**Urgent** Credit card, Gift Card, Cash

[sweets2323]

So I’m very confused. My cruise is today and when I called carnival they told me I can only have one source of funding on my Sail and Sign card.

 

Cash

Credit card

Gift card

 

I thought I would have a credit card on my account as back up then load my sail and sign card with the gift cards and or cash.

 

Please explain if can.

I used my credit card to back my account in March but was still able to apply $800 in gift cards to my account .

Have your Credit Card on it, but after you board you can apply gift cards and cash. As you spend money on your sign and sail card, it should take from the gift cards and cash, then from your credit card.

 

Enjoy your cruise!!

Exactly. To the OP, I hope you have a great cruise.

I know on the Vista, I started with a cash account with GC applied to it. When we hit that limit, there was a Kiosk that I used to add some more funds, so as not to have many holds placed on the card.

Exactly. You don’t even need to go to GS. Just use the kiosk. You can only START with one form of payment.

Start it with a CC and then add the other on board which will give you a + balance.

I had them apply my gift cards right at check in, before boarding the ship. I also had OBC and used my credit card as backup once I used up the OBC and GC.

You also do not have to apply your gift cards at the beginning of your cruise, you can do it at the end. That way you don't have to keep running to GS to apply them or going to a kiosk. 1 trip to GS and be done with it.
