Rare seagunthera Posted April 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 16, 2022 How do you use gift cards on Princess? Are they able to be added to OBC or can you use them to purchase spa, etc. online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see one at Valentine's and I thought that was a guarantee. I am tempted to buy some more at MD if they have the 10% promo so I have enough to pay off our voyages. I see us going ahead for sure as the prices we are booked at for October (both PCL and EZ-Air) are not likely to be seen again and we also have bonus money down and pre-existing gift card funds tied up.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted April 16, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I bought a bunch of gift cards and applied them to my cruise. I am not sure I would do it again at this time. The bonus was nice, but Princess is too unstable for me right now. Getting back the credit if a cruise is cancelled is fine. You will lose the bonuses since they have expiration dates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased cards with the 10% bonus which were used for our just completed cruises. After that cruise experience won’t decide until final payment whether to keep or to cancel our October cruises. Like you that cruise & EZair fares are good but don’t want to have unused cards if we decide to take a cruise break hoping for better experiences sometime in the future. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also call Princess or your TA to have them applied to your booking or to purchase OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continue to expect improvements in next six months. I think we have to go and hope for the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadn13 Posted April 16, 2022 #11 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It may have been a fluke but I was refunded the full gift card amount including bonuses that had expired. (the bonus came separately in an email so It was easy to track that card as the bonus) I immediately turned around and applied the bonus to a different cruise just in case it was a mistake. Perhaps it was part of the cruise with confidence 🤷🏻♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the only change in 2022 was that it would come back as FCC. Am I misled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our bonuses are applied against cruise invoice at this point, so I doubt our GC's will be refunded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though there appear to be purchase limits for RC@Target... I'm trying to pin down the exact limit, but I think it's something around 1500/week. (Or maybe just 3 of each tier.) Trying to get significant amounts of GCs in fairly short order is an exercise in futility. Edited April 16, 2022 by Cuedon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bronzey214 Posted April 17, 2022 #21 Share Posted April 17, 2022 If anyone lives near a Giant Eagle, they have Princess gift cards and (if I am doing the math correctly), when you switch to their new myPerks program, until tomorrow, they are giving 5x perks on all items. Which, again - assuming correct math, is 10% off gift cards (Princess is available $25-$500 in some stores and online) AND, if you have a card which gives money back at grocery stores AND you have a store near you, you can get more. If everything ends up good - I think I got 16% off (well, 16% "back") (10% from Giant Eagle and 6% from my American Express Blue Cash Preferred) (just don't pounce if I am wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy them on a promotion from PCL, the bonus amount will have an expiry date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
