Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Due to strict X gift card redemption rules, maximum saving is $100 per stateroom and X Gift Cards CANNOT be used in the cruise planner or as an OBC, can ONLY be used for bookings. You need a $12 AARP membership, you would buy two $500 gift cards ($1,000) for $900 hence the $100 savings. This may work for some but this clearly not for everyone X's gift card rules/T&Cs: https://celebritycorporatekit.com/content/uploads/2017/06/GiftCardTCs.cleandocx.pdf URL: https://www.aarp.org/rewards/redeem/#sort-by=default I searched and didn't see anything mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this idea as well, but no need to sign up with AARP. Cardcash actually has these same gift cards at 14% off ($140 savings per sailing). One thing to consider is the fact they are not cash and therefore cannot be reimbursed through a travel insurance claim. Although, the Celebrity Cruisecare 90% cancel for any reason future cruise credit benefit might still apply? Another thing to note is that refunds to the gift card cannot be processed after final payment date. Other than that, these are a good way to save a little bit when paying for your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted November 11, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I realized I forgot to list NEW bookings only although in some cases you could cancel and rebook if the pricing makes sense. 43 minutes ago, NorthStarStateCruiser said: I had this idea as well, but no need to sign up with AARP.

Thanks for sharing as you'll save an extra $40 or $140 total on $1,000. Often these gift card reselling sites do not have ample inventory but it appears there's plenty on Cardcash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
