Cuedon Posted April 17, 2022 #27 Share Posted April 17, 2022 First- and second-party GCs tend to have longer (or no) expiration. Third-party ones may have additional conditions on them, so if you're going through things like GC exchanges, read the fine print specific to that vendor.

Astro Flyer Posted April 21, 2022 #29 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Today I received an emailed news release that HAL is now offering a Mother’s Day 10% bonus gift card through 5/8/22. With Princess being part of the HAL Group then possibly they will soon have the same offer like they did in July 2021. Show Mom the World this Mother's Day with a Holland America Line Gift Card and 10% Bonus Offer https://www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/show-mom-world-mothers-day-holland-america-line-gift-card-and-0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen Princess gift cards on the AARP site - Carnival often, and even they are hard to find now. When did you see Princess cards there?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SUESEABE Posted April 23, 2022 #31 Share Posted April 23, 2022 AARP sells Princess $500 card for $450. Also, sells Princess $100 card for $90. Both at 10% discount. Go to AARP rewards site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbeanpin Posted April 23, 2022 #35 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Was buying them from Target at 5% of but bought 4 - $500 (and soon more) from AARP for 10% off. Also you don't even need to be a paying member, just have an account set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted April 23, 2022 #36 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thanks to the folks that responded about the AARP 10% off deal. I had looked for them twice and couldn't find them - but I was looking under "Member Only" offers - and they were listed in the regular area. I just bought two $500 cards for $900 to finish paying off our cruise. Thanks again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a direct link and it only took me to the Rewards splash page. (I am not a member of AARP and prefer not to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done Carnival cards before and always needed points - but the Princess Cards did not say "Members Only" and no points involved. I received the e-cards immediately. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuedon Posted April 24, 2022 #39 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Well, I'm sold. Just signed up for AARP Rewards (free), and... Expanding on the AARP rewards T&C for Princess: Does NOT have to be an actual member of AARP. Limited to 5 GC (of seemingly any kind) 'per month'; unknown if that's 30d rolling or calendar. They also have HAL, with similar terms. This also makes it the cheapest source I know of, albeit the limited quantity is a bit of an irritation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be as soon as 90 days after receipt. However, it is easy to use the bonus card if you have a Princess cruise booked. Just call Princess and purchase OBC with the bonus card. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine show in the Cruise Personalizer under Onboard Reservations, scroll all the way down to the bottom, under Reservations and Purchases. It will show the full purchase amount even if you apply a portion to a prepurchase Shore Ex, for example.
