Didn't even look on here, logged onto AARP rewards to get some points and behold...they were there! Already bought 5 but got one more.

I saw someone post about CCL GC on Verizon but didn't read the post - just the title - so didn't know they were talking about Verizon.

 

I clicked on AARP Rewards & was excited to see that they were available. Our B2B cruises are paid for, but I'll put 1/2 on each cruise for our S&S acct.

 

Usually, by the time I read about it, they are long gone.

Got my 1st gift cards from AARP today, checked balances and all is good!!! Yeah on saving 10% off my cruise!! ;)

[sarmat1]

Wow - the $500 cards are still available. A couple bucks cheaper than buying (5) $100 cards since you only pay one shipping charge instead of five. Thanks for bumping the thread.

It's a good thing they are available more often and for longer. And I think that 5 card limit has really helped. Gives more people a chance to buy them. I've seen people post buying 15/20 or more at a time. Especially the $100 cards!

I ordered 5 gift cards on 9/24 and then ordered 4 on 10/1. Both arrived today and to be perfectly honest the 5 would have been here yesterday but I wasn't able to be here to sign for them so from this point forward I will just split the order into two!! I'm sticking with quicker shipping and snail mail.

And they're gone! Sold out on the AARP. (For now anyway)

This is from the CC web site.............

Q: Can I receive a refund on any unused portion of the Carnival Gift Card amount that was applied towards my Sail and Sign account while onboard?

A: Any unused portion or overage of the Gift Card that was applied toward your Sail and Sign account will be issued in the form of another Carnival Gift Card

Just go to the kiosk or guest services and cash out. I used all obc and gift cards on my cruise this past August. By the time I cashed out at the end, I was using only gift card credits. I cashed out at the kiosk without issue.

Open a casino account and then cash it out, that's what I did last year. I didn't know you could get cash from the kiosks, is this new?

Cool option, did not know this was possible, so did you just use the gift cards for your S&S card?

 

If so did you do this when you embarked, you were not asked for a CC?

I had a couple hundred in obc from price drops and TA obc. The rest was gift cards. No cash. No credit cards. Same with my sister. I went to the kiosk the last night after we were finished all spending and withdrew all but $10 for St. Jude. I had gone through the obc by the last night, so yes the cash I took out was loaded from gift cards.

You don't have to remind me of that. I've been subscribed for months. Everything discussed on here is relevant to the gift cards themselves. I don't participate in every discussion although I get notification of every post.

I found the list subscriptions but didn't find the next step. Where and how do you scroll from there?

I use the Tapatalk app on my cell phone. You can tap on any thread and click subscribe. Or unsubscribe if you want. I use a Galaxy device.

If you are using your PC, instead of that route, try this:

That should do it.....

All,

 

Sorry to trigger your email notifications, but I had a question regarding using a GC to purchase things from the Fun Shops. I just made my booking and am looking into possibly purchasing more GCs for either liquor/Cheers! program, but upon doing a test-check out on Fun Shops, it only let's me use my credit card.

 

Is the only way to use a GC for liquor/cheers!/fun shop items by applying it as OBC and purchase it on the ship? If so, I'll have the option of applying X amount from each GC to any given S&S account, right? For example, I have 2 people on the cruise but I have 3 $100 GCs, so I will split the GCs $150 between the two S&S accounts by doing $100 each, then $50 each from the final card.

 

If that's not the only way, what are my other options? Thank you

Maustro the Cheers package is available through the fun shops and can only be purchased ahead of time using a credit card. That's probably the one thing that I don't like about the gift cards, you can't use them to buy anything from the fun shops/bon voyage.

 

Once you load your cards onto your s&s account onboard, you can use the credits to purchase cheers or anything else onboard. ;)
