Posted April 25, 2014 #17 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I too made three referrals last September for my upcoming family reunion cruise this coming August. I was having a hard time though getting them to "take" and just gave up. A few weeks ago, I started getting emails from Carnival about receiving $50 gift cards. Guess they did go through and it was a pleasant surprise! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
