Carnival MasterCard holders who booked recently?

[Aelsantokie]

There is a promotion for Carnival MasterCard holders who book a cruise recently may be eligible for onboard credit. My husband and I are not eligible (I was told by a carnival rep that this is a lottery system). Anybody here actually got any OBC through this promotion?

I'm a little crestfallen to be told I'm ineligible :(

I got the same promotion. Did you log on to carnival.com/privatemastercard and enter your booking number and information? I got an email back saying to "hang tight, we are verifying your booking information."

Yeah it sucks...I am platinum and use my Carnival Mastercard all the time, yet I never get picked for any of these promos! My PVP told me about it but the fine print says SELECT VIFP and Mastercard members!

[MEOWSMURPHY]

Neither my DH or myself are eligible..I have the card use it exclusively, have taken 22 Carnival cruises and NADA..we are ineligible :mad:

[SkyMaster]

Yep, me too! I've got two cruises that I just booked, and paid for with my Carnival MasterCard, but I guess I'm just not a good enough customer?

It says I'm NOT ELIGIBLE? (I HATE when that happens.):mad:

 

"SKY"

[PittsburghGirlee]

I tried all 3 of my groups VIFP numbers....but....NO GO :(

DRATS

[AndrewD65]

I got my Carnival MasterCard after I paid for my cruise in full.. :-( guess I will try next time.

[txlonghorn]

I did what OutlawJosey did. I just booked last Fri for a cruise leaving 2/1.

Just tried my wife's and my numbers and we don't qualify. Bummer

[FlaMilkman]

Grrrr - We are Platinum members on Carnival, have sailed on the Ecstasy in October and the Breeze in December and placed a deposit for a cruise in November (all on the Carnival Mastercard) and are not eligible for this promotion. This is our primary credit card and provide the company with plenty of business throughout the year. I wonder what their criteria for selection is????

 

I hope that someone at the Carnival Mastercard home office happens to read this thread. What might have started out as a good idea may quickly devolve into a headache if more loyal cardholders find out about it.

[FlaMilkman]

Never find - went on the website and read the small print . . . .

 

The promotion is only for cruises between 3/1/14 and 8/31/14. Consequently my cruise in November doesn't qualify. :mad:

 

Saves me a phone call to the credit card company later this morning :D

The worthless Carnival Master Card strikes again lol.

[MCC retired]

Yes it stinks, only the one that received the email may apply and then not only must it be booked between certain dates , but sailing dates are restricted.:mad:
