New Carnival Referral Promotion

[GAMOM4]

This may have already been posted and I may have missed it - but my PVP got in touch with me Friday and told that there is a new Referral Promotion that is going on where if you refer someone and they book a cabin with Carnival (a person that has never booked before or someone that hasn't been on Carnival since 2000) that you can receive a $50 Carnival Gift Card with no limit on the number you can receive. This is only going on from August 1 - September 8th. I had referred a group of high school seniors and they booked on August 1st .... since I didn't know about the program until August 2nd....I am not going to get those 6 cabins..that seems really unfair....but they told me that 3 more were booked this week and Carnival already has it logged in the system...because I just pulled it up. You receive the gift cards 2 weeks before they sail (I think) I have all the details of the promotion.

 

I am going to try and send an e-mail or something and see isn't there anyway that I can get credit for the other 6 cabins...because they know that I did refer them and they know that they have booked. But anyway....I have $150.00 in gift cards coming now (well in May of 2014)...

 

Wish this would have been going on 2 months ago because I referred 2 other couples that both booked a cabin....

 

Just wanted everyone to know about the promotion in case you didn't already.

Doesnt seem fair you dont get credit for your referrals this month.

 

Thanks for sharing, hadnt heard of this before

[GAMOM4]

I figured that the reason he called to tell me about the program was that he knew that they were planning on booking some cabins because they had called them .. on Friday I didn't even realize that they had booked on the 1st....I was really excited when I found that out. So I naturally thought that was the reason for him letting me know. And he said that he did try to get me credit for them but they wouldn't let him. This was what he typed me.

 

Carnival will not do the others because they were booked before the program started. Carnival will not back date bookings sorry, I tried.

These are the terms & Conditions.... I highlighed the part in red...

So glad you posted this! One of my co-workers has been looking at taking a cruise for her 10th wedding anniversary and has been talking with me a lot about the ships, ports, etc. She is definitely booking the Freedom for February within about a week. I just submitted my referral for her. So hopefully I will have gift card in hand for my cruise on the Sunshine next year :)

If I can figure out how I could post the actual flyer he emailed me...it has the blanks where you type in their name and a phone number or an e-mail and yours ... and once they book it shows up....like I said I already have the 3 names on mine that booked on Monday and I didn't even fill it out the PVP did :)

[GAMOM4]

This is the best I could do copy & pasting it .... where the 2 blocks with x are .. on the form the top one says I want to refer a friend and the bottom one says I want to claim a referral reward.

 

 

You know how much fun a Carnival® cruise is. And you know people who deserve to have some fun on the high seas.

Get started today and refer your friends and family members. You will receive a $50 Carnival gift card for each qualifying referral booking.

Well that didn't turn out to good....it wouldn't let me post it to start off with because it said it had 10 pictures in it..I deleted everything from the Carnival Logo to Share the Fun to Please Provide.....anyway .. I deleted and deleted and it ended up jumbled up....

[luv2cruise3411]

I am ticked that my PVP did not tell me about this. I called her up last week and told her I was referring a friend to her and no mention of this.

Thanks for the information though, but also too late since they already booked.

[GAMOM4]

They said it didn't come out until Friday....which I don't understand since the date of it beginning was Thursday the 1st.....but I really do think if my referrals booked 6 cabins on the 1st ... I could understand it they booked on the July 31st... but anyway....I sumitted a request .....

[echo]

Great....... I just referred 4 cabins on July 29.

[BananaAnna]

What does nvm mean?

 

never mind

[gusandgidgetsmom]

I had heard that it was a trial thing. Maybe all PVP's aren't participating. I know that the meeting was not until last week so probably for the poster that was upset her PVP didn't tell her/him,they probably hadn't heard yet and every program has to have a start date.

[LadyDAC]

How can you take advantage of a program you don't know exists? I had friends book a cruise with me but found out about this promotion one day after they booked it. AND I had spoken with my PVP via the phone regarding a price drop and he never mentioned the program! Carnival is refusing to give me the credit because I asked for it one day after my friend booked.

What did did they book their cruise?

This may have already been posted and I may have missed it - but my PVP got in touch with me Friday and told that there is a new Referral Promotion that is going on where if you refer someone and they book a cabin with Carnival (a person that has never booked before or someone that hasn't been on Carnival since 2000) that you can receive a $50 Carnival Gift Card with no limit on the number you can receive. This is only going on from August 1 - September 8th. I had referred a group of high school seniors and they booked on August 1st .... since I didn't know about the program until August 2nd....I am not going to get those 6 cabins..that seems really unfair....but they told me that 3 more were booked this week and Carnival already has it logged in the system...because I just pulled it up. You receive the gift cards 2 weeks before they sail (I think) I have all the details of the promotion.

 

I am going to try and send an e-mail or something and see isn't there anyway that I can get credit for the other 6 cabins...because they know that I did refer them and they know that they have booked. But anyway....I have $150.00 in gift cards coming now (well in May of 2014)...

 

Wish this would have been going on 2 months ago because I referred 2 other couples that both booked a cabin....

 

Just wanted everyone to know about the promotion in case you didn't already.

 

I knew and already have 50 bucks , my friend just moved here from Va and her and her mom just booked their first Carnival cruise

That's odd my friend booked last week and my pvp called me on Tuesday to tell me about the program and that I had earned the 50 dollar gift card and I didn't know about the program

[GAMOM4]

Won't you get your $50.00 Gift Card 2 weeks before they cruise? That is what the rules said....I got the confirmation that I have 3 $50 gift cards for the cabins the people booked this week....and I will get them in May two weeks before they cruise...but I can pull up on the form that they are there :) (just wish I could get the other 6 that were booked on Thursday .... this is all the same group of people that are going)

[Travel*Bug]

Ha! I just 'referred' 6 people that all booked today for a cruise I am going on (I was already booked). I am going to fill that out IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

Wahoo!!!!

[lollylew]

Oh I am sooo gonna have to call my PVP tomorrow about this! Just booked a family reunion cruise and one of the cabins has two people who have never been on Carnival before so that would be a $50 gift card!:p:D

[cjknox]

This is a very good idea, thanks for sharing.

[2addicted2xmas]

The same thing happened to me, my friend booked the night before I called my pvp and she told me about the promo but I could not get credit for my friend who had booked 8 hours before. I have more friends who booked how can I tell if I got credit for them?

[echo]

My PVP is not ebing very forth coming. He is my new PVP, guess I'll be finding a new one. Kind of ticks me off I got 6 cabins booked under him.

[tkportersat]

This is annoying......I can't even tell you have many people I have referred over the years. You're welcome Carnival :(
