To be clear, you buy Carnival gift cards from AARP. This will (1) get you a 10% discount and (2) enable those who have trouble keeping cash to permanently designate funds for their vacation without the ability to spend it on other things.

I don't see any Carnival gift cards listed on AARP. Do they come and go like it was with Verizon?

Yes, they do, but I see them available now. Also, be sure that you are on the Rewards for Good site for AARP.

I have no trouble saving cash without spending it on other things. Why would I not want to save $250 on my $2,500 cruise fare, port fees, and gratuities. Seems smarter to me to do that pay full price like you obviously do!!!

Yes, 10% off face value. Its free money. kinda like buying something on sale instead of paying full price. That's Why. I pay my entire cruise balance with gift cards. 10% savings. I use gift cards for my Sail & Sign card. Paid $900 but actually have $1000 OBC $100 of free alcohol or pop or 3 eat free at the steakhouse or $100 free milkshakes or $100 free specialty coffee's or $100 of free casino fun and so on and so on and so on. Like someone said above $2500 cruise price and use gift cards to pay for it that's $250 savings that I could buy two $100 cards for $180 then add $20 extra in the pot for a 3rd $100 card and now I just turned that free $250 into $300 for only $20. anyone lost yet? LOL. ITS FREE MONEY, WHY NOT!?

I am getting gift cards with points from American Express. I charged part of my cruise and got 7500 points. As a result a 100.00 card was only 2500 points. Can't beat that.

Bully for you. Not everyone has your restraint and appreciate the way gift cards help them budget and compartmentalize their money.

What??? I NEVER pay full price, always get the 10% off. That is MY primary reason for purchasing the gift cards.

 

I think maybe you should go read my post again before you get so snippy.

Because I saved over 500.00 paying off our cruise, tips and excursions.

Do I have to be an AARP member for this?

Allstate also has these cards at 10% off. They come and go also. I bought a couple when I could last month. Received them and applied with no issues.

 

You do not have to be a member of either. I signed up for both sites.

 

Being new to the site, I am enjoying all the great advice!

No. You simply sign up at the AARP Rewards for Good site.
