loganvillemommy Posted February 12, 2016 #1026 Share Posted February 12, 2016 By the way, my Carnival PVP confirms that, even if you've already paid your deposit with a credit card, you can back that out and replace it with gift cards as long as you have made enough payments to cover the amount of your deposit. Basically, if your deposit is $500, make sure you have at least $500 additional paid when you do this transaction. Make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that with the GCs I purchased two weeks ago and it seemed to work fine. Just waiting for my CC to be credited back, which I know takes a week or so.

4Ollies Posted February 12, 2016 #1031 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Darn I missed them. Have to get in the habit of checking early each morning I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganvillemommy Posted February 12, 2016 #1032 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) I'm surprised that they let us do this with the deposit, but glad. Edited February 12, 2016 by loganvillemommy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has confirmed if that will work or not. But if you aren't past that date, I don't see why they wouldn't since you could still cancel at that point if needed. I just missed my final payment date of about 5 days of receiving my last batch of cards. It was a last minute type cruise booking but still would have been nice to use. I decided to just go ahead and stock up for OBC and cruise in November. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you owe $300 on your balance and use a $500 gift card, the payment system will only deduct $300. The remaining $200 will remain on your gift card and you can use it for whatever else you like.

butterflys Posted February 12, 2016 #1036 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Darn I missed them. Have to get in the habit of checking early each morning I guess. If you live on the west coast, checking late at night is best. This is the second time I have caught them late at night. They are usually gone before the west coast wakes up in the morning.

loganvillemommy Posted February 12, 2016 #1037 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks to all the posters who originally started this thread. I would never have been aware of this. I saved $265 on this cruise. That's huge! Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingRaysfan Posted February 13, 2016 #1039 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) I am new to this aarp thing and need help. This morning at 5 am I got online and saw the 100 dollars ones were available and snagged two. (Showing sold out now) Paid for them but didnt get a confirmation page, instead it took me back to the beginning of the purchase process. Is that normal? I also notice that no points have been deducted from my account yet.... Normal? I almost paid for them again but checked my bank account and saw the money taken out.... when do I get a confirmation they got it? How long does it take it get them? so excited I found some anyway!

Doesn't seem like it. How to check: Once you're in the "Reedem Points" for Rewards for Good, look to the very top and you'll see "Account". Click on your account and you should see a transaction, the click, View Details and it will show your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolavix Posted February 13, 2016 #1042 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sigh, now I guess I get to figure out how to get my money back... This stinks I'm sorry this happened to you. I would start with calling AARP and seeing if they have an electronic record somewhere that they tapped into your bank account for the money. It might involve someone with the IT department, because I'm guessing that regular customer service is going to tell you what you already know...that they see no record of your transaction.

loganvillemommy Posted February 13, 2016 #1043 Share Posted February 13, 2016 That happened to me once, but it was because my credit card company declined the transaction because it was "suspicious." Once I verified it with them, the transaction completed. Call your cc company and see if they put a hold on it.

StingRaysfan Posted February 13, 2016 #1044 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Well, the money was refunded to my bank account on its own. Thankfully. Loganvillemommy, that could very well be what happened, not that I can call my bank today. Lol just sad I'm out my gift card deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganvillemommy Posted February 14, 2016 #1045 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Glad you got your money back! It looks like the gift cards will show up again in a couple of weeks. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
