Gift cards

[gremlinbangles]

Princess has a Father's Day promotional. If you buy a $500.00 gift card you get a bonus $25.00 card. It's only 5% but free money is free money.

They list 2 different gift cards.

 

1. Plastic Gift Card

2. Digital Gift Card

 

Please note that the the gift cards are ONLY available for US and Canadian citizens and the Plastic Gift Card isn't available to Canadians - they must purchase the Digital Gift Card.

 

Text from the Princess site:

====================

 

At this time, Princess Cruises Gift Cards are only available for purchase by residents of the United States and Canada.

Please note that Princess Cruises Plastic Gift Cards cannot be mailed to Canada so Canadian residents wishing to purchase a Gift Card should select the Digital Card option.

Offer is applicable to orders placed from 6/16/2015 9:00AM PST to 6/21/2015 11:59PM PST, while supplies last. Princess Cruises reserves the right to terminate this promotion at any time. The $25 Promotional gift card is limited to one (1) per customer during this promotion and will be delivered to the recipient as a digital gift card only. Promotional gift card expires on 9/30/2015.

I'll have to speak with my wife tonight. We have two cruises booked and can use the cards for OBC on one and toward eventual final payment for the other one. The "bonus" card is delivered as a digital card only and expires on September 30, 2015. I'd just go ahead and apply it as OBC on my September cruise so as not to loose it.

 

$25 isn't much but it will pay for a couple of drinks. :)

I just purchased $500 in gift cards. It's not like I don't already owe Princess far more than that for my upcoming Alaska cruise. I'll take the $25 free. :)

 

Please note that, if you read all the fine print on the order page, it says you can order by using the web order OR by calling Princess. I tried to do it by calling and the Princess rep said she had tried to order for another person and they didn't get the $25 bonus card. When she investigated she was told that you MUST use the web order to get the $25 bonus card. I thanked her and ordered online where the bonus card was automagically added to my cart. I got an immediate email confirmation which also shows the bonus card.

 

If you are going to have to pay Princess money anyway you might as well get the $25 freebie.

Hi :) ! We are thinking a Oct/Nov Princess cruise since we did a Coral Princess cruise earlier this year. Hope we can cruise together once again. Enjoy your trip.

 

Thanks for posting about the gift card. Every free $25 is well spent.

I've looked for the special offer on the Princess website but have been unable to find the darn thing. Can anyone give me a hint as to where it's hiding?

(Well, no, actually, I didn't even think of that!...how come the obvious is only obvious after somebody tells you? :rolleyes:

 

Thanks, gremlin!

Lol my 1st thought was to tell you where to click but then I thought if you are not using mobile phone the website on a regular computer has different steps...so that was actually my second thought also[emoji33]

Here is the link for buying the gift cards. You must purchase the digital gift card to get the $25 bonus.

Hi,

 

I have a quick question. Can the $500 be used in the casino? I read the Faqs but it did not specifically mention the casino. Thanks in advance for your help!

Sure you can add it to your room bill and then charge the casino to your room. Just go to guest services and they can credited it.

I believe I read in the FAQ section for the gift cards that land excursions and EZ Air were excluded.

I assume they mean the tour part of a cruise tour, not regular shore excursions.

It may well be that you can't use the card to pre-pay your land excursion. Once onboard the card can be added to your folio and, at that point, can be used for anything.

:confused: Please help me be clear about how to use the $500 gift card and how to add the $25 to my OBC for our upcoming Oct 20 day Royal cruise.

 

The $25 would be digital. how do we transfer it to our Cruise OBC? please

 

Can the $500 be used for Oct cruise if we have not made final payment yet?

 

Lastly, is one $500 card the most you can purchase?

[skf]

We saw the promo & wondered how it works; but since the cards expire Sept 30 & we set sail Oct 1 it's not gonna do us any good.

The $500.00 card does not have an expiration date only the $25.00 one expires. If you haven't finished paying for your cruise use the $25.00 one first. If you finished paying use it to buy something and deliver it to your room, you can do that before the cruise.

I would use the $25 card first towards cruise then the $500 (since you want to use the one that expires first). With the digit one you just use the card number they send you. It basically the same as the plastic gift card it's just electronic or paper if u print it out.
