Rare JamieLogical Posted September 23 #377 Share Posted September 23 (edited) 33 minutes ago, belmontcrew said: I have them in my Apple wallet. Should I still take a printed copy? Yes, they don't have a way to scan them from your Apple wallet onboard. The QR codes and such are completely useless to them. They manually enter the card numbers into their system and then have you sign the paper copy, so you need a paper copy and for them to print it at guest services is a HUGE pain in the a**. They need you to forward the email to the guest services rep, they have to print the email from one computer and then take the print out over to another computer to enter the codes.

Yes, guest services needs a paper copy for their accounting/records. If you are able you can email to guest services on board and they can print .

MacMadame Posted September 24 #380 Share Posted September 24 I have been trying to buy Princess gift cards all morning. I keep getting technical difficulties no matter what CC I use. Just venting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should *ALWAYS* take a printed copy with you if you plan on trying to redeem it/them at guest services. They will require a printed copy for them to keep. Personally, I would play it safe and take 2 copies along so that I have "proof" after the fact that I *had* a gift card to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I ended up doing. I didn't want the pressure of having to spend that much OBC. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted Sunday at 08:10 PM #384 Share Posted Sunday at 08:10 PM And here it is close to the end of the month and I'm not seeing the GCs for Princess now. Can see all the other usual suspects, Carnival, RCL, Holland, etc. but no Princess. Tried logging out, clearing all cookies and site data, logging back in and still no joy. I wonder if there's a monthly limit to how many GCs they can sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it is just a monthly limit or a glitch or something.... 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there's a monthly limit to how many GCs they can sell? Possibly. Don’t show any available either. Try after the 1st of October. This happens periodically and I don’t remember if it’s related to the end of the month, or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngrund Posted Sunday at 09:20 PM #387 Share Posted Sunday at 09:20 PM The other day I still saw the $100's (no $500) but they were marked as sold out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familycruzer11 Posted Sunday at 09:33 PM #388 Share Posted Sunday at 09:33 PM Just tried to buy some for September and there are no Princess cards available to buy - does not even show up on the search (even a sold out would make more sense). Will try 10/1, but this messes me up for final payment as I wait for the credit card cycle, which is on the 29th of every month. Can't do that anymore... I do see other cruise lines, so I am in the right place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiselivin1 Posted Sunday at 11:36 PM #389 Share Posted Sunday at 11:36 PM I bought a few $500's and a few $100's on the 24th. They we certainly available then and expect they may have sold out their "allotment" since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COTINGEY Posted Monday at 01:24 AM #390 Share Posted Monday at 01:24 AM I had some in my cart from several weeks ago. Just for giggles I went and checked to see if they were still there and this is what my cart shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted Monday at 12:24 PM #391 Share Posted Monday at 12:24 PM (edited) This is a post from AARP on their community forum from last June. "AARPConsumerCare Community Concierge 06-11-2024 01:15 PM since the Princess gift cards are so popular, we can't keep them on the digital shelf. If you don't see them in our catalog, please check back periodically as we add more inventory. - Zainab M" Edited Monday at 12:24 PM by Daniel A 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beg3yrs Posted Monday at 04:46 PM #397 Share Posted Monday at 04:46 PM I just posted on a more recent thread pretty much the same thing. Only it was a "Chat" on the AARP website and the agent was not as definite about the cards being permanently gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellipooh Posted Monday at 05:26 PM #398 Share Posted Monday at 05:26 PM Wow. That’s hugely disappointing. I’ve saved so much using these cards. Fortunately for me, I’ve just finished paying off all of my upcoming cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANCING GRANDMOMMY Posted Monday at 05:45 PM #399 Share Posted Monday at 05:45 PM According to AARP's website they no longer have access to Princess gift cards. I'm so sad. My Alaska cruise next year just became $1600.00 more. 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruz4Sun Posted Monday at 06:12 PM #400 Share Posted Monday at 06:12 PM Darn, I just signed in and checked and Princess gift cards are not available. I hope this is a temporary situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
