christyran1228 Posted August 14, 2018 #26 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thanks. Now that I have found it and see that it can be used to pay for the cruise, Can it be used over the phone to pay for it through a TA or do you have to book direct with CCL? It works the same as a Carnival gift card you'd purchase anywhere. You might want to confirm with TA before you purchase. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzincat50 Posted August 14, 2018 #27 Share Posted August 14, 2018 They will mail you a gift card with the remaining balance. How long does that take to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katibug Posted August 14, 2018 #28 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yes. And you can purchase a $500 GC for $450 and 5,000 points. We paid our entire cruise with four $500s and a few $100s. Saved hundreds. Question from a new person. :) Can you pay for excursions with multiple gift cards? Or do you need to have ONE gift card with more than the excursion cost available? We need "about" $270 to cover our desired excursion and gratuities, so we'd prefer not to buy $500. Has anyone else dealt with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbart2121 Posted August 14, 2018 #29 Share Posted August 14, 2018 How long does that take to arrive? I've received cards within 2-3 days after the cruise a couple different times. Not exactly sure on how long it was but it was very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else dealt with this? You would just deposit them into your sign and sail account when you get on board. Someone else might know if you can do that by online checkin before you board. I know you can set up a credit card to cover your charges that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use multiple gift cards to purchase everything online at Carnival.com ... many have done this, and I verified with the Fun Shops. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim and Monika Posted August 14, 2018 #33 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I've gotten myself (not an AARP member) over 13,000 points in the past month just by doing the quizzes and entering the daily promo code from email. 10% off is nothing to sneeze at! Quick question, can you please explain the extra points for entering the daily promo code? I signed up for the daily emails, but have yet to see a code. Thanks, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ddefrancisci Posted August 15, 2018 #35 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I got a $500 giftcard and an email receipt/confirmation, but no email detailing how and when I will receive the giftcard. Before I order more I want to make sure I get the first one in time since my balance is due in a few weeks. Does anyone know? I didn't get any message about the option for an e-giftcard or snail mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPS wasn't able to deliver it to me (I wasn't home) so I picked it up at the store location that it was held at.

tw67 Posted August 15, 2018 #39 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I am waiting for the $500 ecard to be replenished! I could always buy the card and have it mailed to me, but being home to sign for it is the hard thing! I will just check each morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusLane Posted August 16, 2018 #40 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Just an update. I just checked a few minutes ago because I'm stalking the site as well for the $100 cards. Aarp replenished the $100 Giftcards but not the Ecards yet. Also, I forgot to add any amount over $500 will require a signature, Not just the $500 card. Happy cruising!

manduh Posted August 16, 2018 #41 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Question. I got an emailed gift card and have a couple hundred dollars left. Can I just take the number and pin and have it applied split between our folios once we get on board? Wasn’t sure since it didn’t have a “physical” card to take. Thought about doing cruise cash but they are only in $25 increments and I don’t want to leave money on the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser_1977 Posted August 16, 2018 #42 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Looks like we're awaiting restock on the $100 cards. Dangit! Side story: I'm using this cruise as a motivational tool to help me quit smoking. Every time I reach $90 in money not spent, I'm buying a $100 gift card. I booked my next cruise for December 2019, and intend to have the cruise, cheers package, and a couple of excursions paid off all by not smoking. I've got an app that shows me my up to date progress on that - I'm at $105 right now, and I *really* want to buy that card as my reward for sticking with it. So I'm crabby, and impatient, and thank you for letting me vent. What a great idea! Congrats and keep at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to splitting between two folios, I'm not sure why that would matter if both folios are on the same S&S account (i.e. charges from both folios end up on the same account, same final statement).

We leave Monday and I have been looking all week for the Ecards to come back in stock. No time to get a real one. Oh well...at least I paid for the cruise with the ecards I got from them months ago.
