angela12345 Posted April 25, 2015 #552 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I called tonight and had them post one of the $500 gift cards to my currently booked cruise, which I had only paid the $500 deposit so far. Then I had them credit the $500 for the deposit that we had originally paid back to our Amex card. Leaves a balance of $500 paid so far, but now paid using the gift card, rather than our Amex.

kteachcruiser52 Posted April 26, 2015 #555 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I have purchased over $4,000 of them and then they disappeared. I sent an email and my reply was "Thank you for your email about the Verizon Smart Rewards program. Products and merchandise many"sale" out fast. What is viewable on the Smart Rewards site is what we have available. The Carnival Cruise Gift cards are currently sold out. Regretfully, we do not have an estimated time frame when merchandise will become available again. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy the other offers. If you need further assistance, please contact us directly at 1-866-962-3713.N Thank you for being a Verizon Smart Rewards member. it really does not tell you much.

beauty1492 Posted April 27, 2015 #556 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I missed out again --darn-- I see they are gone form the AARP site too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela12345 Posted April 28, 2015 #557 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) For record keeping purposes . . . Carnival gift cards were available again today around noon. They werent showing available this morning, but were during midday and were sold out by 2:20. This was $100 cards ONLY. No $500 cards were offered. The $100 cards are now showing on the website again (they had gone missing for a few days) with the Sold Out button. So that makes the recent available dates 4-10-15, 4-18-15, and 4-28-15 P.S. I didn't see them myself, or I would have reported here at the time. I saw the times reported on another thread that was started today. (evidently the other person who started the thread didn't know there was already a long post about these gift cards, LOL) Edited April 28, 2015 by angela12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they were sold out when I checked this afternoon. I'm getting either $50 or $100 from Kroger with a $10 off coupon. Have read can only get two $25 ones and heard any two.

13cheermom Posted April 30, 2015 #562 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Where did you get the $10 off Kroger coupon ?!?! Just took advantage of this today, actually if you have a Kroger rewards card and account you can go online and look at the online coupons available and load this to your reward card online. Then in the store it will automatically be on your account. I only purchased 2 - $25 cards and received the $10 off which is actually a 20% savings. My daughter also has a rewards card and did the same so we got $100 for $80, still 20% savings. The coupon expires on 5/16/15, and it can only be used once per a rewards account and you have to purchase 2 Carnival Gift cards. Good Luck finding them!

angela12345 Posted April 30, 2015 #564 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread with the Kroger gift card info. :) Awesome tip, thanks !!! I just went to Kroger and got $50 worth of Carnival gift cards for only $40. It was easy peasy. You should start a new thread on this ... "Save 20% on Carnival gift cards $50 for $40 at KROGER" Plus, I think kroger is giving 4x fuel points thru 4/30 on gift cards. But I haven't found confirmation of that. Heck, I didn't even know they had any such thing as fuel points, we've never used ours. It is 2x fuel points on gift cards always, I think. Basically, this is how you get this Kroger Carnival gift card deal ... Log in to your Kroger acct online kroger.com. If you don't have one, register for one (we didn't have one so I registered). Link your Kroger card to your online acct. Then click on savings > digital coupons near upper left, then search for Carnival in the search bar. When it pulls up the $10 off coupon, then click Load to Card. (This is a coupon, you don't need to use points or anything to get this). Go to your nearest Kroger store and get two Carnival gift cards from the gift card display. At the register, tell them you want $25 on each gift card. When they scan your Kroger card, it will automatically ring the $10 off coupon into the register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted April 30, 2015 #565 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) Actually, when I checked out today, the cashier commented on all the fuel points that were given. I also don't shop there on a regular basis so wasn't sure what she was referring to lol. But after looking into it, you can actually save 10 cents on a gallon for a fill up either at Kroger or Shell with their points. Not too bad to get even more savings that I didn't expect. :) I wonder if they run this promotion often? Just another place to look for a discount, haha!

pmaust5 Posted April 30, 2015 #566 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Missed them again!! And I troll the site constantly but I have to work too! Darn it why don't they put more on there? They know they will sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmaust5 Posted April 30, 2015 #567 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Screwed again! I tried to get the Kroger ones and because there isn't a Kroger near me it wouldn't let me register! Even though I am a loyal Ralph's shopper and they are owned by Kroger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read this post for pretty much everything I know about these gift cards ... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=46303233&postcount=528 The Add to Cart button is active RIGHT NOW !!!' Based on previous experience, this means they are being "loaded" to the website and will become available to complete the purchase either within the next couple hours, OR very early tomorrow morning. Read the above link on how to complete your purchase after you add them to your cart. . Edited May 1, 2015 by angela12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela12345 Posted May 1, 2015 #572 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not the process to checkout. I normally hit the cart Button and that will refresh your screen. The little shopping cart icon all the way to the right, near the top of the screen that says Cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
