evandbob Posted November 19, 2015 #1076 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I ordered 2 $500 cards from Verizon on Tuesday, they are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, Friday via UPS. Helps to have prior orders, speeds up delivery time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepenfun Posted November 21, 2015 #1077 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just ordered a $500 card this morning. This will almost payoff our cruise and still have till Feb. 2nd to pay it off. So far I've saved $90 off my cruise with these cards. Verizon still has both $500 and $100 cards available as of 10 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xowendyxo Posted November 22, 2015 #1078 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Thanks for the update! I was able to get 3 more $100 cards. They were sold out for me last week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laceydog Posted November 23, 2015 #1079 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Just trying to figure out how these cards work. If I buy these cards and use them to pay the balance of my cruise off, what happens if I cancel my cruise closer to sailing date (I have insurance)? How do I get a refund? Will it be what I paid for the cards in the form of cash or a gift card? I have someone traveling with me in not so good health and never know what will happen. If the insurance company reimburses me, will it be in the form of cash or does Carnival reimburse in gift cards? Sorry for not understanding the concept of these cards, but thanks for any help.

Not yet, I ordered mine on Saturday. It took a few days to get the email for the $500 one though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you checked your order under account details? I never get shipping confirmations. I always check under my orders and find the details.

This is the first $500 card i've ordered. i've always ordered $100 cards so far and they just mail those first class mail. This card will almost pay off our balance. Going to keep buying $100 and $500 cards as I can till our cruise to use with sail and sign card for on board credit. its free money, why not. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmvideopro Posted November 27, 2015 #1088 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I got mine in about 8 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btregoning Posted November 28, 2015 #1089 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I purchased mine last Thursday and the online account still doesn't indicated that it has shipped. I called customer service today and was told they would look into it and send me information by email within two working days. I certainly hope this hurries up because I want to pay for a birthday celebration for my DH and pay for an excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 28, 2015 #1090 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I've bought the $100 cards several times. Most of time I got notified over a week after ordering that they had just been mailed. The one a couple of weeks ago came within 4 days and I did not get the shipping email.

dolphinlover1 Posted November 29, 2015 #1091 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I ordered a $500 gift card on 11/15 and have not received it yet, and my order still says it is pending and not shipped. Has anyone else had it take over 2 weeks to receive one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted November 29, 2015 #1092 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I just ordered a $500 since Carnival is not doing their special with Barclay. 10% savings is better than none. In hindsight why would Carnival run a gift card special, the cards have been selling in droves on Verizon and AARP. They have no business need to do so.

Has anyone else had it take over 2 weeks to receive one? The first time I ordered them it took 3 weeks and we didn't get them in time for our cruise. The last couple of times I have been getting them in about a week. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galleon1234 Posted December 9, 2015 #1095 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Can anyone tell me quickly how much I need to buy for 2 different onboard bookings deposits?? Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted December 9, 2015 #1096 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks for posting! Just grabbed a $500 one. Now have enough to pay cruise off. After Christmas I will get some for the onboard account. Or another cruise... Last time I got a $500 one it shipped in less than a week and was delivered at door the day after I got the shipping email. I prefer the safety of signing for it. I used 5 $100 cards for my 2 $250 deposits. Re the question as to how many to buy, just figure up amount of $ you need and then apply to either $100 cards or $500.

Rare pirate4me2 Posted December 9, 2015 #1097 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I just grabbed 2 $100 ones. I told myself no buying anymore until AFTER our cruise on the Pride in march since it is paid off and I need to save the $$$ for spending in ports and whatnot, but I couldn't resist. Now I can book some excursions for our Magic cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted December 9, 2015 #1098 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I bought a $500 one and used it for final payment on one cruise and then used the rest to apply to my onboard account last week on Magic. I also found on Verizon Wireless' Rewards webpage a 50% discount for my airport parking. I used that last week and it saved me over $50 in airport parking fees. I found the airport parking discount under "Local Deals" and then "Shopping" on their website. Just another way to make cruising more affordable!

I have looked at the Verizon awards a lot more closely lately and recently used points for a rental. There are a lot of different things the points can be used for to help with expenses.

cruizinisthebest Posted December 9, 2015 #1100 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yup. I have used the points for alot of things including car rental vouchers, hotel reservations, my local pancake house 20% discount. We use that one at least twice a month. Lol.
