patcruise1 Posted May 14, 2015 #651 Share Posted May 14, 2015 [quote name='angela12345']Mine also came in about 5 days from the date that I ordered them. They arrived UPS and I had to sign for them. I would call or send an email, if they don't arrive today. Or, see if you can get a tracking number. Here is an interesting new twist ... I always leave some of the gift cards in my cart. Today, at some point a couple of hours after they all sold out, the cards that were in my cart disappeared. First time I have ever had that happen. Did this happen to anyone else ?[/quote] I did not order any today, but I left some in my cart and they are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seany527 Posted May 14, 2015 #652 Share Posted May 14, 2015 [quote name='lupster1']Has anyone received their cards yet from the last batch that were available on 5/1? I ordered 2 $500 cards and am hoping they arrive before I have to pay my balance next week :confused: I had received a call to confirm whether I had actually ordered them, and at that time I changed the shipping address to our UPS store/box so they can be signed for. My credit card was charged, so just hoping they arrive SOON! Missed out on today's :([/QUOTE] I ordered a $500 on May 8, shipped may 11th and received may 13. You might want to call and find out what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgriggs Posted May 20, 2015 #653 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Cards were available this morning, for those keeping track of days. I was too late to get any, but a friend of mine purchased some. Both $500 and $100 were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBruna Posted May 20, 2015 #654 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I've ordered 2 $500 cards for our upcoming cruise from citideals and saved $100! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steveknj Posted May 20, 2015 #655 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We bought $200 worth for incidental spending on our upcoming cruise on the Dream. My wife has been checking daily and hit the jackpot this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela12345 Posted May 21, 2015 #656 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks for reporting this dsgriggs ! I have been trying to track when they become available. So sad nobody caught it while they were live today. I know a lot of people are trying to get them. :( edit: Well phooey ! I just saw that someone did catch them while they were live and reported it on CC, which was good. I guess. BUT they started a new thread to do it, so none of the people subscribed to this thread found out about it unless they just happened to be reading CC right at the moment the new thread was started [U]and[/U] they happened to see the new thread. :( :( :( Edited May 21, 2015 by angela12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgriggs Posted May 21, 2015 #657 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yes, this time was a bit different in that they weren't in the system the night before, but were early in the morning. Then, at some point later in the morning you could actually add them to the cart and buy them. Same process as previously, but just not the same time frame.

cls711 Posted May 21, 2015 #660 Share Posted May 21, 2015 If you have a Citi credit card with citi rewards they are available there and they are e-cards so you get them immediately. Got 2 today for my cruise on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1994te Posted May 27, 2015 #667 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Verizon has put more gift cards on their website this morning, 5/27/15, although they are not live yet. Last time they went live about 9:00 AM. Good Luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time they went live about 9:00 AM. Good Luck!![/QUOTE] These are not gift cards but booking certificates, which work totally different. Think twice before purchasing these and read the fine print. They must be mailed in certified or something like that and I don't believe they can be used for onboard credit. [COLOR="Red"] ETA: three important points regarding these certificates FYI:[/COLOR] 1. This certificate is valid for its face value in U.S. dollars ("USD" and may only be redeemed on Carnival Cruise Lines ("Carnival") cruises priced and sold in USD. You may apply the certificate towards the purchase of any Carnival Cruise. This certificate is not valid on any other cruise line, including affiliates of Carnival. This certificate can be used in multiples and may be supplemented with other acceptable forms of payment. 6. The recipient will be required to mail this certificate to: Carnival Cruise Lines, 3655 NW 87th Ave. Miami, FL 33178 Attn: Special Programs MSGP 456S. Certificates should only be sent via a traceable method such as certified mail or overnight courier. Carnival is not responsible for lost or undelivered certificates. 7. This certificate may not be used to pay for the initial deposit, any government fees, taxes, onboard gratuities, games of chance and or any similar activities as determined by Carnival.

I saw them around 6:15am but knew better than to get them. I'm willing to bet folks scooped them up thinking they were gift cards. Those certificates haven't been on that site for months.

LindaJSteele Posted May 27, 2015 #672 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've bought many of those from another site as a form of "rewards", and they are very easy to use. I've never had one problem with any of those. It is a little aggravating to send them certified mail, but that's really as a precaution in case they get lost. I always have several when I send them in, so it's inexpensive that way. My PVP takes care of them for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volmoma Posted May 27, 2015 #673 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Are this certificates like the one you could buy on the ships several years ago??? Those were only used to booked future cruises. You either mailed them in or you gave the number to the TA. We always booked straight thru carnival and had a problem with those. Just wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1994te Posted May 27, 2015 #674 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You are correct. They are cruise certificates and not gift cards. Be forewarned everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
