dacsmom Posted October 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2016 http://www.aarp.org/rewards-for-good 10% off gift cards, same as the Verizon program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohiowilly Posted October 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's a program through AARP's web site where you can occasionally purchase Carnival gift cards at 10% off face value. to qualify to buy the cards, you earn points on the AARP site by taking various retirement, health, and finance related quizzes. When available, $500 cards can be bought for $450, and $100 cards for $90. It's an excellent deal. We buy them whenever they're available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandkps Posted October 22, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 22, 2016 are these mailed to you? if so, about how long does it take to get them? We cruise in 34 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby0704 Posted October 23, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 23, 2016 are these mailed to you? if so, about how long does it take to get them? We cruise in 34 days Yes they are mailed however if you order 500.00 or more at the same time it will come UPS and requires a signature so someone needs to be home. I have always got mine in 7-10 days. You have to redeem points you earn by logging into the website and also taking quizzes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhJinkies Posted October 23, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Can I actually use this card to pay for my cruise, or is it only for use once on board? Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NM Cruiser Posted October 23, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes. You can do either. Carnival is really quite good with gift cards... unlike some other unnamed cruise lines (like that one that begins with Royal...). I believe you cannot use the gift card for additions to your booking such as beverage packages, fun shops purchases, etc, but once you're on board you can use the gift cards for anything going on your onboard account.

zookeeper Posted October 23, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 23, 2016 So if I purchase two $500 cards for $400, I could then use them to pre-pay online for the booze package? Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you cannot use them to pre-purchase the Cheers package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
