AARP Gift Cards

[PokerFaceNJ]

As I have done in the past a few times, I paid off almost the entire cost of my upcoming Celebrity cruise using the AARP Gift Cards.

 

Is there any benefit to purchasing any for the actual trip?  Can I use them to pay off charges to my final bill?

Look at the disclosure for usage on the AARP site for Celebrity. Things have been changing

Call  either 800-437-3111 or 888-837-5676. Last number I believe is the Gift Card Dept. I spoke to Trevor Richards in gift cards yesterday. Celebrity will accept gift cards from third party providers like aarp or cardcash.com, however, only for the fare. No onboard purchases or deposit. I would also not recommend paying taxes and fees. These are returned to payment method in the case of cancelation.  I have been using them for several months now. Cardcash.com gives you a 45 day guarantee. But watch out, their customer service is very slow to return your money. I have been waiting now for almost four weeks for credit back to may credit card. I got bad info from Celebrity regarding onboard purchases. I was told before sailing they would accept them but once onboard they were denied. Always verify everything with Celebrity at least three times before you do anything.

BTW. AARP terms and conditions for these cards is outdated Same for Cardcash. Confirm with Celebrity current T/C.
