Discounted gift cards?

Yes.  Refunds go back onto the specific gift card that the funds were originally on.

Not trying to belabor the point since I haven't done this yet, but I'm wondering how they know?  Lets say I have an account with OBC from our TA, Military, Shareholder, Princess - and then I add say $200 from a gift card.  When the cruise is done and I have $100 OBC left - how do they know where that $100 came from?  I have had an issue paying for the cruise with gift cards before, and when the issue came up they refunded the money back to that card - but that's a bit different.  It's kind of like the instructions that say certain OBC can't be used for the casino etc - but they can't tell what part of my OBC I'm using in the casino.

Any OBC that is attached to your account is either non refundable or refundable.  The non refundable would be used first such as military, shareholder and from Princess.  Refundable would be used next, such as from your travel agent or yourself.  If you had 200 from your TA and another 100 you put on a card, and say you spent 150 of it.  You could get a 150 check in 12 weeks if they used your card first and then 50 from your TA.  Or, you could possibly get a 50 check and all 100 of the monies from your gift card reapplied to that card.
