Carnival Gift Card Purchase

[crysanne]

Not sure of Michigan retailers, but larger grocery stores may have them. They finally got them in my smaller Kroger store. I've also seen them in Lowe's, a home improvement store.

bought my Carnival gift e-cards on Amazon, using My Discover cash back money, cost me a few pennies on the dollar;)

Great. I am going to check these options out!

 

 

So, just to verify....I can use the Carnival gift cards to pay our final payment correct? If I have some left I can add them to our onboard account to use while cruising?

Yes. And just so you know I have bought the Carnival Gift Cards through Newegg when Amex was running a special so they are legit. I do all my payments and onboard spending exclusively with Gift Cards.

 

Let me know what you end up doing!

I just did a search for the gift cards on Newegg and search results are zero.

They are there. Go to Newegg.com. Type in "Carnival gift card" in the search bar. They are available in $50, $100, $150, and $200 amounts.

I have found the gift cards on ebay via Paypal gifts. It says the code is emailed. Is there a spot on the Carnival website when logged in to apply the code or must I call to CCL?

You can apply them online under payments, but I always call. I think there is a limit of 6 at a time when doing it online.

"To purchase a gift card ("Digital Gift") from the PayPal Digital Gifts store ("Store") you must have a valid U.S. PayPal account."

I did and the link works. The gift cards are available on .com but not .ca. I was able to register as a member and add one to my cart but as soon as I try to pay via my paypal account it tells me the payment method is not available to me. (I guess it knows it is a CAD account even though I have USD funds)

Does anyone know if you get 6 months interest free if you buy these through PayPal?

Well, darn.

My husband just found a thread on the CCL forum that people are discussing that Canadians cannot buy the gift gards. One theory is that it is illegal to sell gift cards with a monetary value with an expiry date.
