Dina7 Posted September 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Does anyone know how long it takes to get an actual Gift Card mailed to you after you order it on the Carnival website. It doesn't say & I need it in 2 wks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted September 16, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ordered some in June, got them in the mail 4 or 5 days later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted September 16, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would recommend getting the eGift card instead, you get it right away in an email :) I ordered mine via Verizon (10% savings) and they came within 7-10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an Anniversary gift for someone, so that's why I need to order the actual gift card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAHMto5 Posted September 17, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have normally received the actual cards in about 4 days as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
near the beach Posted September 17, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2014 We order them frequently. It usually only takes a week. Order them early in the day and they ship the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snc_cam Posted September 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think the "plastic" gift cards have a 1-year expiration date whereas the electronic ones do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar1068 Posted September 17, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I think the "plastic" gift cards have a 1-year expiration date whereas the electronic ones do not. No expiration dates for plastic or ecards. Only gift cards that usually expire are promotional ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted September 17, 2014 #10 Share Posted September 17, 2014 It's an Anniversary gift for someone, so that's why I need to order the actual gift card. Understood, but there's no name on the eGift card :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dina7 Posted September 17, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Understood, but there's no name on the eGift card :) I just think the Gift card looks a little nicer than the eGift card, which is a piece of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snc_cam Posted September 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted September 18, 2014 So for all you people that like the shiny, pretty gift cards, please send me your $100 (US) paper bills and I will send you a gift card back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was considering the Verizon cards. Do you just apply the gift cards to your sail & sign account? Can you use them for final payments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkportersat Posted September 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yep, me too. If I can spend it I don't care what it looks like! :D So for all you people that like the shiny, pretty gift cards, please send me your $100 (US) paper bills and I will send you a gift card back :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefuninthesun Posted September 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If you order the e-gift card, you print it and take it along with you, right? Then how do you apply it to your account? Just show it at check in or guest services? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just show it at check in or guest services? TIA Yes, just print them and as soon as you board go to GS and they will just apply them directly to your account. Never had a problem with both the gift certificate cards themselves or the e-cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampbaby Posted September 18, 2014 #19 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Was considering the Verizon cards. Do you just apply the gift cards to your sail & sign account? Can you use them for final payments? Yes, they may be applied to ANY payment of a cruise, excursions, and if you so wish you may apply them to your S&S by either going to guest services after you board or simply use the kiosk.

Good to know about the kiosk. I was curious if they'd work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does the print out work at the kiosk? I haven't seen one yet... is there a bar code that gets scanned from the print out? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefuninthesun Posted September 18, 2014 #23 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Another (probably dumb) question about the e-certificates: :o When you apply them onboard to your account, are those funds in your account immediately? We want to buy Cheers when we board, so would like the funds right away. (would hate to postpone any alcohol consumption! :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they aren't, you you can purchase on sign n sail card backed by CC or cash. And the apply the cards... it will all wash out in the end. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 5 in my e-mail inbox, but didn't click the link because our printer is broke. So waiting to go to work and wasn't sure how many times I could access the link. haha Good to know though!
