ANONOMUS_1 Posted June 14, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Trying to use Carnival gift cards with a TA! Is there a TA that has used Carnival gift cards as payment on a cruise? My TA is asking me for an expiration date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted June 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Trying to use Carnival gift cards with a TA! Is there a TA that has used Carnival gift cards as payment on a cruise? My TA is asking me for an expiration date! Your TA must be confused. I do know that on the Carnival website, and when speaking to my PVP, that there is a "different" place to enter gift card information. He/she must be trying to put the gift card into the credit card area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tea4ular Posted June 14, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Our TA called Carnival to apply our cards last year. Took moments. Edited June 14, 2016 by tea4ular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANONOMUS_1 Posted June 16, 2016 Author #4 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks! I'm still waiting for a reply or an invoice. This is why I like to use a PVP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising maniac Posted June 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks! I'm still waiting for a reply or an invoice. This is why I like to use a PVP! I hope you got some OBC from your TA when you booked to make it worth the hassle. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bases5 Posted June 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2016 I called my Gift cards in yesterday to my TA. Everything was done in 10 minutes, Easy. Yes my extra $300 obc is worth having a TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuff_Said Posted June 16, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Why not just go online to your Carnival dot com account and apply them yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnorris10 Posted June 16, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Why not just go online to your Carnival dot com account and apply them yourself? If your using a TA you can't the TA has to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richfret Posted June 16, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2016 BNORRIS10 is right. Once you use a TA, they have to do any payment issues. My TA has paid for deposits and final payments with my gift cards and it is no problem at all. I just give the TA the gift card number and the code number located on the right side face of the gift card. I get a cruise credit from the TA and also get 10 percent off using gift cards from AARP, Verizon or Publix. Talk about a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANONOMUS_1 Posted June 17, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I informed my TA of what you guys posted and now my gift cards have been applied to my account. Just to answer some questions: Carnival will NOT have anything to do with your booking if you used a TA. I have NEVER received an OBC from my TA which is why I stopped using him for years. He claims his rates are already low. Which they were for this particular cruise. I usually book through Carnival.com early saver and watch for price drops. It's actually kinda fun watching your OBC grow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
