kona_wahine Posted April 10, 2015 #501 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Have you noticed if there are certain days they come available? I have a huge bill due in January and I'd like to start collecting them soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela12345 Posted April 11, 2015 #502 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all of this. I too went through the exact same thing 2 days ago. I will try to go through the steps you did above and hopefully I can snag a few for a June cruise. Glad to see someone actually made this work! Enjoy your cruise with your savings! You're welcome. Happy to help ! I posted my instructions in post #495 so I could 'give back' to the CC community. I hope it helps you snag some ! Have you noticed if there are certain days they come available? I have a huge bill due in January and I'd like to start collecting them soon. I have only seen them available two times, even though I have been looking for a long while ... The first time was in the evening of Wed Apr 1 and they went live the next morning. The second time was this morning Fri Apr 10 and they went live a couple hours later. I'm sure I've missed other times when they were available as they go so quick, you just have to be lucky, really. It would be interesting if everyone started reporting when they saw them and someone tracked that data. I'd also be interested in seeing how many they have at a time. I don't have as many points now though, so won't be able to see if they have more than 115 $100 cards or 23 $500 cards. .

kteachcruiser52 Posted April 11, 2015 #503 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I have purchased them 4 times in the last 2 months. Three times around 10-11 pm , it appeared you could buy them, but after you put them in your cart and went to check out it said they were sold out. These 3 times I was able to actually purchase them between 4-6 am the next morning. I think they were getting ready to put them online late at night when it appeared they were available, but you couldn't really get them. The 4th time I bought them between 8-9 when I saw they were available on a social media page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessed3 Posted April 11, 2015 #504 Share Posted April 11, 2015 What social media page are you on, kteachcruiser52? I would like to scope this page out so I can get the Verizon gift cards for my cruise in June. I have purchased them 4 times in the last 2 months.

KELLYHANK Posted April 12, 2015 #506 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Does anyone know if I can use them towards my vow renewal on the cruise? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kteachcruiser52 Posted April 12, 2015 #507 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You will usually see it posted on the Carnival Forum here, too. Usually the tag line has been They're Back or something similar. Each of the four times I have purchased them I checked here to see if anyone has posted it yet. Three times it has already been posted and the other time I posted it. I do not need any more right now so I have not been looking for them. Good luck. Others said they are available o. Citi Bank credit cards and ChaseFreedom cards. Others have said they got them using points on their AARP a account but I have never been able to find them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted April 18, 2015 #508 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Get them quickly while you can. Finally snagged what I needed for this next cruise in June. Big shout out goes to angela12345 who previously shared her success with obtaining these cards in post #495. It went exactly as you described to the detail and it made the process much easier to endure. Can you believe all of this for gift cards??:D But good luck to anyone else this morning.

lego7191 Posted April 18, 2015 #512 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yay! Got 5 of the $500 and 7 of the $100. And just like Kteachcruiser noted, I saw they were available last night and I could add to my cart, but could never complete the checkout. But I was able to this morning finally! Been stalking that Verizon page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela12345 Posted April 18, 2015 #513 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) 9:45am. $500 were down to 3 by 9:40, now they are all sold out. Still over 100 of the $100 gift cards at 10:05am I'm a nosy Nancy, lol ... I have 115,000 points, so originally I put 23 of the $500 in my cart and it said I had to lower my quantity to 21 in order to continue checkout. That's how I could tell how many there were. I changed the $500 to 1 in the cart and then added 109 of the $100 in my cart. It will allow me to order all of those, so I know there are more than 109 still available. :) Not to worry though, I'm not actually purchasing those. I just wanted to see how many were left. Also, I got some info from Verizon about the Carnival gift cards. I'll come back after breakfast and post an update. .

MagicMike Posted April 18, 2015 #515 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I would buy some for use on board as our cruise leaves in 2 weeks, but have no idea if they would get here in time. Does anyone know how long shipping takes? They still have over 80 left Edited April 18, 2015 by MagicMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exarkkun Posted April 18, 2015 #516 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Their back! It's not the e-gift cards though, as it charged me 0.59 cents to ship it. It looks to be the physical gift cards. Hurry hurry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get the $100 ones to avoid that, because the last time I missed the delivery and had to drive 30 minutes to pick them up. They wouldn't even use an alternate address.
