kteachcruiser52 Posted February 23, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just did!;) I think they're trying to clown us with the limited availability. Either sell them or don't!!![/quoteI wonder if Carnival gives them a discount on the cards. perhaps Verizon gives us 10%, but Carnival gives Verizon a discount - say 2%. If that is the case Carnival would put a limit on the $ amount of gift cards Verizon could sell in a specific time frame. If Verizon was paying Carnival the whole 10% they are giving us, there would be no reason to limit the cards. Just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted February 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I don't know but I emailed Carnival about these gift cards before and they said it was up to Verizon's fulfillment center as to when they make them available and that the non-availability before was a security issue with Verizon. I tend to believe that part only because once they became available again, they were no longer ecards but physical cards that had to be mailed. But who knows now. I was surprised the $500 cards sold out almost as quickly as the $100 ones last week. When I called them this afternoon, all the lady said was that they get them but they sell out fast. I really wanted to complain more than I did, but she was so nice. Sounded like one of my aunt's. I just couldn't do it:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funsince1983 Posted February 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Ugh. I wish there was a way to set an alert for when they're back in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnetlady4u Posted February 24, 2015 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2015 When I checked the site tonight...the carnival "gift card" showed up but the description said e-gift card....hmmmm?

Funsince1983 Posted February 24, 2015 #11 Share Posted February 24, 2015 What are these cards for? They're gift cards. Verizon Wireless has a "smart rewards" program, you can redeem 1000 points and get a $100 for $90 real money or redeem 5000 points for a $500 gift card for $450.

Beth Posted February 24, 2015 #14 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Where can you find these gift cards? What web site? Thanks Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinisthebest Posted February 24, 2015 #15 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Where can you find these gift cards? What web site? Thanks Beth It's parts of verizon's rewards program. If you use Verizon for home or wireless service, you can purchase the cards for 10% off by using points you accumulate. Rewards dot verizonwireless dot com.

Rare mitsugirly Posted February 25, 2015 #16 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm too late again. I randomly decided to check a little bit ago and noticed they were on there for the $500 and SOLD OUT. Grrr, I feel like I'll never get one unless I stay logged in, at my computer, and refreshing the screen over and over all day. So frustrating. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webzila Posted February 25, 2015 #17 Share Posted February 25, 2015 In reality, Verizon is not even the one selling the reward based items. If you read the terms of service, the whole rewards things is operated by the 'Program Manager' which is Destination Rewards, Inc I am sure either one is not purposely trying to 'screw' anyone by making the Carnival gift cards un-available. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/smart-rewards-legal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kteachcruiser52 Posted February 27, 2015 Author #18 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You find them on Version website under My Smart Rewards. I paid $450 plus 1,000 points for a $500 gift card. You must have a Verizon account to have points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc13 Posted March 1, 2015 #24 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I say don't even bother messing with it. They've charged my card before but then told me they were out of stock so I had to wait a week for my $450 to go back into my bank account. Wasn't happy. Not worth the hassle.
