  1. Before I "buy" a reward card to be used at holland America website, I want to make sure I understand clearly. So do I need to buy a gift reward. Card for more money or less money than online purchase? If I am purchasing drink package for $1000 can I use 1 card worth $500 and 1 card with $200 and pay remainder with credit card?

    I called guest relations and they were unsure if it would work online and said it would not work on board ??

     

    quote=mamiamjo;53413244]Be careful when using these. I used my reward points to get a $500 card that I thought I'd use to pay for most of our Cheers Package cost. When I tried using this online, it wouldn't work like a gift card (there is no PIN, it has a CVV number like an Amex Credit Card). I called Carnival to see if they could assist. I was told to enter it online like an Amex credit card. Unfortunately, it wouldn't allow me to make a partial payment for Cheers. The Carnival rep said they could make partial payments on two Visas or Master Cards over the phone, but this is treated like an Amex card and they for some reason cannot do that with Amex.

     

    I was eventually able to use it online to purchase Water, Excursions and Cruise Cash, so I did get my rewards worth, but just wanted to warn everyone that you have to have the full amount of the charge available on the card in order to use it, so if you were you planning to use one for Cheers (like I had intended) be sure that you have enough points to get the full amount on your rewards card.
