CTnewcruiser Posted April 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I have been trying to purchase a gift card from the Carnival site and every time my purchase gets cancelled. Does anyone know why this might be happening or where else I can find them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted April 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2021 For long term planning check the Allstate topic and the AARP topic on this thread. To buy some in the near future, some retail establishments have offered them in the past. I think I remember people mentioning Krogers, Publix, and maybe Home Depot.

RWolver672 Posted April 17, 2021 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2021 This is just me but I would think twice about buying a Carnival Gift Card right now. At this point, nobody knows when cruising will restart. Your money could be tied up for quite a while. Then if you decide to not cruise or to cruise on another line, you now have money invested in a card that you can't use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always redeemed for dining gift cards. I'll soon have enough points for a $100 Carnival gift card. Same with a Bank of America card my wife had been using.

Bank of America has excellent credit cards. Great cash back rewards. One that has excellent travel insurance included. Which card I use, depends on what I am purchasing.

That is what resolved it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you apply for it and start using it. You will get $500.00 if you charge $3000.00 in the first 90 days. Google, Bank of America Charge Cards. It is the dark gray (Black) card. It is $95.00 a year. Read all that the card gives you including the massive travel coverage it offers. Check out the additional % in rewards you get depending on how much you keep in one of their approved checking and or saving accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgn411963 Posted April 18, 2021 #10 Share Posted April 18, 2021 You can purchase Carnival gift cards at quite a few grocery stores. I have an Amex Plat card. Get 10x points at grocery stores. Recently purchased a $500 gift card at HEB here in TX.....5000 amex MR points. IMHO this is the best way to purchase card. 5k points is worth a $100 or more when redeemed for airline miles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcvtmom Posted April 18, 2021 #11 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I have also purchased Carnival gift cards at Target. I have a Target credit card, so I was able to get 5% off, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooth sailor77228 Posted April 18, 2021 #13 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I’ll sell you mine. $273 refunded from a cancelled cruise paid with the gift card balance from a previous cruise 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
