kdpatte Posted August 7, 2015 #26 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I just followed up today on Verizon certificates I ordered a few weeks ago and mailed last Tuesday. All $500 posted to my existing reservations yesterday. So total I bought $1500 worth of certificates(I did the other $1000 a few months back) that cost me $1350 and applied them all to my existing reservation with no issues.

yj2cute Posted August 7, 2015 #27 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Interesting. Good info. I checked today and there are no cruise line gift cards at all. Maybe we should keep this thread going and people can post when they notice they've been added again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashea07 Posted August 7, 2015 #29 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have been searching for the answer to this question! I am able to buy RC gift cards using Thank You points from Citi, however the listed terms and conditions are the same, stating new bookings only. I was hesitant to purchase one because of this, but now I may try it. Has anyone had any luck applying them as OBC to reservations that are paid? I realize the terms and conditions also prohibit that, but it sounds like they aren't adhered to anyway. I will be very interested to see how this works for people!

Have a ton of Verizon Points and Citi Thank You points to burn. I'm guessing no but it seems mileage varies when it comes to the T&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaKaye79 Posted August 8, 2015 #31 Share Posted August 8, 2015 They were back on the smart rewards site this morning but they are already sold out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaKaye79 Posted August 12, 2015 #32 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The Royal Caribbean rewards certificates are back on the verizon smart rewards site. I'd still like to hear from others that have been successful with applying them to previously booked cruises even though it says you can't. I haven't bought any yet since I need to use them for cruises I've already booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.Oceanlover Posted August 22, 2015 #33 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I wonder if you could book your cruise through RCI with the $500 worth of gift cards and then transfer to a TA and pay the balance with a credit card and no more gift cards?

GottaLuvCruising Posted August 22, 2015 #34 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I checked Verizon Rewards yesterday and they were sold out. I wish (when they become available again) I could use them to add a beverage package. My cruise is paid in full and we're debating the beverage package; a 10% discount would probably convince us to get it. Bummer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaKaye79 Posted August 22, 2015 #36 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I was hoping the original poster would let us know if she was successful in applying to the already booked cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin Broad Posted August 22, 2015 #37 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I just checked my account and noticed that both Royal Caribbean and Carnival gift cards are sold out. From reading other reviews, though, it seems that the cards become available every 8-10 days or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuki Posted August 22, 2015 #38 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've purchased other discount coupons on VW. However, if I remember correctly, the coupons must be redeemed within 2 weeks. Is this also the case with RCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iuki Posted August 22, 2015 #39 Share Posted August 22, 2015 RCI is being offered right now. The VW website also states that new deals are offered at 2pm on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlgants Posted September 7, 2015 #42 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks for sharing! $10 off a hundred isn't too exciting, but saving $500 off $5,000 would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaKaye79 Posted September 7, 2015 #43 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If you could use it for already booked cruises it would be awesome. Carnival ones can be used for previously booked cruises and OBC. Royal terms and conditions say for new bookings only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slmwo Posted September 10, 2015 #44 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Anyone know about expiration dates on these gift certificates? I purchased two $500 ones and they arrived this week but are dated 5/19/2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robandlil Posted September 11, 2015 #45 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I wonder if I showed up onboard and presented the RC gift card, if they would just put it as a credit on my account? Or at the end of the cruise to pay the charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leosmom Posted January 5, 2017 #48 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks princess bride. I have lots of Verizon wireless points but don't plan on booking a Rccl cruise for a few months. Do they have an expiration date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdbmga Posted January 8, 2017 #50 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The gift cards are available again Sent from my iPhone using Forums They aren't gift cards (like the Carnival ones). They are certificates that have to be mailed in. I bought a Carnival one in the past and was able to apply it online to my booking bc it has a gift card # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
