Me too! Been waiting for weeks. Cruise a week away. Yay!

I apologize if this has already been explained, but how does this work? I have Verizon and don't want to miss out on any cruise perk it might get for me! :p

Simply a money saver. A $100 gift card is $90+points. I paid for the cruise, tips, Cheers and my other expenses all with gift cards on this past cruise meaning I saved 10% across the board.

Thanks! Just got mine.

Are points earned automatically or is it something I need to sign up for on the website?

I did not know I even had points until I saw posts on CC back in June before my August Cruise. If you pay your Verizon Wireless bill online, there is a link for the Smart Rewards. I signed up and there were about 35,000 points already sitting there. I am not sure exactly how you earn, but I know my initial amount was based on how long I'd had service.

With Verizon they are earned automatically. Some CC's, such as Citibank, offer the same thing with their rewards programs.

Ok, so I signed on and saw that I have 99000+ points. And I see where I can buy a gift card at a 10% discount, but is there a way to use more points and make it free?

[bambilin]

Nope! [emoji29]

Nope! [emoji29]

 

Bummer. I may collect a few before our trip next summer though - 10% is 10%! :D Love having the on board account zero out at the end of the cruise! Between this and my CCL credit card I may just have a really good head start!

I wanted to follow up and say that I immediately got a fraud alert email from Bank of America after placing my order. I had to call to let them know I'd ordered them.

You sign up for Verizon Smart Rewards if you haven't already when you log into your account at VZW. The only way I know how to navigate to it once that is done is from the main screen where it says on the top left about your balance and "Redeem now". Click that, then over on the far right x out the irritating pop up about a sweepstakes no one wins, and you'll find travel gift cards under that.

 

Then you purchase the gift cards at 10% below face value. You can use them to pay your cruise balance, pay for excursions, fun shops, etc. Then if you buy extra you can apply them to your sail and sign. I purchased $2000 worth last month and so I saved $200. not a bad deal!

Are they available with pre-pay plans?

[AngAndBoys]

THANK YOU!!! I have been watching and waiting for these! Got a couple to pay off upcoming cruises and got my spending money for April. Woohoo!!!

[mabryhouse]

I have been waiting weeks for this and checking every day. We leave in 2 days and now we are set!

[wannago30]

Thank you for posting! I have been waiting to pay off my upcoming cruise with these. I just bought $3,600 in cards!! That's $360 I saved!! That will help with spending cash for this next cruise!!!!

Just want to double check before I purchase and save $200 on our upcoming cruise. The e gift cards are the ones that can be applied to payment for an already booked cruise. I know before that there is something there that only works for cruises you book through them.

Yes...cruise certificates are the ones with the conditions.

Just bought a $500 egift card.

 

If u should happen to have to cancel your cruise that is paid for with the gift cards I assume u would receive a refund in a gift card?

[prmrolltide]

I got a $500 ! Nice to save $50 for on board spending :)
