OCMama Posted March 31, 2016 #126 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I love saving money as much as anybody, but I'm on the fence about getting these gift cards. I already have $125 from onboard credit and the last discount. How much does everyone spend onboard? I'm doing the very port intensive itinerary from San Juan with only 1 sea day, so it's hard to gauge how much we will spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCMama Posted March 31, 2016 #127 Share Posted March 31, 2016 me too. seriously. I'll try again in a little while. Never works for me. Guess I'll stick with Verizon and AARP.:( I've heard about the gift cards from Verizon, but haven't seen them yet. How often do they pop up?

DisneyDatknee Posted March 31, 2016 #128 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Keeps rejecting my PayPal account?? Anyone else have this problem?? I've tried 3 accounts and it won't work. EDIT: Nevermind! Use desktop mode on your phone or a computer because the app gave me so many problems.

DisneyDatknee Posted March 31, 2016 #130 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Me too. I tried for about 45 minutes and finally gave up. Are you using the app or mobile version online? Try using a desktop. It worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlfamily405 Posted March 31, 2016 #131 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Can someone explain how to use these e-gift cards? I have already paid for my cruise - so I can't use it on that. Will I have to stand in line at the desk once on board? if it's an e-gift card, do I need to have it printed? or can I show it on my phone? these may be dumb questions, but I really don't know. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will apply them at the port, at GS, or at a self service kiosk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruizinisthebest Posted March 31, 2016 #135 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I've heard about the gift cards from Verizon, but haven't seen them yet. How often do they pop up? Usually once maybe twice a month. And no set pattern. And for a tedious as it is getting those, I think this is worse for those it won't work for, because it doesn't make any sense. You add them to the cart, you should be able to check out! And at this point I've tried everything. Just won't work. Maybe folks with success are heavy paypal users. I only use my paypal account ocassionally although I did just buy something with it on Monday. Entirely annoying.:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I forgot you could pay the cruise balance with these cards, so I'm going to stock up as much as I can until final payment is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring a printed spreadsheet with all card numbers and their PINs. I either hand it to guest services or use the kiosk. But I usually have quite a few "e-cards."

jocko4279 Posted March 31, 2016 #142 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Gracias! Just snagged $75 for $60. That will pretty much pay off $80 balance for upcoming cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always check out using PayPal Credit. I'm not sure if that's how everyone else is doing it. Do you have a PPC account set up? Just trying to think of reasons why you're having such a hard time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccw2891 Posted March 31, 2016 #144 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I finally got in on the Ebay flash sale. Purchased one for me and my husband using our eBay account.

BlondeKajun Posted March 31, 2016 #145 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We buy them on eBay @ discount all the time. Tip: go through southwest rapid rewards portal first & get extra SW points in addition to discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyboutdisney Posted March 31, 2016 #150 Share Posted March 31, 2016 It just worked for me!! Got a $75 for $60. How often do they do this? Do you just have to keep checking to see if they are available or do you somehow get a notice? I have never heard of it and was a little hesitant to do it.
