just4steven Posted December 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hey Everyone - Does anyone have any input as to the pluses and minuses of each type of gift card ? Hoping to take advantage of the black Friday bonus offer before it expires alter this evening Thanks a bunch I'm sure others have additional thoughts, but I know if I want to use it instantly for say a cruise or excursions or the fun shops I do the e gift card. If I want to use it for my sign and sail account I get a physical gift card and use the kiosk :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muffin Posted December 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I THINK the difference is that a regular card is a plastic card mailed to you. You take it with you to the ship and add it then. I KNOW the ecard in emailed to you immediately after you buy it complete with all the numbers you need to activate it etc. you can immediately call carnival or your TA and have it applied. The extra promo card must be taken to the ship said carnival when I called and asked. I hope this info is correct. Their explaination online is very poor.

seabum Posted December 1, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks a bunch - planning on using it for our S&S account on our upcoming cruise in January. Maybe towards pre booked shore excursion - though that would involve canceling the one we've already booked and rebooking it with the gift card. Might not be worth the trouble. Just trying to take advantage of the bonus offer. Thanks again - and smooth sailing whenever you go again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publius1787 Posted December 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I ordered a bunch during the promotion during the weekend and ended up with the e-cards. I didn't feel like spending the shipping costs, even though it was only about a buck a card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roro3333 Posted December 2, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 2, 2014 When I purchased my $500 card during the weekend promotion, there was no mention of the bonus $50 in the email. Will it arrive with the card? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeisgoodPat Posted December 2, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I inquired and was told it would come in approximately 2 weeks. The bonus card can only be used on the ship as OBC for your sail and sign card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
